Why Team Vitality Won CS2 Team of the Year

Two CS2 Major Titles in One Season

Vitality’s case for Team of the Year was built primarily on their two Major championship victories in CS2, an achievement that places them among the rarest elite in Counter-Strike history. Winning multiple Majors in a single season has long been considered the gold standard of team dominance.

Consistent World No.1 Contenders

Throughout the year, Vitality remained a permanent fixture at the top of international rankings, frequently occupying first place in global CS2 standings and consistently reaching the final stages of S-tier LAN tournaments.

ZywOo’s MVP Impact

Superstar AWPer ZywOo once again played a decisive role in Vitality’s success. His Major MVP performances and statistical leadership reinforced his reputation as one of the greatest Counter-Strike players of all time and a cornerstone of Vitality’s system.

Leadership and Tactical Depth

In multiple interviews during the season, players highlighted the strategic preparation and in-game leadership of captain apEX, emphasizing structured T-sides, strong mid-round calling, and disciplined team play under pressure.

Player and Organization Reactions

Vitality players repeatedly described the 2025 season as the culmination of long-term development rather than a single hot streak. In interviews during Major playoffs, members of the roster stressed preparation, trust, and execution as the team’s defining strengths.

The organization itself framed the year as a landmark era, emphasizing the scale of achievements across international events and the importance of sustaining excellence rather than chasing isolated victories.

How the Competition Fell Short

Team Spirit — Strong but Inconsistent

Team Spirit finished second in the fan vote. Despite roster instability and multiple lineup changes, Spirit remained competitive at the highest level and captured several notable trophies. However, the lack of Major titles ultimately limited their case for the top spot.

FURIA — Late Surge, Not Enough

FURIA Esports impressed with a powerful late-season run and multiple LAN victories, but their strongest results came after Vitality had already secured their defining achievements of the year.
