Let me start this off by saying that I like Bjergsen and I don't like Jensen (Look into Jensen's League history before the LCS and you'll understand why I've never been a fan).
With you now knowing my bias, I'm still adamant that Bjergsen deserves this award. It's lame because he's won so many already, but it's true.
KDA and Kills are a cool stat, but they really don't mean much in the long run if you aren't winning games. Kills can be over hyped, but skewed by the fact that you can get a toooon of kills in a single game (Only resulting in ONE game win) and KDA elevated by not getting killed in game losses (Which while it's cool, still results in a team loss).
In my opinion Player of the Game awards are a VERY good stat for deciding MVP. That's because you can only get an award if your team WINS, and it shows that you had the most to do with that win.
So Bjergsen's 12 vs Jensen's 8 says something. If you look at last split, there were multiple people close to eachother at the top of the list (Someone has 12, 11, 11, 10, 9, 9, etc..). This split Bjergsen has 4 more awards than any other player......
To those saying that Jensen is the only reason C9 is winning games, and throws the team on his back, while that happens sometimes, it's often the other way too.
While Jensen does carry a lot, Sneaky and Contractz are instrumental in sooo many wins as well.
Looking at POG awards: Jensen has 8, Sneaky has 7, Contractz has 5, while on TSM: Bjergsen has 12, followed by his whole team at 5, 5, 4, 4.
While Sneaky has had some really shaky games this split, he's also hard carried a ton as well.
And to answer those saying that Jensen crushed Bjergsen in their second series this split. You are wrong, and should look at PROPER stats before saying wrong stuff.
Here's the CS differences at 20 which is a very telling stat to lane pressure/dominance: G1 (C9 up 500g): Bjerg +24, G2 (TSM up 3k): Jensen +6, G3 (C9 up 3k): Bjergsen +29. The fact that Bjergsen is up more than 20 cs @20 minutes, in two games that their team is behind in gold is actually just ridiculous.
As far as solo kills go, Bjergsen solo killed Jensen in game 1, had two successful roams before Jensen, took Jensen's turret solo while Jensen has his first successful roam, and ended up carrying the game (And receiving POG) while Jensen got caught out of position time after time.
In game 2 and 3, Jensen got an early solo kill on Bjergsen in both games (Good on him, they were pretty impressive kills). BUT Bjergsen still kept up in CS (Game 2), or dominated in CS (Game 3), he still roamed MUCH better than Jensen as a whole across the series, and even though C9 won game 2 and 3, the POG awards went to Sneaky and Contractz respectively who each played a much more definitive role in the win than Jensen. (In game 2 Sneaky's damage was off the charts and he carried teamfights pretty hard, while Jensen and Bjerg's damages were equal, and game 3 Jensen played pretty trash the entire game AFTER his solokill with Lucian and got caught out SO many times).
All in all, Jensen's play style is very much like his flub at the Championship Game 5 between C9 and TSM last split. He's usually a monster in lane and can play mechanically amazing, but his positioning in late game fights needs soooo much work, and his getting caught out has led to many a team loss. He's comparable to a mid lane version of Doublelift.
ALSO considering Bjergsen's shotcalling ability vs Jensen's just puts Bjerg in that whole other tier.
The only reason people were so hyped about those solo kills on Bjergsen is because that is a very rare and impressive feat! But watching the rest of the games showed Bjergsen as a far better player.
And all this isn't even touching on the fact that Jensen tilts much harder when things aren't going well.
I know Bjergsen has won so many MVP's and it would be dope for Jensen to finally get one (Even though he's regarded as one of the most toxic players of all time, used to DDoS people in Solo Queue, and was let into the LCS when facing 3 lifetime bans (Look up the youtube video Infamous League Players - C9 Jensen)), this isn't the split it should happen.
Bjergsen deserves MVP.
Rant = over.
