So far in 2026, the race for individual awards has one clear leader — ZywOo. The French star from Vitality has already collected four MVPs and has pulled noticeably ahead of every other player, all of whom currently have only one such award each.
The most valuable tournament players of 2026
At this stage of the season, the picture looks as simple as possible: when the conversation turns to the most valuable tournament player of 2026, the main name is ZywOo. The rest of the MVP titles have been distributed among different representatives of the top scene, but so far no one has come close to the Frenchman’s pace.

ZywOo has already taken four MVPs
The strongest part of this picture is not even the fact that he is leading, but the scale of the gap. ZywOo has 4 MVPs, while every other player on the list has only 1.
That says a lot about how strong Vitality have been through the opening and middle parts of the season. When one team reaches titles this often, and its main star consistently collects the individual awards, it no longer looks like a run of successful tournaments — it starts to look like full-scale domination.
Who else has won MVPs in 2026
Besides ZywOo, the players with one MVP award in 2026 are:
- NiKo
- makazze
- ropz
- cmtry
- donk
- w0nderful
- latto
So the list is fairly diverse: there are both established stars of the scene and younger players who have already managed to make a loud statement. But for now, all of them remain behind the Frenchman precisely in the number of top individual trophies.
This describes Vitality’s form best of all
With this kind of statistic, it is always important to look not only at the individual player, but also at the team background. In ZywOo’s case, his four MVPs directly highlight just how stable and effective Vitality have been in 2026.
Awards like these are rarely collected in isolation from team victories. So the current score in the MVP race is both a compliment to ZywOo himself and another piece of proof that Vitality remain the main force of the season right now.
The competitors only have isolated flashes for now
It is interesting that almost every other name on the list looks like a separate bright tournament flash. NiKo, ropz, donk, w0nderful, and makazze have already shown MVP-level form, but so far none of them have been able to turn that into a long series of tournament wins.
That is exactly why the gap between first place and the rest is so noticeable. One player has already collected four trophies, while the rest of the scene is still splitting single victories among themselves.

The individual hero of the season
At this moment, ZywOo is the undisputed leader among all 2026 MVP winners. His four awards make the Frenchman the main individual hero of the season, while all the other stars still have only one best-player-of-the-tournament title each.
If he keeps up this pace, then even now it is fair to say that 2026 is gradually turning into yet another season in which ZywOo is not just staying among the elite, but once again setting its standards.
