Vitality is Major bound following flawless RMR run
The second European Major participant has been found with Vitality punching their ticket to the Chinese Major.
Vitality is ready for the Perfect World Major in Shanghai later this month.
The French team secured their spot at the $1.25 million tournament this Monday when they took down FaZe 2-0 in dominant fashion.
Dan “apEX” Madesclaire and his men were clearly a level or two above FaZe today, which they proved by firstly crushing the opposition 13-5 on Finn “karrigan” Andersen and company’s map pick of Mirage.
Something Vitality followed up with a fine performance on Dust2, where a certain Frenchman by the name of Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut were firing on all cylinders, ending the map with a 1.45 Rating and the only Vitality member to have a positive rating.

With Vitality going 3-0 in the Swiss stage, it not only secured them a spot at the Shanghai Major, but it also meant the French team will skip the Opening Stage and drop directly into the Elimination Stage. Here, they follow in the footsteps of MOUZ, who defeated NAVI earlier today.
In the bottom of the bracket, Nemiga eliminated Rebels after a dramatic overtime thriller. Meanwhile, GamerLegion and UNiTY are currently battling for survival in the last match of the day.
