Multiple IGLs led their teams to deep runs in Malta, but few can say they are fully satisfied with the results. The choice, albeit maybe an uninspired one, ultimately fell on the most deserving candidate, young Polish IGL siuhy. The MOUZ captain ended up directly eliminating most of the competition, including Marco ‘\u009cSnappi’\u009d Pfeiffer’\u0099s ENCE, with the Dane being too established at this point for the ‘\u009cmost improved player’\u009d moniker, and Aleksi ‘\u009cAleksib’\u009d Virolainen’\u0099s NAVI, who fell at the final hurdle. The only other potential choice for the role was Volodymyr ‘\u009cWoro2k’\u009d Veletniuk, Monte’\u0099s AWPing-IGL, but the Ukrainian wasn’\u0099t particularly impactful during his team’\u0099s shaky group stage.<\/p>\n

siuhy’\u0099s move back to MOUZ was met with high expectations, and the Pole was able to deliver (Image Credits: ESL | Helena Kristiansson)<\/span><\/div>\nHaving secured his first Big Event crown, siuhy has now established himself as a real contender on the international stage and he has done so without ever looking shaky from an individual standpoint. The Polish IGL was never one of the best-performing players in his squad, but he was able to consistently get involved in the action. His only real stumble in the entirety of the event was the semi-final match against ENCE, where siuhy recorded a measly 35 kills across the three maps (even conceding seven first deaths on Vertigo alone), and MOUZ narrowly escaped elimination.<\/p>\n
So why is siuhy’\u0099s stock rising after the event? Not only did he lead his team to the title, but the Pole did so while significantly improving his performances when compared to IEM Cologne. The biggest step forward was in the opening kill department, as siuhy cut over 10% of his attempts in favor of the team’\u0099s stars, mainly torzsi (whose attempt rose by nearly 6% across the two events) and Jimpphat (5.5%). Simultaneously, his success rate rose from 15 to 35%, slotting right alongside other space-creating IGLs like Snappi and Rasmus ‘\u009cHooXi’\u009d Nielsen. In little over a month, siuhy was able to fully implement a working tier-one system, and the EPL title is but the cherry on the cake.<\/p>\n
Entry: Sergiy ‘\u009cDemQQ’\u009d Demchenko<\/strong><\/h2>\nBLIX’\u0099s pick for the entry fragger position is Monte’\u0099s DemQQ, with the Ukrainian rifler peaking after embracing a more aggressive playstyle since Alexander ‘\u009cbr0’\u009d Bro joined the team back in July. DemQQ edged out MOUZ’\u0099s Dorian ‘\u009cxertioN’\u009d Berman, who performed admirably but played second fiddle to his teammates in most matches, NAVI’\u0099s Mihai ‘\u009ciM’\u009d Ivan, and even Eternal Fire’\u0099s Ismailcan ‘\u009cXANTARES’\u009d D\u00c3\u00b6rtkarde\u00c5\u009f. The Turkish rifler was statistically the best player for the spot, but his unquestionable individual talent, also shown in his previous tier-one stint, already made him an established name in the international CS:GO landscape.<\/p>\n

Having now adapted his game to be more proactive in an attempt to fill the gap left by the Jordanian star, DemQQ produced his most impressive LAN performance by a significant margin, turning into a mechanically flawless round opener.

Here DemQQ led Monte in kills against fnatic, with the Ukrainian organization taking home a 2-1 victory, before having his worst series at the event against Complexity.

Monte wouldn’\u0099t see a fairytale ending to their run, as they were swept in a close 2-0 series by NAVI, but still recorded the second-highest amount of opening kills among all riflers, showing a clear growth as a player from a tactical standpoint.<\/p>\n
