xertioN named IEM Beijing MVP

Dorian "xertioN" Berman won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for IEM Beijing, selected by HLTV x 1xBet. The Israeli player earned his first MVP title in his career after leading MOUZ through a flawless campaign at the tournament.

xertioN delivered consistently strong performances in the playoff series against BETBOOM and The MongolZ. He stood out in many moments across those matches and recorded a 1.53 average rating over the playoffs.

He faced a race for the award with teammate Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás. The Hungarian AWPer had earned great prestige through his consistency. However, his performance dropped in the final map, and his playoff rating finished at 1.20, behind the team leader. Since the tournament-wide rating gap was small, at 1.28 versus 1.33, xertioN took the lead with his deep playoff performance and his contribution in the group stage.

Ukrainian player Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov was also considered a third-place MVP candidate for his standout performances throughout the tournament. However, he could not reach the award against MOUZ's strong candidates.

This was the first time since Dzhami "Jame" Ali won at IEM Rio Major 2022 that a player who led the event in in-game performance received the top individual award at a major tournament.
