Team Vitality vs Team Falcons in-depth team analysis

Team Vitality roster and recent results

Team Vitality’s winning streak keeps on growing in BLAST Rivals Spring. The top-ranked team in Counter-Strike beat Wildcard and MOUZ in the group stage to head directly to the semifinals. From there, it beat Team Spirit in the semifinals to advance to the finals.

Team Vitality’s 2025 roster is in Copenhagen for this match:

• Dan “apEX” Madesclaire
• Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut
• Shahar “flameZ” Shushan
• William “mezii” Merriman
• Robin “ropz” Kool

Team Vitality map pool

Team Vitality is on an extended winning streak and has taken few map losses along the way. As such, the team has a very strong record on each map. The closest thing it has to a weak map is a 6-3 record on Anubis in 2025 and a propensity to ban Ancient.

Team Falcons roster and recent results

Team Falcons has been on a tear since adding Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov. After its second-place finish in IEM Melbourne, the team took a spot in the BLAST Rivals Spring semifinals by beating FaZe Clan and Team Spirit. It then punched a ticket to the finals by beating MOUZ with an impressive 2-0 score.

Here is Falcons’ roster at BLAST Rivals Spring:

• Emil “Magisk” Reif
• Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
• René “TeSeS” Madsen
• Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
• Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov

Team Falcons map pool

It’s still uncertain how good the new Falcons roster is on each map. The team was decent across the board, while banning Anubis. There are some signs that it might be shaky on Mirage and Inferno, but it’s looking fearsome elsewhere. Dust 2 is shaping up to be its best map, beating MOUZ, Vitality, and Spirit on the map since adding m0NESY.

Team Vitality vs Team Falcons head-to-head record
