Unstoppable Vitality run through MOUZ to lift IEM Dallas 2025 title
Vitality's incredible unbeaten run continued as apEX's boys showed no signs of slowing down as they cleaned up MOUZ 3-0 in the Grand Final of IEM Dallas 2025 to pick up their sixth title win of the year and extend their unbeaten streak to 30 games in a row.
Dust2 saw Vitality start their map pick on the T side with them taking a two round lead at the half and they locked in the second pistol before an incredible Jimipphat 1v5 brought MOUZ back into the game. It was MOUZ going 11-8 up on the back of that ace clutch before a ZywOo double at Long gave apEX's boys the momentum. Vitality closed Dust2 on a five-round streak with ropz and ZywOo on top of the scoreboard with 23 and 21 kills respectively as Vitality stole a 13-11 win.

ZywOo continued from right where he left off on Dust2 and impact from the French superstar saw Vitality race away to an 8-1 lead on their pick of Mirage on their CT side. MOUZ could manage just two T round as a 15 kill half from ZywOo powered Vitality to a 10-round CT half. MOUZ's second half pistol saw them fight back to bring it to a two-round game thanks to some clinical retakes before mezii 1v1 against Jimpphat got Vitality on the board. An upgraded pistol buy with one AK saw Vitality hit map point and Vitality made sure to give MOUZ no more chances as they locked in Mirage 13-9 to go 2-0 up in the final. ZywOo was on the top of the scoreboard on Mirage with 25 kills with an ADR of 120.2.
