Will Team Vitality start winning again? Prospects for the team in the new season of Counter-Strike 2
In the first half of 2024, Team Vitality failed to win a single tournament for the entire season for the first time in a long time. This was definitely a disaster for one of the best teams in the game. However, the French organization did not make changes in the composition and retained the current five. There are questions about many players on the roster, but the club still believed in the team. Sometimes this approach allows you to gain greater faith in the team and from the players themselves; they understand that the results are unsatisfactory, but are in no hurry to get rid of them. Also, additional pressure is relieved from e-sportsmen due to the fact that for a long time they were afraid of being kicked. Taking into account all the factors, with proper preparation and effort, Team Vitality has a chance of success in the new season. In this article we will discuss the team’s prospects in the second half of 2024.
Prime Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut
It’s no secret that the entire success of Team Vitality is primarily built around the game of Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut. In the best of times, this was even enough for a team to win major tournaments, but Counter-Strike is developing and now one phenomenal player is no longer enough to win matches. However, last season Team Vitality didn’t even have prime Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut; the Frenchman plays much worse after the release of Counter-Strike 2. But there is good news for fans of the organization: every year ZywOo performs better in the second half than in the first. It’s still not clear what this is connected with; perhaps in winter the player does not have enough New Year’s holidays and needs a month’s break to get into playing shape. For Team Vitality to start winning tournaments, Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut needs to fully join the race for the top 1 in 2024 and again consistently hit with AWP. Lately, the Frenchman has been playing more and more often with AK-47 and the team lacks that crazy sniper who can win absolutely any situation. Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut’s top form is a key factor in allowing Team Vitality to return to the top of the competitive scene.
Faith in William mezii Merriman
Almost everyone in the Counter-Strike community was waiting for William mezii Merriman’s kick in the off-season. However, even such a problematic player has received his trust from the organization and, according to rumors, will continue to play for it for at least six months. If the Briton manages to maintain his current form, he has a chance to gain a foothold in the squad, but for this he will need to make a tremendous effort. Before IEM Dallas 2024 and BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024, the game of William mezii Merriman was painful to watch, the e-sportsman failed statistically and was constantly lost on the map and in clutch situations. However, at the last two tournaments he showed something that even the most devoted fans of Team Vitality did not expect from him. This performance allowed the club to qualify for the grand finals of IEM Dallas 2024, but still failed to win the championship. If, in addition to the prime Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut, Team Vitality receives a stable reefer in the person of William mezii Merriman, this may already be enough for the long-awaited victories, but the team has another problem.
Is Dan apEX Madescler still a worthy captain?
Dan apEX Madescler was never known for his consistent play, but he was useful as a team leader and moral pillar of the team. However, recently the captain’s statistics are even worse than before, and he has ceased to make a significant impact on the tactical and mental component of Team Vitality. On camera we increasingly see the Frenchman tilting and arguing with his teammates. If the game for Dan apEX Madescler continues in a similar vein, he could be kicked off the roster and end his career as early as next season. The Frenchman received another chance from Team Vitality to prove that he is still a worthy captain and there will be no better opportunity to realize himself. If Dan apEX Madescler does not lead the team to the necessary trophies in 2024, his exclusion will be one of the first changes to the squad.
Shahar flameZ Shushan and Lotan Spinx Giladi
The only Team Vitality players who have no questions are Shahar flameZ Shushan and Lotan Spinx Giladi. These are the same stable reefers that every team needs and their place in the club is definitely reserved for a long time. If these players had not shown their performance, Team Vitality’s results last season would have been even worse. Lately, the team’s success has been built not even on Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut, but on this very duo. Shahar flameZ Shushan and Lotan Spinx Giladi are two of the best players in their roles and they can definitely lead their club to new trophies.
For Team Vitality to succeed, it is necessary that the team has absolutely all its cards in hand. William mezii Merriman should continue to perform at the same level as at IEM Dallas 2024 and BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024. Mathieu ZywOo Herbaut will again become the best player on the planet with huge competition from Danil donk Kryshkovets and Ilya m0NESY Osipov. Dan apEX Madescler needs to prove that he is still one of the top captains who can kill on par with his rifflers. It is quite difficult to imagine a situation where absolutely all these factors will come together in 2024, but Team Vitality still has a chance of success. Only time will tell whether the team will be able to return to its previous level or whether it will face drastic changes in just a few months.
