The EVPs and All-Stars of ESL Pro League S24

HLTV published its list of the best players from ESL Pro League Season 24, along with the EVP recipients and the tournament’s All-Star team. The top three spots in the individual ranking were all occupied by Vitality players - ZywOo, flameZ, and ropz.

The biggest star of the tournament was Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut, who had already received the MVP award and increased his career total to 34. The Frenchman was especially impressive in the playoffs, where he was named the best player on several maps and finished the arena stage with a 1.58 rating.

flameZ and ropz Also Made the Top Three

Shahar "flameZ" Shushan was ZywOo’s closest rival in the MVP race. This was already the Israeli player’s fifth EVP award of 2026.

Throughout the tournament, flameZ regularly delivered strong maps and posted at least one rating above 1.55 in every Vitality series. His performances against Falcons and PARIVISION stood out in particular, as he surpassed the 2.00 rating mark.

Third place went to Robin "ropz" Kool. The Estonian was extremely consistent throughout the tournament, with only one map ending below a 1.00 rating. He posted a 1.40 rating in the group stage and maintained a solid 1.24 in the playoffs.

Spinx, Wicadia, and m0NESY Received EVP Awards

Lotan "Spinx" Giladi finished fourth in the final ranking. He was one of MOUZ’s key players on the team’s run to the final and ended the tournament with an overall 1.22 rating.

Next was Ali "Wicadia" Haydar Yalçın from Aurora. Despite questions surrounding his adaptation after moving into an international lineup, the Turkish player once again became one of the team’s main offensive forces and performed confidently against top-five and top-ten opposition.

Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov finished sixth. Despite Falcons’ inconsistent results, the Russian AWPer maintained strong individual form and earned another EVP award.

The list was rounded out by Danil "donk" Kryshkovets. The tournament was less consistent for him than usual, but a 1.48 rating on maps Spirit won and a 1.19 playoff rating were enough for him to secure his eighth EVP award of 2026.

Who Missed Out on the Main List

The players closest to earning EVP recognition were torzsi and PR from MOUZ. torzsi had a strong group stage with a 1.32 rating but dropped off in the playoffs. PR, on the other hand, looked much better on the arena stage, but his group-stage results were not enough.

NiKo, KSCERATO, mezii, xiELO, w0nderful, and dgt also finished close to the EVP threshold.

ESL Pro League S24 All-Star Team

The tournament’s All-Star lineup was:

• Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut — AWPer

• Shahar "flameZ" Shushan — Opener

• Oldřich "PR" Nový — Anchor

• Dan "apEX" Madesclaire — IGL

• Lotan "Spinx" Giladi — Closer

ZywOo and flameZ earned their places as the two best players in their respective roles. PR was selected as the best Anchor, while apEX took the IGL spot thanks to Vitality’s strong overall performance. The Closer role went to Spinx, who finished ahead of the other candidates when the final five was selected.

As a result, Vitality not only won ESL Pro League Season 24 but also dominated the tournament’s individual awards and honors.
