Vitality’s streak of 24 map wins in a row has been broken by a dominant G2 performance at IEM Rio 2026, where Eetu “sAw” Saha’s troops dominated the world number one 13-5 on Mirage. The streak, which had started at PGL Cluj-Napoca, lasted through Vitality’s run at BLAST Rotterdam, and included a 2-map win over RED Canids in their Rio opener.
G2’s own roster isn’t operating at full-strength at IEM Rio, with IGL Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač sidelined after a foot-injury. Instead, G2 Ares member Vilius “tAk” Keserauskas is taking his place on the roster, with Álvaro “SunPayus” García carrying out leadership duties.
