A Victory Built on Consistency
Vitality’s run at IEM Dallas 2025 was defined by one thing above all: consistency. With this win, Vitality have now gone undefeated in 30 consecutive maps across tournaments. That kind of streak isn’t just impressive—it’s the longest win streak recorded since CS2 was released.
All eyes now turn to the Austin Major, where Vitality will look to extend their winning streak and turn their current form into another championship. If they maintain this level of performance, there’s every reason to believe the Austin Major trophy could already be within reach.
