He's not had a LAN below a 1.15 rating this season, and now has earned his reward with an MVP and trophy lift at Thunderpick World Championship. That means both of the Brazilian's MVPs come from TWC, adding to his one from last year.
But this one was even stronger than last year's, with a whopping seven player-of-the-map performances. The gap to his team was stark in almost every metric: +0.35 in rating, +0.24 against top 10 teams, +3.28% round swing.
His average rank on his team's scoreboard was 1.75. It's KSCERATO 's fifth EVP+ event of 2026, as he looks to improve on his best-ever ninth-place finish in the Top 20.

After a day one loss to FURIA , Magnojez stepped up a gear and posted a 1.44 rating in map wins to guide BETBOOM through the lower bracket to the final.
He was player of the map six times, only one fewer than KSCERATO , and finished the final with the highest rating (1.23) of anyone to cap a magnificent event.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
FURIA can stand on this line: "After a day one loss to FURIA , Magnojez stepped up a gear and posted a 1.44 rating in map wins to guide BETBOOM through the lower bracket to the final." It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
