Vitality’s campaign in Season 22 was not without adversity. The roster opened Stage 2 with an unexpected 0-2 loss to Gentle Mates, a result that briefly cast doubt upon their form. Under the leadership of Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, and with the collective contributions of players such as Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, Shahar “flameZ” Shushan, William “mezii” Merriman, and Robin “ropz” Kool, Vitality swiftly recovered. The team proceeded to register consecutive 2-0 victories over GamerLegion, HOTU, and G2 Esports, thereby advancing to the playoffs with renewed confidence.

During the quarterfinals, Vitality overcame FURIA in a closely contested 2-1 series, demonstrating considerable tactical resilience after conceding the first map on Overpass.

FaZe’s veteran, rain, secured Mirage in an overtime thriller; nevertheless, Vitality prevailed on Inferno and Dust II to secure their place in the final.
