"let's see how VIT's gonna win today"
Just go watch the other games if vit are that good that doesn't make the rest uninteresting if anything it makes the eventual loss that much more exciting
I mean they deserve it
NaVi keep iM when he is just not it
FaZe is just frozen and friends
MOUZ are auraless bums
Falcons signing one more superstar every half a year just to fail
PARIVISON is jame and dastan with 4 inexperienced kids
Spirit have donk and sh1ro, but the other 3 are bums
Furia are either blazing hot or siberia tundra level of cold
G2 have no superstar
Liquid have ultimate
Meanwhile vitality got mezzi for 600k, flamez for free, ropz for free, zywoo for like 100k, apex pretty much for free.
they didn't evel sell him, he left on a free https://www.hltv.org/news/40646/faze-release-ropz
vit are just winning everything there is NO roster itw that can win a bo3 and a bo5 against them
same was said about astralis in 2018-2019, navi in 2021, sk in 2016, fnatic in 2015. they are not immortal, second half of 2025 proves it. spirit won against them, g2 won against them, furia, navi came really close in budapest groups, falcons won against them. And the viewership of CS is good, 1.5 mil for the entirety of budapest major playoffs, (vct champs only had 1.5 mil on nrg vs fnatic grand final). Yeah I know it's without asia, but both games are in a good state. if navi get frozen they have a chance. a possible kyousuke-donk-monesy trio with a good supporting cast wins against them. Vitality are good, but the history of CS states there is no perfect team
people were telling me a mongolz team who LOST TO AURORA and a FURIA that fell the fuck off are the favs to win the major
Because FURIA won the two events right before the major where vitality were also present? Literally smacked vitality's ass 3-0 in Chengdu? 2-1'd them in Hong Kong? mongolz were never a favourite to win the major, in budapest it was spirit, falcons, furia, vitality.
falcons and spirit matched against each other so it was -1 for vitality to face.
furia got hard counter stratted by navi on the other end of the bracket. Legit just turned off molodoy on train, just didn't allow him to play.
spirit faced a fucking historical meltdown
Vitality aren't the best because they are invincible. They are the best because they pound on their opponent's misfortunes or force them. This happened so many times I am too lazy to count them, but just to name a few, IEM Melbourne 2025 (falcons 12-6 lead on map 5), FURIA choking to NaVi in Budapest, Spirit handing vitality mirage on the silver platter in budapest 2025
#4, point about FURIA is there, this roster is capable of this https://www.hltv.org/matches/2387414/vitality-vs-furia-iem-chengdu-2025 https://www.hltv.org/matches/2387545/furia-vs-vitality-blast-rivals-2025-season-2
if one game dictates the level of the team, then okay, I expect vitality's era to end to legacy or someone like this
We already had short NiP, fnatic, Luminosity/SK era, then glorious Astralis era and now its Vitality. tf u yapping cs gonna die
nah, there are some people on hltv who share this take. mostly new fans who like the concept of an ''undefeated team''. what if apex just retires because he doesn't feel the joy of winning. or mezzi focuses on his family? simply yet, what if zywoo enters s1mple 2023 or device 2021 phase and just becomes worse? Not 1.4 rating, 1.2?
apex is NOT retiring
idk what's the situation with mezzi and his family
zywoo is NOT entering a s1mple 2023 phase, he is getting 1.3 rating minimum
The thing is, you just try to be all doom and gloom saying cs will die because of vitality's era, but sports can't really be predicted. I simply admire and respect vitality for what they do, but sooner or later this will end. The strongest team of all time ended their run at 3 majors in a row, there is a chance vitality match them, outdo them or fall even in cologne. I am not a fan of vitality, I am a fan of navi, but I think this domination is good because it shows the entire scene that good management >>> money
stop talking about another esport on the forum ge
t the off
nobody plays cs everyone watches cuz you cant play if there is a hacker in every game
vit are miles above anyone else, but there's still alot of competition b/w other teams. you don't know who would defeat who
