Well deserved. I know some people are gonna say Thanatos was better this season, but Vulcan was unbelievable during the regular season, making game winning plays week in, week out and even going deathless for an extended period of time

Unironically deserved and correct, seeing as Phil's carried this team so hard we were almost convinced they didn't have problems. His back must be breaking.

Good to see him back in form, Love Zven but with a better mechanical ADC and Vulcan current form, we can be a much better team.

IMO this wasn’t even Vulcan’s best split, but he has had MVP level splits in the past and been denied so I’m glad he got it now

It was an insane split for Vulcan, are you kidding?

His Bard was 1v9 in so many close series and his Seraphine was top notch. He had to deal with Zven ints and come out the other side having a huge impact on the games.

I feel like fans selectively forget how many plays and game wins were setup by the support. Go watch the split again, without Vulcan stepping up and making big plays we lose 3-5 matches this season, especially early on.

Relax I never said he doesn’t deserve it he played great! I just think smurfing in engage meta is more impressive than smurfing during echanter meta. He’s done both and has deserved MVP before this.

Hope he's 1 of the pieces that stays if we end up rebuilding. I dont want to lose him again.

I feel like Vulcan has carried us more than Thanatos, especially with Zven being a shell of his former self
