Team Vitality Dismantle MOUZ to Win ESL Pro League Season 21

Team Vitality have claimed the ESL Pro League Season 21 trophy in emphatic fashion, sweeping MOUZ 3-0 in the Grand Final. The match was a one-sided affair, with Vitality taking all three maps without ever looking threatened.

With this victory, Vitality are now just one tournament win away from securing the Intel Grand Slam and the $1,000,000 prize, having already won IEM Cologne 2024 and IEM Katowice 2025.

Team Vitality’s Dominant 3-0 Victory

Vitality swept MOUZ 3-0 in a dominant fashion. On Dust2, relentless B-site attacks earned them a 9-3 T-side lead, with Kimi "Jimpphat" Salo struggling for impact. Despite a MOUZ resurgence, Vitality secured a 13-9 win.

Nuke followed a similar pattern, with Vitality’s early duels and clutch plays leading to a 9-3 halftime lead, closing the map 13-4.

Inferno saw MOUZ collapse under poor CT-side decisions, trailing by six rounds at the halftime. Vitality capitalized, sealing a 13-5 victory and breaking MOUZ’s undefeated EPL final streak.

Robin "ropz" Kool has continued to show his dominance upon joining Vitality, as he was named MVP of the tournament.

While the Grand Final was a bit of a disappointment, MOUZ have proven themselves as serious contenders in recent months. The team has now made two consecutive Grand Final appearances with Lotan "Spinx" Giladi, with the team showing steady improvement under Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin’s leadership.

MOUZ will look to bounce back at BLAST Open Lisbon, starting this Wednesday, March 19th.

Vitality One Step Away from the Intel Grand Slam

Vitality's victory marks their second major title of 2025. Now, they only need to win one of the next five tournaments to secure the Intel Grand Slam, as well as the million-dollar prize. If successful, they will be the fifth-ever team in the history of the Grand Slam to do so.

Their next opportunity comes at IEM Melbourne, where they’ll look to complete their historic run.

Right now, Vitality are the undisputed best team in the world. Their consistency, star power, and strategic depth have made them nearly untouchable. While other teams like Spirit have had flashes of brilliance, Vitality’s sustained dominance sets them apart from the competition.

With BLAST Open Spring 2025 just days away, Vitality’s journey doesn’t stop here. But for now, they can celebrate a well-earned championship, with the tantalizing prospect of Intel Grand Slam glory just around the corner.
