Discussion: HLTV names Vitality-heavy EVP and All-Star teams for Counter-Strike 2 ESL Pro League S24

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

ZywOo, flameZ and Spinx headline HLTV’s Season 24 awards after Vitality’s run, while the All-Star five leans heavily on the same core.

Read the full story. What do you think?

the apEX pick makes more sense once you read the role note, but i still think ropz was the cleaner all-round case. three Vitality players in the all-star five feels a bit inevitable when ZywOo wins MVP though.

ropz is in the EVP list, so it is not like HLTV ignored him. the all-star slot is the one where the IGL rules and team cap start messing with the obvious choices.

The team cap is the whole point here. If they allowed four from one lineup, it would just be Vitality fan club with extra steps and no one would learn anything from the list.

that cap does make the list less dumb, but it also forces weird compromises like choosing between apEX and ropz for completely different jobs. HLTV says it is role based, then still has to squeeze everything through one roster limit, so the result is half merit and half puzzle solving. I actually prefer that over a straight popularity board, but it is still why people will argue about the last two names every time.

and that puzzle is probably why PR got in despite not making EVP. the role balance matters more than people want to admit, especially when one team is clearly stacking the star power.

PR in and torzsi out is the spicy part for me. group stage guys always look great until the playoff maps hit and the list gets ugly
