Team Vitality vs The MongolZ Grand Final Recap
Witnessed by a packed Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the grand battle between two finalists delivered just what everyone wanted. Team Vitality vs The MongolZ, in their final battle for the championship title, treated everyone to three intense CS2 games.
For starters, The MongolZ came out swinging on Mirage, surprising everyone by dominating 13-5. Their young roster showed confidence and fearlessness, proving they weren’t just there to fill a spot. This was their chance to give Asia its first CS2 Major medal, and they certainly intended to take it.
However, Team Vitality had other plans. They bounced back quickly on the second map, playing it smart and sharp. With amazing focus, they evened the series with a 13-4 final score on Dust2. The final map, Inferno, was where their experience made the difference. Vitality built a strong lead early and held off a late push from The MongolZ. Then, they finished the match 13-6 and took their second Major title.
The final Austin Major 2025 results thus showed a 2-1 score, in clear favor of Team Vitality. After maintaining such a strong showing in multiple tournaments year-round, this championship adds to their nearly flawless run.
Grand Final MVP: ZywOo Shines Again
Vitality’s star player, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, was named MVP once more. His calm presence and clutch plays were a big part of the team’s success. But this wasn’t a one-man show. Ropz, mezii, flameZ, and captain apEX all stepped up when needed. Together, they made sure Vitality didn’t rely on just one player.
This balanced effort was key in a final that pushed them to their limits. The MongolZ were tough opponents, but Vitality’s teamwork and leadership carried them through.
Making History: A Season to Remember
Beyond the Austin Major 2025 results, the close grand final series made history for both teams. For Vitality, the winners, it marks their seventh grand final win this year. Their trophy follows others that they claimed from IEM Dallas, Katowice, Melbourne, and more. Their 30-match win streak earlier this year already set them on a path to global dominance. Yet, achieving an unbroken series of tournament wins proved they’re something special.
Meanwhile, even in defeat, The MongolZ achieved something big as the first all-Asian lineup to reach a Major final. Their run through the tournament included wins over strong teams, with confident plays, bold risks, and inspiring resilience. While they failed to take the trophy, they still proved themselves a formidable opponent.
Conclusion
Now that the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 is over, teams will get a short break before heading into the next big event. That would be FISSURE Playground, after which all eyes will be on IEM Cologne, the Cathedral of Counter-Strike. There, Team Vitality will look to continue their winning streak. After their dominant Austin major 2025 results, will any team be able to end their reign?
