Ropz did what NiKo couldn’t – he dropped nearly a kill per round in the grand final after his fighting words against NAVI.
I waited until I was 32 years old to have a team like this,” apEX said. “The message is to not stop believing.
With this win, apEX and Vitality picked up their 16th consecutive series win and 20th consecutive map win in 2025. They are approaching their own 30 match win streak they set in 2025, but they have their eyes on another record.
Right now, we are focused on winning the Grand Slam.
flameZ said that Vitality’s eyes were on their second ESL Grand Slam win. His fiery form in 2026 has enabled Vitality to be unbeatable so far, but ropz was the one to show up today.
Ropz’s 65 kills to defeat NAVI
After saying to HLTV that NAVI would be no match for Vitality, he kept up with his word. He was above even ZywOo in this final fragging-wise.
This contrasts with NiKo, who said that PARIVISION was overrated and lost 0-2 while not managing a single kill in the first half.
