Vitality won MOUZ in IEM Dallas 2025 Grand Final, Claim Fifth Straight Title
Vitality have done it again. In a dominant 3-0 sweep over MOUZ in the IEM Dallas 2025 grand final, the reigning Grand Slam champions have now claimed the first title of the new Grand Slam season. Their fifth consecutive big-event victory comes just weeks before the Austin Major 2025, setting a high bar for the rest of the field.
Vitality took Dust2, Mirage, and Inferno with controlled precision, never allowing MOUZ to find their rhythm. The series didn’t even reach map four, as Nuke and Train were left untouched.
ZywOo once again proved why he's considered the best in the world, earning the Player of the Match title with a monstrous 1.52 rating, 99.6 ADR, and 82.1% KAST across the series. Vitality’s core showed up across the board, with ropz and mezii stepping up in key moments, including a highlight-worthy 1v2 clutch by mezii and a clean ACE from ZywOo.
It’s hard not to wonder—after closing the last Grand Slam season and immediately starting the new one with another trophy—are Vitality about to dominate two Grand Slams back-to-back? One thing is certain: they are peaking at exactly the right time.
Here’s how the players stacked up in the final:
