Apex and his teammates have only one title to touch Intel Grand Slam.

Vitality defeated Lotan "⁠spinx⁠" Giladi's Mouz in the ESL Pro League S21 final with an overwhelming victory of 3-0 (Dust2 13-9, Nuke 13-4, Inferno 13-5) to win the second title of the year.

This victory helped Vitality have only one championship to complete the Intel Grand Slam and receive the $ 1,000,000 prize, after they were crowned at Cologne 2024 and Katowice 2025.

The series begins on Dust2, where Vitality started with a tactic with a clear strategy of exploiting point B. This plan has maximized the maximum effect when they constantly attacked Jimi's site "⁠jimpphat⁠" Salo and taken to 9-3, while the Finnish player had only one defeated network in the match.

Mouz gradually regained the game in the second half, but the distance was so great that they could not turn the situation. Vitality took advantage of the half-hearted guns to end the map with a score of 13-9, although Mathieu "⁠zywoo⁠" Herbaut had a performance under strength and reached the rating of less than 0.95 for the third time this year.

Vitality continues to maintain the performance on Nuke, winning early fighting before winning many XVSX situations and discrete guns to take 9-3. The victory in Pistol Round in the second half made their victory only procedures, with the final score of 13-4.

Inferno continued to be Vitality's overwhelming performance, when Mouz was completely inferior to the third map. The confusing decisions on the CT side made Mouz lose many important rounds, causing them to enter the second half with a distance of six rounds. They could not recover later and accepted 13-5 defeats, thereby marking the end of the unbeaten series in EPL finals.

Vitality has only one title to achieve Intel Grand Slam

With a series of 11 consecutive victories and the second title in 2025, Vitality has only one more championship in the next five tournaments to win Intel Grand Slam and a reward of $ 1,000,000.

Their next tournament will be Iem Melbourne.

Dan "⁠apex⁠" Madesclaire said in the interview after the match:

"We have practiced a lot. I have played hard in two consecutive tournaments. The past six months is really not easy, but it is not just the fault of Lotan [Spinx]."

"This is a great team to play with, and I am very happy to have these teammates to prolong my career a little more."

Mouz still has potential despite the failure in the final

Despite losing quickly to Vitality, Mouz's new squad under the guidance of Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin has shown positive signs.

Dennis "⁠sycrone⁠" Nielsen shared after the match:

"It feels like we have lost all the anti-Force-buys. Unfortunately, we cannot deny what we have achieved in the past three months. However, we have not yet reached the highest level."

"Vitality is in incredible form, we need to play at the A-Game level, but today they are completely superior."

Mouz now has two consecutive finals with Spinx and they will hope to bring this performance into Blast Open Lisbon, the tournament will start on Wednesday.
