Vitality’s Winning Streak: 5 Tournaments in a Row

Vitality wins BLAST Rivals with unmatched consistency, continuing a streak that has seen them rise to the top of the CS2 scene. Their victory at BLAST Rivals marks the fifth consecutive win for the French esports organisation, making them an undeniable force in the world of competitive gaming. They defeated Team Falcons, a Saudi Arabian organisation, in the Grand Final, continuing the success they achieved just a week earlier at Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Melbourne.

The Battle at BLAST Rivals

The BLAST Rivals Grand Final offered fans an intense clash between two powerhouse teams. Team Falcons initially shocked the esports world by breaking Team Vitality’s 16-match win streak with a victory on Inferno, finishing the map with a 13-9 scoreline. However, Team Vitality quickly regained their dominance, winning Dust2 and Train both with a commanding 13-6 score.

The tension ramped up when Team Falcons took a massive 12-3 lead on Mirage. Despite a heroic effort from Vitality, including forcing overtime, it was Team Falcons’ clutch performance—especially a 1v2 play by m0NESY—that helped them secure the map.

However, Team Vitality’s resilience shone through in the decisive final match on Nuke. The dynamic duo of Robin ‘ropz’ Kool and Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut led the charge, with ZywOo earning the MVP award for the tournament. Their 44 kills between them were crucial in closing out the series with a 13-8 score, giving Vitality the victory and adding another title to their growing collection.

Vitality’s Unstoppable Streak and $125,000 Prize

With this victory, Vitality not only extended their remarkable win streak to 25 matches, but they also placed themselves just behind Ninjas in Pyjamas’ legendary 60-0 streak, the longest in CS2 history.

In addition to the prestige of winning the tournament, Vitality took home a hefty prize of $125,000 (approximately £94,516), alongside two Tokens from the Frequent Flyers Program (FFP). This program, designed by BLAST, features an additional $2 million prize pool split between participating teams. With this win, Vitality now leads the standings with six points, closely followed by Team Spirit at four.

A Record-Breaking Tournament with Massive Viewership

The BLAST Rivals Final was an absolute spectacle, attracting over 1 million viewers according to data from Esports Charts. This makes it the second most-watched BLAST event, only trailing the BLAST Paris Major, which had an audience of 1,528,724. The growing popularity of CS2 esports continues to rise, and Vitality’s victory adds yet another chapter to their already impressive story.
