CS2: Team Vitality maintain top spot in Valve rankings
Team Vitality have solidified their dominance in the CS2 scene, retaining the number one position on Valve's regional standings (VRS) for a third consecutive month.
team-vitality16With 2124 points as of June 2025, Vitality remain the team to beat, staying ahead of MOUZ (1922), Team Spirit (1905), Falcons (1888), and The MongolZ (1790).
Their latest triumph came at IEM Dallas 2025, where they cruised past MOUZ with a commanding 3-0 victory, sweeping Dust II, Mirage, and Inferno. The win netted them 125,000 dollars and reaffirmed their elite status ahead of a packed summer schedule.
Earlier this year, Vitality also claimed the coveted ESL Grand Slam, securing four top-tier ESL titles within a 12-month period and pocketing a one-million-dollar bonus.
Their current lineup - Dan 'apEX' Madesclaire (captain), Mathieu 'ZywOo' Herbaut, Shahar 'flameZ' Shushan, William 'mezii' Merriman, and Robin 'ropz' Kool - continues to perform at the highest level under the guidance of coach Rémy 'XTQZZZ' Quoniam.
Looking ahead, Team Vitality have been invited to the $1 million IEM Cologne 2025, set to begin on 27 July. Only the top 24 teams on the VRS qualify, with FlyQuest narrowly edging Lynn Vision by a single point to claim the final spot.
They are also set to compete in the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, which features the top 15 VRS teams alongside TYLOO, winners of the Asian Champions League.
