EVPs and All-Star Players Named for BLAST Open Porto 2026

HLTV has wrapped up the individual awards for BLAST Open Porto 2026, naming the EVP recipients and the tournament’s All-Star lineup. The biggest star of the event was Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, who claimed the MVP award - the 13th of his career.

The Team Spirit player finished the group stage with a 1.62 rating and once again proved to be the key figure for his team. At the same time, this was one of those tournaments where Spirit’s success did not rely on donk alone, as several of his teammates also ranked among the event’s best performers.

BLAST Open Porto 2026 EVPs:

Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov emerged as the strongest MVP contender behind donk. The Russian AWPer posted the highest playoff rating of the tournament at 1.31 and earned his fifth EVP award of 2026.

The EVP list also included:

• sh1ro — Team Spirit

• xelex — MOUZ

• m0NESY — Falcons

• ZywOo — Vitality

• tN1R — Team Spirit

• Spinx — MOUZ

Adrian “xelex” Vincze was one of the breakout players of the event and helped MOUZ reach the grand final. m0NESY and ZywOo once again delivered strong individual numbers despite their teams being eliminated in the semifinals.

tN1R also stood out, producing an impressive performance on the deciding map of the final against MOUZ. This became his third EVP award of the season.
