The young MOUZ outfit goes head-to-head against juggernauts Vitality yet again in the IEM Dallas 2025 final.
Just two teams remain at IEM Dallas 2025 as championship Sunday arrives. MOUZ will take on Vitality in what is set to be another banger final, with the game acting as an interlude to the BLAST Austin Major.
The action kicks off later today, May 25. Who will take home the goods in the latest chapter in CS2's newest rivalry?
MOUZ aim to put an end to godlike Vitality streak: Preview
Head-to-head (2025): Vitality 12-3 (5-0 series)
Last meeting: Vitality 2-1 (9-13, 13-9, 13-8) @ BLAST Rivals 2025
Top players @ IEM Dallas: torzsi (1.43), Spinx (1.36), Jimpphat (1.21), ZywOo (1.19)
The end of the season is upon us and with it comes a select group of teams that are consistently finding themselves in the hunt for the trophies.
No stranger to the winners podium is Vitality; how much more dominant can a team be in an esport? The squad has now won an inconceivable 29 series in a row following their narrow escape against Falcons yesterday.
Vitality's biggest guns being absent from the top individual charts at IEM Dallas only reinforces how tough they are to beat. On any given day you'll get your Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut carry job or a Robin "ropz" Kool masterclass — but right now, all five Vitality players are at their peaks.

That said, MOUZ's individuals are looking unstoppable themselves in Dallas. Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás on paper is the best player at the event by leaps and bounds leading in six major stats including kill differential, multi-kill rounds, and AWP kills per round.
Teammates Lotan "Spinx" Giladi (1.36) and Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo (1.21) both clock in ahead of Vitality's best ZywOo. The individuals are firing for MOUZ, and even though they did it tough against The MongolZ in the semi-final, they are well-placed to break their duck against Vitality for the year.
The Hornets' 29-series win streak includes five MOUZ scalps, one of which was the 3-2 win in the grand final at BLAST Open Lisbon. There, Vitality opened the series with a 13-0 on Inferno; a map MOUZ is yet to drop in Dallas.
It's assumed we'll be seeing Inferno again in the grand final, and if MOUZ want to knock Vitality off their perch, you would think they'd need to push the French org to the edge at the very least on the map.
Can MOUZ finally break through the unstoppable force that is Vitality? Or will apEX's men march undefeated into the Austin Major as the heaviest favorites of all time? You won't want to miss this final which kicks off 3pm EDT today!
