Will Vitality Dominate The Final Run of 2025?
Team Vitality has been the most consistent force in Counter-Strike 2 throughout much of 2025. They have stormed through the major with clinical precision, defeating Team Spirit with a sweep in the semifinals and refusing to drop a map thus far.
ZywOo has led the roster to greater heights than this in 2025, and this is just another potential trophy for the jam-packed cabinet.
On the other side of the fence, you’ve got FaZe Clan, a team that has pushed for a miraculous run throughout this event. FaZe Clan also dropped from the running in the tournament’s opening stage, but stellar performances from the likes of broky, Twistzz, and, of course, karrigan, have kept them afloat.
However, we need to be critical ahead of the betting predictions for the StarLadder Budapest Major.
Team Vitality is easily the safe bet for the outright market. They’ve proven that already time and again this year, and if you want an easy (but small) return, you’ll float this wager.
For bigger potential returns and the love of the game, you might back FaZe Clan, as the final best-of-five could be anyone’s series in truth. That’s the beauty of Counter-Strike esports, and stranger things have happened.
If you want to have a flutter on MVP markets, consider backing ZywOo to take the accolade away.
