Today marks not only the end of the BLAST Paris CS:GO <\/em>Major but the end of an era in Counter-Strike<\/em> history. In front of thousands, Vitality was crowned Major winners for the first time, but their run in Paris is even more astonishing than first meets the eye.<\/p>
Aside from the individual accolades like dupreeh\u2019s
ranked 6th and 8th by HLTV<\/a>, respectively. Both were decided by a three-round difference.<\/p>
It was so VIT favored, in fact, they got
1.47 rating<\/a> in NaVi\u2019s perfect run. ZywOo wasn\u2019t far behind with a 1.39 rating<\/a> on his home turf. Both players showing that in order to stay perfect at a Major, teams need an all-time performance from their superstars.<\/p>
For NaVi, it was bit who had arguably his best Major performance. It isn\u2019t talked about that much because of how amazing s1mple\u2019s Major was, but the youngster finished in the top five of the tournament with a 1.27 rating<\/a>, with a standout in the quarterfinals eliminating Vitality from the Major with 27 kills on Nuke<\/a>. Less than a year after joining, the young gun was top-fragging to send NaVi through to the semis of a Major.<\/p>
Speaking of new kids on the block, Spinx has been with Vitality for only nine months by the time the Paris Major rolled around. Despite such a short stint with the squad, Spinx has been a huge catalyst for the team and it showed in their perfect run at the Paris Major. The Israeli player finished with the third-highest overall rating<\/a> at the Major, 1.24. Spinx\u2019s best map of the entire tournament came was a 24-11 K\/D alongside an outstanding 1.79 rating<\/a> on Overpass in the grand finals. Just like with NaVi, ZywOo will take the spotlight, but it was Spinx who carried his squad one game away from that Major title.<\/p>
