All those who actively follow the world of e-sport could not escape the real yellow and black tsunami which continues to surge on Counter-Strike 2. It’s very simple: since the release of the new version of the legendary Valve FPS, and a fortiori since the integration of the Estonian Prodigy Ropz at the start of the year, the French team walks on the water. With shovel titles during events more prestigious than the other – especially at the Katowice IEM, Melbourne and Dallas – Vitality has simply become the team to beat.
Unsurprisingly, she therefore arrived in a big favorite under the Texan sun. But his new adventure began with a small course accident: a defeat against Legacy, a modest Brazilian team … which nevertheless succeeded in putting an end to the incredible series of 30 consecutive victories (!) Yellows and blacks.

A new major and seven consecutive victories
But it was only awarded. Visibly scalded by this setback, Vitality promptly demolished Nemiga, 3Dmax and Virtus.Pro, before winning against Navi, Mouz, and finally Mongolz in the final, to win … A Seventh victory in a consecutive tournament. An undivided domination which, according to the leader of the team, Dan “Apex” Madesclaire, leaves no doubt about the status of the team – even if we are only half the season.
« Seven trophies in seven tournaments, what more could you ask for? Guys, you can already see the best team of 2025. It’s folded! “He exclaimed in an post-match interview cited by hltv.org.
The latter also has every reason to be proud. To re -situate the context: at the beginning of his endless career, which has already lasted since 2009, Apex was often died for his lack of discipline, consistency and shooting address, and many predicted a fairly poor career. But everything changed when he arrived at Vitality in 2020.
Apex in legend
To everyone’s surprise, he was promoted to the playmaker, or IGL (for in-game leader) – A position which, according to some observers, did not seem frankly to suit him. But he was quick to make his detractors lie. Year after year, it has established itself as a End strategist, and especially as a leading leader, inexhaustible, charismatic, at will and great architect of a system that is both flexible and ultra-performer which never ceases to crush the competition.
The Major of Austin was also a perfect condensed of this new apex. Between inspired calls and flanks surgical, the captain has splashed the competition of his classalongside Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut – the French prodigy, who continues to strengthen his status as Best player of all time. The latter has also recovered a new MVP title: its 27ᵉ in total, and its seventh in 2025… for the moment.
To top it off, Apex even proved that he was able to ensure the rear of his teammates when the group’s little genius experienced a very rare drop in regime in the final. Between his tactical leadership more relentless than ever, her fire temperament and his insolent address, all punctuated by a myriad of sequences clutch At will, he signed a anthology match. The perfect recipe to snatch the third major from his career-a feat that only eight other players, including five members of the legendary Astralis Roster, can claim the history of the E-Sport discipline.
More than ever, Vitality embodies excellence on CS2. And if the season is only half started, one thing already seems acquired: the French team will remain the team to beat in 2025. See you next July for the IEM in Cologne, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the circuit, for the next episode of this French video game.
