When Vitality lifted the trophy at the BLAST.tv Austin Major, it marked the end of one of the most dominant season in Counter-Strike history.
In a fashion not seen since the glory days of Astralis, Dan “apEX” Madesclaire and his team have ruled 2025, breaking records, winning titles, and cashing in on a wave of success.
Who has racked up the most cash?
With seven straight trophies, including an ESL Grand Slam, Vitality’s grip on the top has been unshakable. That success has also paid off financially, with the French organisation having racked up no less than $2.5 million in prize winnings.
