CS:GO AWPer Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko is statistically the third-best player of the BLAST Paris Major Challengers Stage but his heroics weren’t enough to push FORZE over the line and qualify for the Legends Stage.
The Russian team were knocked out of the event following a 2-0 loss to GamerLegion on May 11 in the 2-2 pool of the Swiss system. Although FORZE fell flat and failed to advance after being 2-1 up in the Challengers Stage, zorte was consistently great during the event. He averaged a 1.33 rating after seven maps, according to HLTV, and most notably recorded a +63 K-D difference, which is higher than G2’s m0NESY (+40)—who’s undoubtedly the best player of this event thanks to a superb 1.49 rating in four maps.
