Team Vitality Are the Greatest CS2 Team in History, Says apEX After BLAST Rivals 2026 Win

apEX: “Vitality Are the Greatest Team in Counter-Strike History”

Dan Madesclaire, captain of Team Vitality, has boldly declared his roster the greatest team in Counter-Strike history following their dominant victory at BLAST Rivals Spring 2026.

Vitality swept Natus Vincere 3-0 in the grand final, extending their incredible winning streak and securing their fifth consecutive CS2 title.

Vitality Dominate BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 Grand Final

Despite the clean sweep, the match was far from easy. NAVI started strong on Nuke with an 11-0 lead, but Vitality pulled off a remarkable comeback to steal the map and take control of the series.

Grand Final Scoreline:

Nuke: 16–12

Anubis: 13–11

Dust2: 13–3

This victory further cements Vitality’s status as the most dominant team in the current CS2 era, with a historic streak of 27 consecutive playoff map wins and 15 grand final maps in a row in 2026.

ESL Grand Slam Legacy Strengthens GOAT Argument

Team Vitality also made history earlier this year by becoming the first team ever to win two ESL Grand Slams, following their triumph at IEM Rio 2026.

apEX emphasized that this achievement carries more weight than a Major title:

“For me, the ESL Grand Slam is harder to win than a Major, so there is no doubt that we are the best team in history right now.”

This statement fuels ongoing debates within the Counter-Strike community about what defines the greatest team of all time.

ZywOo, ropz, and Vitality Core Continue to Deliver

Mathieu Herbaut once again played a crucial role in the victory, delivering a standout performance on Dust2 to secure the MVP title — even joking that he “robbed” his teammates of the award.

Meanwhile, Robin Kool provided key clutch moments throughout the series, reinforcing Vitality’s depth and consistency.

Fatigue, Pressure, and Relentless Winning

Even amid their dominance, Vitality players admitted the toll of their packed schedule. flameZ noted the team has been “really tired,” while XTQZZZ acknowledged that opponents like NAVI are increasingly motivated to take them down.

Still, Vitality consistently overcome adversity — even entering BLAST Rivals with limited practice — proving their resilience and championship mentality.

What’s Next for Team Vitality?

While apEX believes Vitality have already secured their place as the greatest team in Counter-Strike history, the squad remains focused on future goals — especially the next CS2 Major.

With their current form, consistency, and record-breaking achievements, Vitality are not just dominating CS2 — they are redefining what greatness looks like in competitive Counter-Strike.
