Vitality have won their fourth ESL Pro League title. On Sunday, October 11, the French organization swept MOUZ 3-0 in the Season 24 grand final, adding another international Counter-Strike 2 trophy to their collection. The final took place in Katowice, Poland.

Vitality previously won ESL Pro League Seasons 16, 21, and 22. Their latest victory marks their seventh tournament title of 2026 and their second in a row, following their StarLadder StarSeries Fall triumph in September.

Vitality Sweep MOUZ in the Grand Final

Vitality went undefeated in series throughout the tournament. They opened the Swiss stage with a 2-0 victory over 1win, followed by 2-1 wins against Natus Vincere and Falcons.

With a perfect 3-0 series record, Vitality advanced directly to the playoffs. They swept PARIVISION 2-0 in the quarterfinals before defeating Aurora 2-1 in the semifinals to set up the championship clash with MOUZ.

The best-of-five grand final ended in a clean sweep, with MOUZ unable to take a single map. Vitality fell behind 5-1 on Cache but recovered before halftime and completed the comeback to win 13-8.

Inferno was a more straightforward affair for Dan "apEX" Madesclaire and his teammates. Vitality raced to a 7-1 lead and closed out the map 13-7, moving one map away from the championship.

Dust2 proved to be the closest contest of the series. MOUZ had three chances to close out the map, but Vitality forced overtime. The French squad then pulled away to win 16-12, completing the 3-0 sweep and securing their fourth ESL Pro League crown.

Watch the moment Vitality sealed the championship:

ZywOo Named ESL Pro League Season 24 MVP

Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut also left Katowice with another individual award. The French star was named the ESL Pro League Season 24 MVP, earning his sixth MVP medal of 2026 and the 34th of his career.

ZywOo finished the tournament with 270 kills across 16 maps, a +114 kill differential, and a 1.44 rating. He was even more impressive in the grand final against MOUZ, recording 64 kills and a 1.65 rating across the three maps to help Vitality secure the sweep.

Vitality's next scheduled tournament is PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, set to begin on October 24 in Romania.
