Winning the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award at a Major remains one of the highest honors in competitive Counter-Strike. While lifting the trophy is the ultimate team goal, securing MVP is a rare individual accolade — a mark of excellence that highlights a player’s standout impact during one of the game’s biggest stages.

From Jesper “JW” Wecksell at the very first Major in 2013 to Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut at the BLAST.tv Austin Major in 2025, this list features some of the greatest players in CS history. These MVPs not only shaped their respective events but left a lasting mark on the game itself.

Below, you’ll find a full list of MVP winners from every CS:GO and CS2 Major, covering more than a decade of elite Counter-Strike action.
