Team Vitality secured their place in the semi-finals of IEM Dallas 2024<\/a> with a commanding 2-0 (13-8, 13-2) victory over Heroic.<\/p>\n

Despite a valiant effort from Damjan “\u2060kyxsan\u2060” Stoilkovski’s squad on Nuke, they were ultimately outclassed as Vitality pulled away decisively after half-time.<\/p>\n

On Heroic\u2019s map pick, they struggled to find their footing, managing only three frags in the first four rounds as Vitality, spearheaded by an inspired Dan “\u2060apEX\u2060” Madesclaire, took early control in the Counter-Strike<\/a> series.<\/p>\n

Despite a brief resurgence towards the end of the first half, thanks to Rasmus “\u2060sjuush\u2060” Beck’s impressive performance, Vitality maintained their lead.<\/p>\n

After the side switch, Vitality extended their advantage with a dominant pistol round, and although Heroic attempted a comeback, apEX\u2019s consistent form ensured Vitality’s victory.<\/p>\n

Heroic\u2019s situation worsened on Dust2.<\/p>\n

After an initially promising second round, won by a trio of frags from sjuush, HEROIC managed only one more round in the half as Vitality\u2019s offense proved unstoppable.<\/p>\n

Vitality\u2019s dominance continued in the second half, quickly wrapping up the game with a fast B retake and two additional rounds.<\/p>\n

This win sets up an eagerly anticipated semi-final clash against Spirit, where Mathieu “\u2060ZywOo\u2060” Herbaut and Danil “\u2060donk\u2060” Kryshkovets will face off for the first time in an official match.<\/p>\n

“We’ve never faced them, only in practice,” ZywOo commented.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to play our game. Nothing more.”<\/p>\n

\n

An absolute blowout on the second map sees @TeamVitality<\/a> best @heroicgg<\/a> 2-0 to move on to the SEMIFINALS at #IEM<\/a> Dallas!!<\/p>\n
