The series kicked off on Inferno, where their flawless execution earned them a 13-0 victory, marking the first time a team has won a map by that margin in a Big Event grand final. Dan "apEX" Madesclaire orchestrated a masterclass in strategy, completely outmaneuvering Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin and his squad.
MOUZ, however, refused to back down. They struck back on Mirage, fueled by an incredible performance from Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, who dismantled former teammates with a dominant 19-6 K-D in the first half. With Brollan leading a well-executed T-side, MOUZ secured a 13-8 win to level the series.
Dust2 saw a temporary shift in momentum, as Vitality regained control with a 7-5 lead at halftime. However, Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo’s clutch plays kept MOUZ in contention. Brollan’s sharp calling and another strong showing from Spinx helped MOUZ grind out a hard-fought 13-11 victory, snapping Vitality nine-map winning streak on the map and giving MOUZ their first series lead.
But just as MOUZ started to believe, Vitality roared back on Nuke. They stormed to a commanding 9-3 lead in the first half and managed to close it out 13-9 despite MOUZ”s late-game resistance, setting up a decisive final map on Train.
With both teams boasting undefeated records on Train, the grand final came down to one last battle. MOUZ once again claimed both pistol rounds but struggled to convert them into a meaningful advantage. Vitality, led by the unstoppable duo of Shahar "flameZ" Shushan and Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut, overwhelmed MOUZ with relentless aggression, sealing a dominant 13-7 victory.
Ever since ropz joined the squad, Vitality has transformed into a nigh invincible team. They might not have officially entered their own era yet, but their dominance is making it hard to argue otherwise. With three straight titles and just one more needed for the ESL Grand Slam, they are inching closer to cementing their legacy. However, unlike their previous meeting with MOUZ, where Vitality cruised to victory, this time they had to battle tooth and nail to maintain their reign, which many take as chinks showing up in their armor.
