Tactics for Survival - Delving into the Battleground
The CS:GO Major in Paris is heating up, and the quarterfinal match between Vitality and Into the Breach promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Vitality, the clear favourites according to the odds, have been in top form throughout 2025 and boast a deep roster with a wealth of major tournament experience. The team, led by star player "ZywOo," has won multiple recent titles, including the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and has established itself as the world's best CS2 team after a remarkable winning streak.
Into the Breach, on the other hand, are generally regarded as underdogs against Vitality. The Brits have had an impressive run to reach the quarterfinals, having defeated FaZe, ENCE, and fnatic in the Legends stage. Their performances on Inferno and Vertigo have been particularly noteworthy.
Vitality's strengths lie in their strategic map control and player roles, notably Twistzz and NER's coordination, which might be key factors in defeating opponents. However, Into the Breach has shown the ability to compete on other maps as well.
The odds favor Vitality to secure a confident victory, with a 2:0 score predicted at a 1.58 coefficient with Winline. Despite this, Into the Breach's unseen level of play in the Major so far should not be underestimated.
The quarterfinal match between Vitality and Into the Breach will take place on May 18 at 20:30 Moscow time. The tournament is being held in Paris, where the Brits started their Major journey from the open qualifiers alongside amateur teams. Despite nobody expecting it, Into the Breach managed to break into the top 8.
As the pressure mounts, the question remains whether Into the Breach can handle the pressure of playing on stage against Vitality with the entire crowd cheering for their opponents. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated matchup.
