Vitality survive GamerLegion challenge at Bounty

REZ did his best to try to take down the Major champions.

REZ did his best to try to take down the Major champions.

Things looked dicey for the reigning Major champions, Team Vitality, when they were down 2-7 on their pick of Dust2.

Fredrik ‘REZ’ Sterner was rolling back the years on the CT-side, going 19-5 overall with many opening kills. It looked as if the series might get more interesting, when Vitality kicked into gear.

Robin ‘ropz’ Kool shut out GamerLegion’s offense with a secondary AWP. Once they got the economy on their side, they “started to feel more comfortable”. That meant ropz was getting an AWP kill every round on unsuspecting terrorists.

Along with stealing their opponent’s map pick of Inferno, Vitality closed out the series. They join Falcons and FURIA in the semi-finals, awaiting to see if Spirit will make good of PARIVISION’s challenge.

I'm an aspiring journalist in the world of esports. I first got into MOBAs watching SMITE in 2015, and got hooked on CS from the MLG Columbus Major.

My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they're relevant.

Besides that, I have a bachelor's in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
