How much is Vitality's BO3+ winning chain ranked in history?
CS206-29 20:48
Although Vitality's overall winning chain has ended, there is still another extended record.
One of the most prominent imprints in the dominance of Vitality in the first half of the 2025 is the incredible series of victories. Since the defeat to Eternal Fire in the quarterfinals of Blast Bounty Season 1 Finals in mid -January, this international squad won 30 consecutive victories within four months.
However, all good things must end. This impressive series was finally terminated in their launch at Blast.tv Austin Major, when Vitality suddenly collapsed before the opponent was not appreciated-Legacy-in a Best-of-One battle on Map Inferno is full.
The overall series of Vitality was reset after the defeat against Legacy, the winning chain in the Best-of-Three and Bo5 (Best-of-Five) continued to be maintained, as the "apex" Madesclaire's army has won since the Major series. So, how much is this Bo3+ chain ranking compared to previous records?
Up to now, this is the best achievement we have ever seen. Although the legendary 87-0 series of Ninjas In Pyjamas is definitely impressive, most of their victory comes from the Bo1 matches. Therefore, Vitality - the team only played Bo1 at Austin Major for the whole year - there have been many opportunities to surpass the Swedish team record in the Bo3+category.
Behind Vitality and NIP (2012–2013) is Liquid in 2019 - the only team that once had a winning chain of LAN BO3+ reached at least 20 matches. Liquid started his chain in May 2019, lifted the trophy at Dreamhack Dallas 2019, EPL Season 9 Finals, Blast Pro Series Los Angeles, ESL One Cologne, and IEM Chicago before Astralis ended in the semi -final Starladder Berlin Major.
Despite dominating in the period of 2018–2019, Astralis ranked quite low in this list, behind Natus Vincere in the post -Covid, G2 period under Rasmus "hocou" Nielsen (2022–2023) and on par with Faze in the chain of CS2 era. The reason is largely from the higher frequency of the Bo1 during that period, the limited schedule of Astralis in 2019, and a few unexpected "feet" at the peak.
Not only leading with a distinct difference, Vitality is also the only team currently have the opportunity to continue to extend this chain. When IEM Cologne is ahead, promises many BO3 and Bo5 matches, the question is: Vitality will still bring this record chain far away?
