Vitality Overcome Falcons Again in Another Thrilling Final at BLAST Rivals 2025
3490At this point, we might as well start calling this era “The Vitality Years.” The French-led squad pulled off yet another clutch grand final victory, this time outlasting Falcons 3-2 in a brutal five-map series at BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 1. If you're still doubting whether this team is the final boss of CS2 right now, this match should set things straight.
What makes this even more interesting is how Falcons keep knocking on the door. This was their second straight finals appearance, and with m0NESY added to the lineup, they’re no longer just flashy—they're dangerous.
Vitality are the final boss for Falcons, and they’re not ready to give up the throne just yet.
ZywOo is still the king, and with this win, he collected the 25th MVP medal of his career. You could feel his presence in every single map—whether it was his triple AWP clutch on Mirage or his classic pistol dominance on Nuke, the man’s got ice in his veins.
Final Map Scores (Bo5 - LAN)
| Inferno | 13 - 9 | Falcons |
| Dust2 | 6 - 13 | Vitality |
| Train | 6 - 13 | Vitality |
| Mirage | 16 - 14 (OT) | Falcons |
| Nuke | 8 - 13 | Vitality |
Falcons picked up Inferno early, but couldn’t keep up the pace. After a rough Dust2 and Train, it was m0NESY and TeSeS who dragged them through Mirage, forcing OT. Mirage ended in highlight fashion, with m0NESY’s 1v2 AWP clutch sealing the deal. Unfortunately for Falcons, Nuke saw Vitality lock in with flameZ and ZywOo completely shutting down B-site entries.

| m0NESY | 92-78 | 82.4 | 71.2% | 1.15 |
Even though m0NESY topped the frag chart, it was ZywOo’s impact rating (1.34) and consistency across all five maps that earned him the MVP. ZywOo’s pistol round on Nuke (4 Glock headshots) and that infamous 1v2 bomb clutch on Mirage were peak CS2 performance moments.

| kyxsan | 59-77 | 68.1 | 72.1% | 0.91 |
| NiKo | 68-84 | 70.8 | 74.8% | 0.90 |
Vitality are making their case as the defining team of the current CS2 era. Their coordination, structure, and star power are unmatched right now. But Falcons are rising fast. With m0NESY clicking into gear and NiKo leading the charge, this rivalry might just become CS2's main storyline in 2025.
This isn't just another Vitality win—it's a warning. If you want the throne, come and take it.
Should we start calling this the Vitality era? It’s hard to argue otherwise.
