While the spotlight often fell on ZywOo and ropz, flameZ provided stability, pace, and entry impact throughout the year. Vitality\u2019s early results confirmed the team\u2019s potential. Even when individual numbers dipped, flameZ remained effective in space creation and pressure situations.

After a slow debut at BLAST Bounty, flameZ quickly found form at IEM Katowice. He helped Vitality secure their first trophy of the year with a 1.19 rating at the event.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">ESL Pro League and consistent impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At ESL Pro League Season 21, flameZ stepped up in playoffs and earned his first EVP of 2025. Vitality lifted another trophy, and flameZ finished as one of the team\u2019s top performers. That pattern continued through Lisbon, Melbourne, BLAST Rivals, and IEM Dallas. Even when not leading the scoreboard, flameZ delivered crucial rounds and mid-round pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>Major glory and peak moments<\/h3>\n<p>The highlight of flameZ\u2019s season came at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. After a shaky start, Vitality surged through playoffs. flameZ saved his best performance for the grand final, averaging a 1.28 rating and dominating the decisive Inferno map. The win marked his first Major title, achieved on his birthday. Later in the year, Vitality added a second Major at StarLadder Budapest, capping off one of the most successful seasons in Counter-Strike history.<\/p>\n<h3>Late-season form and resilience<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-326188\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54984326524_fdf355c21d_k-1536x989.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second half of 2025 tested flameZ. Vitality\u2019s win streak ended, and flameZ briefly struggled with confidence after Cologne and Riyadh. However, he rebounded strongly. At BLAST Open London and ESL Pro League Season 22, flameZ returned to EVP form and helped Vitality secure yet another trophy. His ability to recover and adapt under pressure stood out.<\/p>\n<h3>Why flameZ ranked 7th<\/h3>\n<p>flameZ earned 7th place due to consistency, volume, and team impact. He recorded 11 standout events, four EVP awards, and played a major role in nine tournament wins. His numbers in finals and big matches ranked among the best in the Top 20. What kept him outside the top five was peak dominance. Players above him posted stronger MVP-level events or higher peaks against elite opposition. Still, flameZ proved himself as one of the most reliable stars of 2025.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <h3>read more<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-winter-rostermania-all-2025-2026-roster-changes\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/55057370525_49c6413a59_k-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"CS2 Winter Rostermania \u2014 All 2025\u20132026 Roster Changes\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-winter-rostermania-all-2025-2026-roster-changes\">CS2 Winter Rostermania \u2014 All 2025\u20132026 Roster Changes<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/cs2-winter-rostermania-all-2025-2026-roster-changes\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776557338#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776557338#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1776557338#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 26<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>A pillar of a historic year<\/h3>\n<p>Back-to-back 7th-place finishes confirm flameZ\u2019s status among the world\u2019s elite.
