Vitality Clinch Spot in BLAST Bounty Season 2 LAN Finals with Revenge Over Legacy

Date: August 10, 2025
Event: BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 2 — Online Stage (Round of 16)
Final Score: Vitality 2-0 Legacy (Maps: Mirage 16–12, Dust II 13–8)

Team Vitality, fresh off their reign as Major champions, sealed their place at the upcoming LAN Finals in Malta (August 14–17) with a strong 2‑0 win over Legacy, avenging a dramatic Best-of-One defeat to the Brazilian side at the BLAST.tv Austin Major two months prior .

The maps told a story: Legacy chose Mirage—one of two maps where Vitality fell to MOUZ in Cologne just a week before—but Vitality held firm. They carried their momentum into Dust II, closing the series decisively.

A Bittersweet Rematch: Context from the Austin Major

Their revenge was especially meaningful given the backdrop: in June, at the Austin Major, Legacy pulled off a stunning upset by defeating Vitality 13–3 on Inferno in a Best-of-One. That result halted Vitality’s staggering 30‑match LAN win streak. It was the first series loss for the world No. 1 team since February—and one of their rare defeats in 2025.

Vitality’s flameZ reflected on the streak’s end with resilience:

“It’s a good number… Any superstition can go to hell, who gives a shit!”
He called the loss “a bit of a scare,” but acknowledged the importance of bouncing back, especially since the format protects them from elimination without having to go through a Bo3.

Legacy’s early Major upset also reverberated through the CS2 community—fans turned it into a meme-worthy moment:

“Where were you when Legacy broke Vitality’s 30‑match win streak?” 

What Comes Next

Vitality’s victory now sends them to the Malta LAN Finals alongside other tournament heavyweights like Spirit (Cologne champions), MOUZ, and The MongolZ (Austin runners-up).

With their blend of experience, depth, and a chip on their shoulder from that Major loss, Vitality are poised to be a formidable contender in Malta’s BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals.
