In the Grand Final itself, Peacemaker analyzes the BO5 map flow and explains how FaZe\u2019s strong start on Nuke briefly shifted momentum before Vitality quickly reset and took over the series. He highlights Vitality\u2019s dominance on Dust2 and Overpass, crediting their superior T-side fundamentals, space creation, and mid-round decision-making. Individual performances, particularly Mezii\u2019s impact on Inferno and ZywOo\u2019s overall consistency, are framed in the context of team play rather than raw statistics.<\/p>\n

Concluding the breakdown, Peacemaker stresses that Vitality\u2019s victory was not about individual firepower alone, but about structure, preparation, and experience in long series. Their map pool depth, tactical discipline, and ability to recover after losses ultimately secured a 3\u20131 win and back-to-back Major titles, reinforcing Vitality\u2019s status as the best team in the world at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
