G2 Crowned Champions of BLAST Open London 2025 after 3:2 Victory over Vitality

The grand final between G2 and Vitality turned into a thrilling five-map battle, with G2 ultimately securing the championship title after a hard-fought 3:2 win.

On the opening map, Dust 2, G2 immediately seized control and closed out the game in dominant fashion with a crushing 13:3 scoreline. The only highlight for Vitality was an epic ACE from ZywOo, but it wasn’t enough to stop their opponents’ momentum.

The second map, Mirage, marked the beginning of a comeback for Vitality. Once again, ZywOo stole the spotlight, delivering another ACE and finishing the map with an incredible 30-6 record, including a flawless run on the T side. Vitality took the map confidently, 13:6.

On Overpass, Vitality maintained their control. Despite a 6:6 tie in the first half, they dominated after the side switch, winning seven rounds in a row and leaving G2 without a single round on the T side, closing the map 13:6.

Inferno became the turning point of the series. After an even 6:6 start, G2 ramped up the pressure, pushed the game into overtime, and completely dominated in the extra rounds, taking the win 16:12 and keeping their championship hopes alive.

The decisive map, Train, began with a spectacular pistol round ACE from HeavyGod, which set the tone for the rest of the game. G2 wrapped up the first half 8:4 and never lost control, finishing the map 13:6 and sealing their championship run.

The final will be remembered for its dramatic swings: G2’s crushing start on Dust 2, ZywOo’s phenomenal performance on Mirage and Overpass, G2’s resilience on Inferno, and HeavyGod’s decisive impact on Train.
