TheBLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Grand Final.

Vitality on the brink of fulfilling their destiny. The MongolZ chasing immortality.

Everything led to this moment.

Kicking things off on Mirage, Vitality came out swinging, racing to a commanding 3-0 start that hinted at total control. However, The MongolZ rallied, flipping the script behind a cold 1v2 clutch from Techno4K and the trademark firepower that defines their squad.

As The MongolZ’ confidence surged, so did their momentum. Led by 910’s brilliance, they took firm control of the second half, keeping Vitality completely at bay.

In the end, they closed out the map with a convincing 13-5 score, making a strong statement to start the series.

Honestly, we’re not even sure what happened.

The Mongolian squad dismantled Vitality in a way no team had managed until now. They showed that, despite all the pre-match favoritism, they were here to leave everything on the server.

But the battle was far from over, as Vitality refused to go down without a fight.

On the first half of Dust 2, they came out firing, bouncing back from the disastrous Mirage thanks to ropz’s masterful B-site defense and the team’s solid CT execution, powering them to a commanding 9-3 lead.

Shoutout to this sick 1v3 clutch by Senzu, though.

With the power of friendship on their side, Vitality cruised through the second half of Dust 2. The MongolZ could only claim a single round before apEX and co. closed it out with a dominant 13-3 victory.

And just like that, Inferno would settle it all.

It couldn’t have started better for Vitality - on a map that had been a struggle for them this Major, having lost both previous matches.

This time, a strengthened B defense and The MongolZ struggling to close out post-plants helped Vitality push to an early 9-3 lead in the first half.

With the final pistol round in their hands, Vitality wasted no time, securing the map and the Major trophy with a decisive 13-6 win.

For The MongolZ, this run is nothing short of historic - not just for Mongolian Counter-Strike, but for the entire region.

They stood toe-to-toe with one of the most dominant teams in the history of the game, pushing Vitality to the edge in the Grand Final of a Major. The crowds at home - and fans everywhere - are proud of your effort. In our eyes, you’ve already become legends.

But in Austin, eternity called, and Vitality answered.

Years from now, we’ll be telling our children and grandchildren just how unstoppable Vitality were in their era.

An era forged in a way only one game on Earth can. The best f-cking game on Earth.

Counter-Strike.
