ZywOo Breaks Record with 22nd MVP at ESL Pro League Season 21

Team Vitality’s superstar Mathieu “ZywOo“ Herbaut has made history, securing his 22nd MVP award after an incredible performance at ESL Pro League Season 21. With this achievement, he surpasses Oleksandr “s1mple“ Kostyliev’s previous record of 21 MVP awards.

Throughout the prestigious Counter-Strike 2 event, the French prodigy displayed exceptional form, averaging an impressive 1.43 rating across 15 maps. His highlight moment came on Inferno against MIBR, where he delivered a phenomenal 2.28 rating. Despite facing a challenging Dust2 map against MOUZ (0.71 rating), ZywOo maintained dominance with an impressive overall performance:

  • Average Damage per Round (ADR): 90

  • Kills per Round (KPR): 1.14

This marks ZywOo’s second MVP title this year, following his standout performance at IEM Katowice, positioning him firmly for an unprecedented fourth Player of the Year title.

ESL Pro League Season 21 took place from March 1 to 16, 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden, featuring a prize pool of $400,000 split among 24 teams. Vitality took the crown after a decisive grand final victory against MOUZ, largely thanks to ZywOo’s exceptional playoff (1.39 rating) and grand final performances (1.28 rating).
