Vitality have bounced back from their opening loss and look towards the final bracket.

Team Vitality have taken down Virtus.pro to make it to the playoffs of the Austin Major. The #1 team of the Major went 3-1 in the group stage to make the top 8.

They lost their 30-match winstreak in the opener of this tournament, but still retain 31 BO3/BO5 matches won with this win.

Virtus.pro have one more chance to make the playoffs in the 2-2 pool tomorrow.

The first map was Train, Vitality’s pick, which they took without much issue.

It was another standout map for ZywOo, who became the highest-rated player of the event over donk with a 1.58 rating in this series.

The map also featured a top-fragging ropz, who also got a wallbang kill on ICY to open a round.

Dust2 was all ZywOo

Vitality got it done and dusted with ZywOo accruing 22 kills over 19 rounds to send VP to the 2-2 match.

The Frenchman also had the most opening and AWP kills of the series, with 5 and 17, respectively.
