The final stage of BLAST Open London 2025 delivered not only one of the brightest finals in modern CS2 history but also a series of individual performances worthy of being remembered in tournament history. HLTV has released the ranking of the top 10 players of the decisive stage, vividly reflecting the balance between reliable veterans and the scene’s new heroes.
Spinx — the king of consistency, even without the final
The top spot went to Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, who played only five maps for MOUZ but did it with such quality that he outshone even the finalists. His 1.36 rating and 1.37 K/D with a +23 frag differential confirm that Spinx remains one of the most reliable riflers in the world. Although MOUZ stopped in the semifinals, it was the Israeli star who gave his team the chance to fight until the end.
ZywOo — the face of Vitality and HeavyGod’s main rival
In second place, unsurprisingly, was Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, whose play in the final stage once again proved his superstar status. The Frenchman recorded 34 more kills than deaths, finishing with a 1.39 K/D and a 1.35 rating.
However, despite his efforts, Vitality fell short in the grand final, leaving ZywOo with perhaps the harshest feeling for a star: individual brilliance without the team trophy.
HeavyGod — G2’s new legend
Third place and the main sensation of the tournament was Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko. The Ukrainian became the true symbol of G2’s triumph: his 1.32 rating and +36 K-D made him the most impactful player of the final. His clutch plays, accuracy, and mental resilience turned out to be the deciding factors in the five-map thriller against Vitality. HeavyGod didn’t just write his name into BLAST history — he officially entered the world elite of CS2.
MATYS and SunPayus — champions’ shadows that shined through
Fourth place went to Aurélien “MATYS” Chiron. The Frenchman from G2 once again proved to be a versatile and multifaceted player. His 1.28 rating and +34 frag differential reflected incredible consistency across nine maps. Close behind him was Alvaro “SunPayus” Garcia, G2’s primary AWPer. Although he finished with a 1.10 rating, his AWP was the cornerstone of the “Samurai’s” disciplined defense. The Spaniard especially shone in the semifinal, shutting down FURIA completely.
flameZ and mezii — the British touch in Vitality
The BLAST Open London 2025 final was held on home soil for Shahar “flameZ” Shushan and William “mezii” Merriman, and both British Vitality players made the top 10.
- flameZ, with a 1.17 rating, confirmed his reputation as an aggressive entry-fragger capable of breaking rounds wide open from the start.
- mezii, with a 1.01 rating, rounded out the list. His role, however, cannot be measured by numbers alone: he was the “glue” that held the team together in crucial moments of the final.
huNter- and malbsMd — G2’s depth
Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač also earned recognition. Despite posting “only” a 1.09 rating, the Bosnian continued to balance his role as captain with impactful performances in key rounds.
Meanwhile, Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa, G2’s new addition, finished with just a 1.02 rating but still secured a spot in the top 10. For him, this tournament was a true test of resilience, and while the stats may not impress, his aggressive entries in the final against Vitality will remain etched in the fans’ memory.
HexT — the unexpected name on the list
The only representative outside of the finalists and semifinalists was Jadan “HexT” Postma from M80. The Canadian ended the tournament with a negative K-D (-6) but still made the top 10 thanks to a 1.05 rating. His individual highlights in the earlier stages were a small revelation for those who considered M80 hopeless outsiders.
Conclusions: G2’s dominance and a new balance of power
In the end, the BLAST Open London 2025 finals brought four G2 names into the top 10, three from Vitality, and one each from MOUZ and M80. This reflects not only the final standings but also a broader trend: G2 boast the deepest roster, Vitality rely heavily on ZywOo, and Spinx proves MOUZ’s versatility even in defeat.
Yet the main conclusion is crystal clear: in London, a new global CS2 star was born — HeavyGod.
