Danil donk Kryshkovets has been named the HLTV x 1xBET Most Valuable Player of BLAST Open Porto after leading Spirit to a second consecutive trophy following their Esports World Cup win. The 19-year-old’s latest medal pushes his overall MVP tally to 13 and his Big Event total to 10, moving him ahead of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač on HLTV’s Big Event MVP list.
How donk Sealed It Late
donk put himself firmly in contention early with a 1.61-rated group stage and playoff run, but the MVP race tightened once Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov delivered three standout performances across the semi-finals and the opening two maps of the grand final.
donk responded in the latter stages of the final. His performance in Spirit’s momentum-shifting map-three victory on Ancient, followed by a solid finish on Nuke, helped settle the award in his favour. It added to his strong map-one showing against Falcons earlier in the event and left him with a 1.40 event rating.
The Numbers Behind the Milestone
- Overall career MVP tally: 13
- Big Event MVP tally: 10, overtaking NiKo
