Mathieu \u201cZywOo\u201d Herbaut was named the tournament\u2019s MVP, once again confirming his status as one of the defining players of the CS2 era.

In the quarterfinal against The MongolZ, ZywOo immediately set the tone. With a 2.18 rating, full control on Mirage, and a confident showing on Dust2, he left no room for an upset. Vitality looked composed from start to finish, while ZywOo played with near-flawless precision.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Holding the line against Spirit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the semifinal against Spirit was a much tougher test. Donk\u2019s aggressive approach forced Vitality to constantly adapt. Even so, ZywOo remained the player who stabilized the game in moments of pressure. With a 1.20 rating, he controlled the pace of the series and enabled Vitality to close the matchup 2\u20130, even without overwhelming statistics.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Experience meets consistency in the final<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, the grand final against FaZe required a different kind of impact. Facing one of the most experienced teams in the world, Vitality were pushed to four maps. In this series, ZywOo\u2019s MVP performance was defined not by dominance, but by constant value: timely trades, smart entries, and influence in decisive rounds. Moreover, strong performances from ropz and mezii helped Vitality secure a 3\u20131 victory.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/vitality-reach-the-grand-final-of-starladder-budapest-major-2025\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/54979981430_ea45b26b3f_k.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Vitality reach the grand final of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/vitality-reach-the-grand-final-of-starladder-budapest-major-2025\">Vitality reach the grand final of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/vitality-reach-the-grand-final-of-starladder-budapest-major-2025\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778163245#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778163245#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1778163245#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Dec 13 2025<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>ZywOo\u2019s key numbers at the Major<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Rating 3.0 \u2014 1.38<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">High ADR and KAST across the entire tournament<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Consistently positive swing in the playoffs<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Decisive impact against The MongolZ, Spirit, and FaZe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ultimately, this MVP award reflects reliability, game sense, and the ability to win a full tournament \u2014 not just individual maps.<\/p>\n<h3>Top 10 Players of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.
