Team Vitality has won ESL Pro League Season 22, successfully defending the ESL Pro League Season 21 title it won in March.
The French esports organisation swept aside Team Falcons 3-0 in the Grand Final to secure its first Counter-Strike 2 tournament win in four months.
Team Vitality’s Road To Victory
Team Vitality’s ESL Pro League campaign began with a surprise 2-0 defeat to Gentle Mates in Stage 2. Despite the opening loss, the team bounced back in clinical fashion, scoring 2-0 sweeps over GamerLegion, HOTU, and G2 Esports to secure a place in the Playoff bracket.
In the quarter-finals, FURIA managed to strike first with an opening win on Overpass before Team Vitality responded with strong defensive showings on Inferno and Nuke to best the Brazilian organisation and advance to the semi-final.
The semi-final against FaZe Clan was another hotly contested battle between two powerhouse rosters. FaZe Rain’s last dance looked to continue, emerging victorious on Mirage with a 22-20 scoreline to put Team Vitality on the back foot.
However, the French organisation responded with a strong offensive strategy, taking Inferno and Dust II to secure another appearance in a Tier 1 Grand Final.
A match against a Team Falcons side finding its feet looked to be a tantalising prospect, but a standout performance from Shahar ‘flameZ‘ Shushan on Inferno and Train set the ball rolling to round off the series on Dust II with a convincing 13-5 scoreline.
What Next For Team Vitality CS2?
Following the defence of its ESL Pro League title, Team Vitality won’t be in action until early November, when the organisation heads to China to compete at IEM Chengdu 2025, one of the final Tier 1 events before attention turns to the StarLadder Budapest Major.
Pro League victory marks Team Vitality’s eighth tournament win of 2025, adding yet another accolade to its expanding collection.
