HLTV's MVPs Make ZERO Sense (ft Snappi)

It is because I feel like a lot of people, I mean, they're not going to care.

In fact, every time I bring this kind of stuff up, I think 80%, 90% of my stream is debating over these kinds of things.

But there's always the one guy that's like, who even cares about MVPs? The problem is that MVPs are such a strong determinant of how the top 20 placement goes.

Yeah, yeah.

On top of that, sometimes certain orgs will give incentives or bonuses to players, especially if they are able to accomplish those kinds of things.

Also, the same kind of guy that wonders who cares about MVPs, do pros even care about their stats? I mean, I've literally seen in-between maps at pro tournaments...

I'm not trying to snoop or anything like that, but a pro player will look at things like this in the meantime or immediately after games.

They'll scroll their rating page.

I'm pretty sure S1mple actually got...

At a tournament, it was shown on an ESL one.

They were behind him, and he was just scrolling HLTV.

Actually, I think it was comments.

But at the same time, pros do look at these things occasionally.

And, you know... you know, funnily, actually, I think this made front page Reddit magics when he was on the desk with me or the one-on-one interview with me after they won their game at the most recent blast event.

He was just so excited that he got over a 1.00 rating.

I'll just say this, like for the, the, the people out there that are fans that think that pros don't care about MVPs or stats or anything like that, you're gravely mistaken.

There are There are there are more than a handful that are consummate professionals that are just caring about winning and doing their absolute best regardless of the stats.

But a lot of them do care.

A lot of them really, really care about their stats.

I think you even ask like pro NBA and soccer players also this kind of question.

And like I think I think Durant knew his his own box score at halftime before some crap like that.

You know, like like even the best players in any sport will know their stats.

OK, that's enough of a preamble.

So the point that I have is that digging through HLTV's MVPs through history has proven that they are actually quite inconsistent in terms of how they're awarded.

Especially when you actually just read the articles of what they're saying is the determining factor for why a certain person got the MVP over another.
