The grand final of BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 1 promises to be a spectacular conclusion to the tournament, as two of the strongest teams in recent months \u2014 Vitality and Falcons \u2014 go head-to-head. Both squads are in solid form, have star-studded rosters, and share a competitive history, most notably from the IEM Melbourne 2025 final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitality enter the match riding an incredible win streak, while Falcons are fueled by the motivation to take revenge. In this preview, we analyze team form, player stats, map pool, and the chances each team has of lifting the trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Current Form<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vitality<\/b><\/p>\n

Vitality are at the peak of their form: over the past three months, they\u2019ve played 56 maps and won 48. Their 24-match win streak is a new CS2 record, surpassing Team Liquid\u2019s 2019 mark of 23 wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past month, Vitality claimed the title at IEM Melbourne and are now confidently marching toward another at BLAST Rivals 2025. At this event, they\u2019ve already defeated Wildcard, MOUZ, and Spirit \u2014 and they hold a perfect 5-0 record in recent matches against Falcons, The MongolZ, MOUZ, Wildcard, and Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falcons<\/b><\/p>\n

Falcons also boast a strong stat line: 90 maps played, 54 wins over the last three months. They won BGL Bucharest 2025 and made a deep run at IEM Melbourne, nearly beating Vitality in the final but narrowly losing 2-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve won 4 of their last 5 matches, including two against MOUZ, and one each versus Spirit and FaZe. The only recent loss came in the Melbourne final \u2014 now, they get a shot at redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Individual Player Form \u2014 Who Can Decide the Series?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both teams feature top-tier snipers, who could play a decisive role in the final. m0NESY has been in consistent form with a 1.32 rating, but still trails slightly behind ZywOo, who boasts a 1.43 rating \u2014 one of the highest of the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

NiKo continues to show excellent form, combining precise aim with clutch composure, reflected in his 1.26 rating. Don\u2019t overlook ropz either \u2014 with a 1.24 rating, he\u2019s delivered some truly jaw-dropping individual plays. These four players could be game-changers \u2014 from map control to critical 1vX moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Map Pool Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 1 Grand Final between Falcons and Vitality promises a thrilling clash, where the map veto will play a crucial role. In a bo5 format, each team bans one map, picks two, and the last remaining map becomes the decider.<\/span><\/p>\n

First Ban:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitality are expected to ban Ancient first \u2014 a map they consistently avoid and where they\u2019ve shown little confidence. Falcons, on the other hand, will likely remove Anubis, their most frequent ban throughout the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Map Picks:<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitality will almost certainly pick Inferno, where they boast a perfect 100% win rate across 12 games. Their second pick is likely to be Dust2, another stronghold with an impressive 82% win rate in 10 matches. These two maps form the backbone of Vitality\u2019s game plan and will be key weapons in the final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falcons, known for targeting their opponent\u2019s weak spots, are expected to go with Mirage (where they hold a 75% win rate) \u2014 a map Vitality rarely prioritizes. Their second pick could well be Train, a less-played map by Vitality and one where Falcons might look to catch them off guard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decider:<\/span><\/p>\n

The final map will likely be Nuke \u2014 a strong map for Vitality with an 82% win rate over 11 games, but Falcons are not strangers to it either. If the series goes the distance, Nuke will test the resilience and depth of both teams.<\/span><\/p>\n
