Team Vitality reverses to win BLAST.tv Austin Major

French powerhouse Team Vitality defeated Mongolian team The MongolZ 2-1 in the BLAST.tv Austin Major finals, winning the championship and a prize of $500,000.

This is Team Vitality's seventh consecutive championship trophy, and it also marks a significant milestone in their dominance in Counter-Strike 2.

Team Vitality's rise this season began with the signing of super player ropz at the beginning of the year, teaming up with the team's ace ZywOo. Since then, they have swept six major events in succession, including IEM Katowice, ESL Professional League, IEM Melbourne, etc., and won the ESL Grand Slam Season 5 Championship.

So far, Team Vitality has achieved a feat of 30 consecutive wins, and is gradually approaching the 60-game winning streak created by NiP in 2013. At the Austin Major, Team Vitality quickly rebounded after losing to Legacy in the first match of the third stage, winning three consecutive games to enter the playoffs, and defeated Natus Vincere and MOUZ along the way to advance to the finals.

The MongolZ became the biggest dark horse of this tournament. Although they lost the first game, they defeated strong teams such as Team Liquid, Lynn Vision, and G2, becoming the first Asian team in history to enter the Major finals. They were also one of the youngest final lineups, and finally won the runner-up and a prize of 170,000 US dollars.

This victory allowed Team Vitality to lead apEX to win his third Major title, while ZywOo and ropz each won their second title, flameZ and mezii won their first title, with mezii being the first English player to win a Major title. This campaign was not only a continuation of the championship, but also the establishment of the Team Vitality dynasty.
