In a resounding display of skill and strategy, Vitality emerged victorious in the BLAST Premier World Final, sealing their triumph with a comprehensive win over FaZe in Abu Dhabi.
The clash of titans, marking their sixth encounter in 2023 as the top two teams in the world, witnessed Vitality triumph for the fifth time, firmly establishing their dominance.
The grand final unfolded on Inferno (13-5) and Nuke (13-7), with Dan “apEX” Madesclaire leading his squad to a second consecutive triumph over CS2’s early formidable side.
Despite a 3-3 start on Inferno, Vitality swiftly seized control on the defending side, surging to an 8-4 lead at halftime. The standout performance came from Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, reaffirming his status as the player to watch. A formidable 1.59 Rating on the map, punctuated by a four-kill round, left FaZe reeling at 13-5.
In the post-match glow, in-game leader Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam declared, “apEX is the best in-game leader in the world, no contest at all.” The testament reflected Vitality’s prowess on both attacking sides. On Nuke, after securing a 7-5 lead on the CT side, they clinched victory by claiming six out of eight rounds on the attack, sealing a sweeping 13-7 triumph.
ZywOo continued to shine, boasting a staggering 1.79 Rating and delivering multiple highlights, including a 1vs2 triple, as the map and series concluded.
