Vitality sweep NAVI to win BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026

It’s almost starting to get a little boring, isn’t it? Another Grand Final, another straightforward Vitality win at BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026. Not just the best Counter-Strike team in the world right now, but the best of all time. There are those who will still make Astralis’ case, but those are becoming few and far between.

This time, it was NAVI who couldn’t find the answer to Vitality’s monstrous form. At this point, it seems that the only people who can defeat them is Vitality themselves. They’re keeping the good times rolling.

Vitality keep it clean in 3:0 win over NAVI

Much of the narrative in this game surrounded the idea that NAVI are the main contenders to Vitality‘s throne. On this evidence, there is still a gulf in class between the two, one that will require a little more than pure firepower to solve. After this 3:0 win, it’s another flawless event for Vitality, extending their overall map streak to 22.

Vitality’s Inferno pick kicked off the BLAST Open Rotterdam Grand Final. A few close rounds early on indicated we had a real contest on our hands, but Vitality showed their mastery of the map as the contest went deeper. A huge 27-kill masterclass from ropz ensured a 13:7 victory, and the favorites raced to an early lead.

NAVI would need to win their Anubis pick to have any hope in this Final. Given their recent form on it, it felt like a real possibility. Vitality again made it look all too easy, pulling ahead to an 11:5 lead. It started to look a little awkward after that, and NAVI pulled back five consecutive rounds to make it 11:10. At this point, Vitality needed answers. They found them in the form of an absurd triple boost on A site, finding them their twelfth round. From that point, a shellshocked NAVI couldn’t prevent ZywOo’s team from seeing this one across the line.

That near-comeback sapped the energy from NAVI, and they couldn’t bring it to the table for the start of the third map of Dust2. Vitality found an early 9:3 lead, which eventually led to a 12:4 match point. Again, NAVI rallied, bringing it all the way back to 12:10 before Vitality once again got across the find line.

Winners again. When does it stop? Certainly not any time soon – no one is even close to them right now. The chasing pack is further away than ever, and BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 offers little in the way of evidence that there is any stopping them.
