If you look at Vitality’s HLTV page under results right now, you’ll see about 15 series where they won. In a row. That’s right, Vitality’s on a 15 series winstreak.

It used to be 14, but Aurora wasn’t going to end it and we’re pretty sure we all knew that.

Aurora picked Inferno as first map, but honestly Vitality made it look like it was theirs. With Aurora starting on the T side, flameZ and apEX made banana control look so easy that it almost felt like the Turks were forced to go A every round.

It got so bad that even Vitality started to feel guilty and switched mezii over. When asked about it after the game, we were told it was meant to confuse Aurora into thinking they were playing three B. Diabolical.

In spite of the crowd’s best chants, Turkey was in fact not number one today, and the first map went to Vitality, 13-5.

On the second map, things were eerily similar. This time, instead of forcing Aurora’s T side into a funnel to a full site, Vitality snuck into the gaps of Aurora’s CT side on Nuke. How do you even do that?

We all know Nuke is CT heaven, and yet they made it look like Anubis. Before the fixes.

Even then, Vitality were doing so well you’d think at some point they’d get overconfident. But that’s the thing about Vitality’s CS right now, it’s diligent. Measured. Meticulous.

Even in 5v3s, 4v1s, or any other combination of situations where they had a numerical advantage, it felt like you were watching a regular 5v5 round. Aurora could have one player left, and still, Vitality would choose to go to the other site, just to be safe.

That type of Counter-Strike requires an immense amount of discipline we can only admire - and never replicate.
