Vitality to rematch MOUZ after securing Lisbon arena spot
Virtus.pro fell by the wayside in another dominant win for Vitality.

Vitality are the second team to secure a spot in the BLAST Open Lisbon playoffs and the MEO Arena following a landslide win over Virtus.pro.
Dan "apEX" Madesclaire's team joins MOUZ in the Group A final, which will mark the two sides' second encounter in just over a week, after Vitality dominated their opponents in a swift 3-0 victory in the ESL Pro League S21 title decider.

Meanwhile, Virtus.pro fall to the lower bracket, where they'll need two more wins to make it to the playoffs. Their next match will see them go up against Falcons on Sunday.
Vitality make it 13 in a row
With the win over Virtus.pro, Vitality now stand undefeated for 13 series in a row as they set their sights on their third consecutive title at BLAST Open.
What's more, to add to three maps on which they are undefeated with Robin "ropz" Kool, they are on their way to starting a streak on Anubis, which had been their only apparent weakness in the first two months of the year.
Against Virtus.pro, they had a tough time dealing with Kaisar "ICY" Faiznurov on the favored Terrorist side and needed a forcebuy win to win out the half. That hardly mattered when they followed it up with a nearly flawless defense, set off by a slicing-and-dicing Shahar "flameZ" Shushan inside smoke in the pistol.
On the second map, Vitality extended their Inferno streak with another dominant win to nine in a row this year, surpassing their 8-0 record on Dust2 for the time being.
With a nigh-untouchable map pool to add to their immense firepower, it seems nothing can stop a Vitality team brimming with confidence.
"We are enjoying a lot. I feel this team, we can do whatever we want and it's gonna work," Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut said on the BLAST broadcast after the match. "I don't think there's any team above us for now. We know that if we're playing our A game, there's no chance for them to beat us."
