The BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 group stage ended with a very telling picture in the individual rating standings. The tournament’s top 5 players included two representatives from NAVI, two players from G2, and only one ZywOo, who was left standing almost alone amid this two-team dominance.
ZywOo’s presence
This distribution says a lot about who was really setting the pace in the group stage. NAVI and G2 did not just make it through their stage strongly as teams — their leaders also flooded the top of the individual rating list. Against that background, ZywOo’s presence looks even more telling: he once again maintains his level even when two other teams are taking over the table around him.

NAVI took the top two spots
The main stars of the group stage were NAVI’s players. First place in the rating went to makazze with a 1.47 rating, and right behind him came w0nderful with a 1.46.
This is a very strong signal for the Ukrainian roster. When not just one player explodes individually, but two immediately lock down the top two spots, it means the team did not get through the group stage on the edge — it did so with a genuinely powerful reserve of form.
ZywOo keeps his level even on his own
Third on the list was ZywOo with a 1.36 rating. And although this time he did not top the table, the mere fact that he is present in such company surprises nobody anymore.
What is most interesting here is something else: in this top five, he became the only representative of Vitality. In other words, while NAVI and G2 entered the top as groups, ZywOo once again held his place among the best almost single-handedly.
G2 also entered the top in numbers
Fourth and fifth place in the rating remained with G2. HeavyGod finished the group stage with a 1.25 rating, while SunPayus posted a 1.23.
This means G2 also got through the stage not thanks to one hot performer, but through strong contributions from several key figures at once. And that is exactly why the final top-5 table looks so symbolic: NAVI at the top, G2 at the bottom, and ZywOo in the middle.
The top 5 of the group stage turned out to be very telling
The full top five looks like this:
- makazze — 1.47
- w0nderful — 1.46
- ZywOo — 1.36
- HeavyGod — 1.25
- SunPayus — 1.23
This is not just pretty statistics on an image. It is also a very clear snapshot of which teams are truly maintaining the best individual pace in the tournament right now.

BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 group stage
By the end of the BLAST Rivals 2026 S1 group stage, the individual rating standings had turned into a small battle between NAVI and G2, with only ZywOo managing to wedge himself in between them. The Ukrainian club took the top two spots, G2 locked down fourth and fifth position, and the Frenchman from Vitality once again confirmed that he remains elite even without mass support in the best-player table.
That is exactly why this top 5 looks not just like group-stage statistics, but like a very clear hint at who is really setting the tone at BLAST Rivals.
