Vitality became one of the top 3 teams with the longest wins at lan tournaments in CS history
The French organization Vitality has written its name in the history of Counter-Strike, becoming one of the three teams with the longest winning streak in lan tournaments. After a confident victory over Mouz in the final of BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, and two wins at IEM Melbourne 2025, the team extended its win streak to 18 matches in a row, beating Luminosity (15) and tying with FaZe (18).
Record streak in the CS2 era
All 18 wins were achieved on the lan scene during the Counter-Strike 2 era, which emphasizes the strength of Vitality in the new version of the game. Their journey began with the title at IEM Katowice 2025, continued with a triumph at ESL Pro League S21, and now, after Lisbon, they have won three consecutive tournaments without a single defeat.
In each tournament, Vitality showed a stable game, dominated the superteam maps and repeatedly helped out thanks to ZywOo 's clutches, ropz 's smart play and flameZ 's flexibility.
New lineup, new style
The team, which is currently showing record-breaking form, has gathered players from different countries and styles. The roster includes:
apEX (captain)
ZywOo (star AWPer)
mezii (a mainstay and statistical leader in some series)
flameZ (entry with incredible speed)
ropz (the most recent addition, which significantly added stability to clutches)
After the winter break, Vitality made a bet on upgrades, and this bet worked perfectly. The team hardly ever loses, looks confident on every map, and is considered one of the main contenders for Intel Grand Slam Season 5.
18 wins in a row, but still far from breaking records
Despite all the greatness of the series, the absolute record is still far from being set. Below is the historical context:
Ninjas in Pyjamas - 60 wins (2012-2013)
Liquid - 23 wins (2019)
Vitality - 18 wins (2025)
FaZe - 18 wins (2023)
Astralis - 17 wins (2018-2019)
G2 - 16 wins (2022-2023)
What's next. Match with Falcons and the limit of the possible
Vitality will play their next match at IEM Melbourne 2025, where they will face Team Falcons . However, even if they win the tournament, Vitality 's series will not be able to exceed 22 matches, as the maximum number of matches on the way to the title is 4. So Liquid with their 23 wins will remain ahead, at least at this stage of the season.
Vitality is a prime example of team evolution. Their dominance in 2025 proves that even in the fast-paced environment of CS2 , it is possible to build a successful, stable, and historic team. If the series continues, Vitality can claim the ultimate prize - to become the most dominant team in the CS2 era.
