1. GEN t3xture
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| t3xture | Gen.G Esports | 18 | 328 | 272 | 55 | 1.2 | 241 | 18.2 | 15.1 | 3 |
t3xture made the Duelist agents look pretty easy in the international VCT stage. With an insane 241 ACS/map score and 1.2 KD, t3xture emerged as the MVP of the tournament.
2. TH Wo0t
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wo0t | Team Heretics | 25 | 427 | 352 | 85 | 1.21 | 248 | 17 | 14 | 3.4 |
With a whopping 427 kills, Wo0t is the only player to surpass the 400 kills mark in VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai. Despite the fact that Team Heretics had to play through the group stage, getting over 400 kills in a single tournament is nothing less than extraordinary.
3. GEN Meteor
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meteor | Gen.G | 18 | 326 | 267 | 51 | 1.22 | 230 | 18.1 | 14.8 | 2.8 |
Meteor has been, by far, the best Sentinel player in Masters Shanghai. Meteor’s multi-kill capacity was one of the reasons why Gen.G managed to get into the finals and win the Masters trophy.
4. FNTC Derke
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derke | Fnatic | 6 | 108 | 92 | 29 | 1.17 | 258 | 18 | 15.3 | 4.8 |
Although Fnatic was able to play only 6 maps, Derke proved why he is still one of the best players in the world. No one in the entire tournament was able to surpass Derke’s awesome 258 ACS/map score.
5. FPX Life
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life | FunPlus Phoenix | 9 | 174 | 173 | 45 | 1 | 239 | 19.3 | 19.2 | 5 |
In my opinion, Funplus Phoenix’s VCT 2024 run was pretty sad. The team had to go through both the finalists, Gen.G and Team Heretics, on the group stage. Nonetheless, despite facing the toughest opponents, Life performed incredibly well in the tournament.
6. G2 JonahP
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JonahP | G2 Esports | 17 | 246 | 245 | 121 | 1 | 203 | 14.4 | 14.4 | 7.1 |
JonahP’s stats aren’t remarkably impressive. However, you still have to consider the fact that G2 is the only team that went toe-to-toe with the two finalists before being beaten by Gen.G in the Upper Bracket finals. Among all the players, JonahP played his absolute best against the powerhouses.
7. GEN Karon
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| karon | Gen.G | 18 | 270 | 238 | 175 | 1.13 | 193 | 15 | 13.2 | 9.7 |
Karon is the uncrowned king of Gen.G. It is almost impossible to judge a Controller Agent by his KD or ACS. However, if you look at Karon’s assists/map, you’ll realize how crucial his role is in his team.
8. TH RieNs
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RieNs | Team Heretics | 25 | 362 | 317 | 191 | 1.14 | 207 | 14.4 | 12.6 | 7.6 |
RieNs has been an asset to Team Heretics. His Initiator support has been key to Team Heretics’ advancement to the grand finals. His KD and ACS are also very impressive, considering Team Heretics is a defensive and strategy-based team.
9. LEV aspas
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| aspas | Leviatan | 8 | 137 | 117 | 28 | 1.17 | 237 | 17.1 | 14.6 | 3.5 |
Similar to Derke, aspas has been a consistent player for a very long time. Despite the short run of only 8 matches, aspas managed to maintain impressive KD and ACS.
10. PRX Something
| Player | Team | Maps | Kills | Deaths | Assists | KD | ACS/Map | Kills/Map | Deaths/Map | Assists/Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Something | Paper Rex | 8 | 138 | 123 | 49 | 1.12 | 237 | 17.2 | 15.3 | 6.1 |
Paper Rex had a pretty disappointing run in the VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai. The only player who stood up was Something. With an ACS of 237 and 1.12 KD, Something performed better than the majority of the players in VCT 2024 Shanghai event.
