Dmitry «sh1ro» Sokolov of Gambit won the MVP title at IEM Fall CIS. This is the second title of the best player in his career – . The previous time he showed the maximum result at IEM Katowice 2021, when Gambit defeated Virtus.pro.
At the IEM Fall CIS tournament sh1ro was able to rise to the top in several categories at once: he topped the leaderboard in overall rankings, number of clutches won, kill/death ratio, kills per round and other indicators. His most notable matches were the game against Entropiq, which he finished with a 1.95 rating, and the grand final, in which Gambit managed to beat NAVI on both maps. In addition, he demonstrated his ability not only to show himself in individual matches, but also to give a stable result, finishing all 11 cards in this tournament with a rating higher than one.
Sh1ro beat two other MVP contenders by a rather large margin. His opponent Alexander «s1mple» Kostylev showed not such a high level as in the previous tournaments, so he failed to continue the series of three MVP titles in a row. The closest competitor to sh1ro at IEM Falls CIS was Marek «YEKINDAR» Galinskis from Virtus.pro, but he was behind the Gambit sniper in terms of performance.
