Back in January 2025, Team Vitality suffered a painful loss to Eternal Fire at the BLAST Bounty Spring. Exactly three months have passed, and today — April 24 — that loss officially drops off the team’s active record. Since that defeat, Vitality has not lost a single match on LAN, and their winning streak has already become part of Counter-Strike history.
18 Straight LAN Wins — A Historic Run
Vitality right now is:
- IEM Katowice 2025 Champions
- ESL Pro League Season 21 Winners
- BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 Champions
- 18 consecutive LAN victories
This achievement places them in the top 3 longest LAN win streaks in CS history:
- Ninjas in Pyjamas (2012–2013) — 87 wins
- Team Liquid (2019) — 23 wins
- Vitality (2025) — 18 wins (so far)
From Defeat to Domination
Vitality’s last loss came on January 24, 2025, when they fell to Eternal Fire 0–2 (Anubis 9:13, Mirage 11:13). Since then, the team has looked flawless, displaying consistency, sharp aim, and excellent team synergy.
A “Honeymoon Phase,” According to Spirit
Not everyone is convinced this dominance will last. Members of Team Spirit ironically referred to Vitality’s hot streak as a “honeymoon phase,” implying it might just be a temporary surge — a wave of momentum following roster changes or peak form.
However, Vitality is proving otherwise: they’re defeating top-tier opponents, maintaining intensity, and lifting trophies. If this is a honeymoon, it’s a long and very sweet one.
Comparisons to NiP — Not Coincidental
The community has already begun drawing parallels between Vitality 2025 and the legendary NiP 2012–2013 lineup, which went on an 87-match unbeaten run. While Vitality still has a long way to go, the energy feels familiar — structured play, stable leadership, and dominance in every match.
What’s Next?
Vitality continues to perform at the highest level. Up next, they’ll be competing at IEM Dallas 2025 and preparing for the BLAST.tv Austin Major. Greater challenges await, but each win brings them closer to being recognized as one of the greatest teams in CS2 history.
