According to the results of the championship, the 25-year-old Ukrainian sniper outperformed his pursuers in the fight for the MVP award, despite the defeat of his team in the grand final by FaZe Clan with a score of 2:3.

s1mple finished the tournament with an overall rating of 1.25, which is the third most among all players (ZywOo - 1.31, blameF - 1.29). Nevertheless, the esportsman made it to the grand final with his team, where he lost to FaZe Clan in an equal fight.
