|content=[[Companies/Team Vitality|Team Vitality]] has reaffirmed its position as a powerhouse in the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) competitive scene with a commanding 3-0 win over MOUZ in the Grand Final of Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Dallas 2025. The event, hosted at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Texas, saw Vitality capture the trophy and a $125,000 share of the $300,000 prize pool.

Led by superstar AWPer Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut, who earned his 26th MVP award, Vitality delivered a flawless performance in the final. The French squad avenged their runner-up finish at last year’s tournament with a clean sweep that demonstrated both resilience and tactical superiority.

Despite having limited preparation following their recent victory at BLAST Rivals earlier in May, Vitality wasted no time in asserting dominance. The team breezed through the group stage with wins over Legacy and GamerLegion, securing a spot in the playoffs. A decisive win over MongolZ in the quarterfinals advanced them to a semifinal clash against Team Falcons.

In a rematch filled with tension, Team Falcons managed to take a map off Vitality. However, Vitality kept their composure and sealed the series in three maps, punching their ticket to the Grand Final.

In the championship match against MOUZ, Vitality started slow on Dust II but pulled off a dramatic comeback, overturning an 8-11 deficit to win 13-11. The momentum carried over to Mirage, where they secured a 13-9 victory, and ultimately closed the series on Inferno with a 13-8 scoreline.

With this latest triumph, Team Vitality not only secures one of the season's most prestigious titles but also strengthens its grip on the global CS2 rankings. Already sitting atop the VRS standings earlier this month, the wins at BLAST Rivals and IEM Dallas mark a dominant stretch for the squad in 2025.
