Vitality secure second trophy in Intel Grand Slam race

With their victory at IEM Katowice 2025, Vitality tied FaZe and NAVI for the most trophies in the current Intel Grand Slam season – all three teams have won two tournaments. NAVI became the first squad in 2024 to win two ESL Pro Tour events in a row.

At the same time, Vitality won both trophies at elite championships from the IEM series. Dan "apEX" Madesclaire's roster needs to win two more ESL Pro Tour competitions to get the prize. Vitality has six more attempts to do so.

Team Spirit and MOUZ are also currently competing for the prestigious award – they have one trophy on their record each.

Intel Grand Slam Award will be secured by the team that wins three ESL Pro Tour events and one big tournament of the elite Championship category (IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne or an ESL Major). From the first success, the contenders have nine attempts to get three more titles.
