Another victory over NAVI and yet another title for Vitality, the team secured a new trophy by defeating the “Born to Win” squad without dropping a single map:

  • Nuke (Vitality pick) — 16:12
  • Anubis (NAVI pick) — 13:11
  • Dust2 (Vitality pick) — 13:3

Vitality have now claimed their fifth consecutive tournament title this year. To match their record from last season, they only need to win two more events — IEM Atlanta 2026 and the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The team is also currently on a streak of 15 consecutive map wins in Grand Finals. The last time they lost a map in a final was against FURIA at IEM Krakow 2026, and since then they haven’t dropped a single map in any final.

ZywOo was also named the tournament MVP, earning his 32nd MVP medal, which makes him the most decorated player in Counter-Strike history in terms of MVP awards.

As a reminder, team Vitality have announced the creation of an academy roster, with a Ukrainian player as the captain
