Under the leadership of MVP Mathieu “zywOo” Herbaut, Team Vitality won the BLAST Open Spring 2025 in Lisbon with a resounding victory. After an outstanding tournament run, the esports powerhouse defeated MOUZ in the grand final, solidifying its position at the top of the Counter-Strike globe. Team Vitality has already won three major championships in 2025, including the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice and the ESL Pro League Season 21.
Team Vitality established the competition’s tone right away. They had a perfect record, not dropping a single map during the Group Stages, which helped them advance to the playoffs. Their confidence increased as they advanced, and they proved their ability to bounce back under duress when they defeated Team Spirit in a close 2-1 series in the playoffs. They astonished their opponents with a perfect 13-0 victory on Inferno in the grand final versus MOUZ, demonstrating their continuous supremacy.
Despite a strong comeback from MOUZ, who took victories on Mirage and Dust II, Team Vitality held their ground. In a thrilling Map 4 on Nuke, they clinched a 13-7 victory to level the series at 2-2. The final map, TRAIN, was a nail-biting affair, but Team Vitality’s unwavering determination saw them finish on top, securing a 13-7 win and the BLAST Open Spring 2025 title.
The team’s performance is a testament to their continued excellence in 2025. Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut clinched his 23rd MVP title, solidifying his position as one of Counter-Strike’s greatest players. Furthermore, Team Vitality’s 16 consecutive victories in 2025 have them on track to surpass some of the greatest teams in the history of the sport, including Astralis in 2018-2019 and FaZe in late 2023.
Looking ahead, Fabien “Neo” Devide, Chairman and Co-founder of Team Vitality, emphasized the team’s commitment to continuing their ascent. “Congratulations to this exceptional team that continues its rise to new heights. Since the arrival of ropz, we have crossed a crucial threshold, and the team has grown even stronger. Today, our focus is firmly set on Melbourne and the Austin Major. These two international competitions will be key milestones in our pursuit of establishing ourselves as the leading force in the global Counter-Strike scene.”
As they approach key tournaments, including the IEM Melbourne, where they aim for the ESL Grand Slam Season 5, Team Vitality’s ambition is clear: to solidify their legacy as the best team in the Counter-Strike world.
