Questioned for their poor performances in the latter half of the year, Vitality has become the first team to reach the Grand Finals of the StarLadder Budapest Major by beating Team Spirit with a 2-0 scoreline. It was a classy comeback to start the series and a dominant victory on their opponent’s pick. Vitality stood the test of donk in style.
Donk rushing out on mid and getting a 3K on the pistol kicked things off for Spirit, who went on to build a 5-0 lead off the back of it. The early domination was met with some resistance from Vitality by the end of the first half, which presented us with a more competitive scoreline before they switched sides with a 7-5 scoreline. Spirit built on their narrow lead to hit map point with a comfortable lead before Vitality started mounting their comeback. Back-to-back 6 rounds on the defence from Vitality saw them push the game to overtime, having stood on the face of defeat 6 times. With the first OT failing to separate both sides, Vitality edged it out in the second one, winning 2 rounds on both CT and T side. 34 kills from donk fell flat against ZyWoo, ropz, and mezii coming together as a team to make the comeback.
Map 2: Dust2; Pick: Spirit; Winner: Vitality
Having edged out a close win on the map before, Vitality had a better start to Dust2, but not as comfortable as the one Spirit had in Mirage. Both teams put up streaks in the first half, and the game ended in a level scoreline. Spirit winning the pistol round put them in the lead before Vitality converted the first gun round of the second half. Winning the first gun round, they put together a 7-game streak to wipe the floor with the Spirit defence and lock their spot in the Grand Finals with a 13-8 scoreline. Having had a rough start to the series, ZyWoo came into his own in Dust2 with 18 kills and 1.42 IR, proving instrumental, especially in early and mid rounds.
Team Spirit, who remained undefeated up until this match, had established themselves as favourites for the trophy coming into the match against Vitality. Suffice it to say that they were not off their game, but Vitality were just too good both individually and collectively. The new Spirit roster is yet to show its potential, and it would be too unfair to call for roster changes before giving the side the experience and time it deserves.
GamerLegion has confirmed the addition of Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski to its Counter-Strike 2 roster.
The announcement was made on the official GamerLegion X handle, with the org confirming that the 32-year-old was set to make his return to its CS2 roster as an IGL.
The move follows GamerLegion’s disappointing run at the ongoing StarLadder Budapest Major, where the team was eliminated in Stage 1 after a 1-3 finish.
Snax has been brought in to replace Erik “ztr” Gustafsson on the GamerLegion’s CS2 roster, with ztr being relegated to the bench.
This won’t be Snax’s first stint with GamerLegion. Previously, the Polish CS2 veteran had been a part of the organization for nearly a year, starting in September 2023, before leaving for G2 in July 2024. He went on to spend over a year with G2, eventually parting ways with the organization in August 2025.
Following the acquisition of Snax, the GamerLegion CS2 squad now includes the following players:

Organised by MOONTON Games, the event will bring together top MLBB teams from around the world to compete for the world title and a USD 1 million prize pool. The tournament will feature an opening ceremony, multiple competition stages, in-game events like the M7 Pass, brand partnerships, and a fan-focused M7 Carnival in Jakarta. Below are the key details shared during the official MLBB M7 World Championship press conference.
Indonesia to Host the MLBB M7 World Championship

Jakarta will act as the main hub for the tournament, with several activities planned across the city. According to MOONTON Games, the event is designed as a large-scale esports showcase inspired by major international sporting events.
M7 Opening Ceremony Scheduled for 9 January
For the first time in M Series history, the M7 will feature a dedicated opening ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for 9 January and will focus on combining MLBB esports with elements of Indonesian culture. The concept is built around a cinematic presentation that moves through well-known landmarks in Jakarta, highlighting the mix of tradition and modern esports culture.
MOONTON Games stated that the ceremony aims to reflect the growth of MLBB esports in Indonesia, where the MPL Indonesia league has consistently recorded high viewership numbers over the past few seasons.
Statements from MOONTON Games and PBESI. Tiger Xu, Global Head of MLBB Esports at MOONTON Games, spoke about the role of MLBB esports in Indonesia’s sporting landscape. He noted that MPL Indonesia records over 100 million watch hours per season and has reached popularity levels comparable to traditional sports such as football and badminton. He added that the opening ceremony will focus on the journey of MLBB esports, its players, teams, and fanbase, while also highlighting Indonesian culture.
Riezha Haryo Wiguna from the Indonesian Esports Central Board (PBESI) also addressed the media, stating that the M Series has become one of the most influential mobile esports tournaments globally. He highlighted Indonesia’s role as host and mentioned efforts to support young esports talent through structured pathways. According to PBESI, the M7 is positioned as both a competition and a broader esports event for the country.
The M7 World Championship will run from 3 January to 25 January. A total of 22 teams will compete in the tournament, aiming to win the MLBB world title and share the USD 1,000,000 prize pool.

Underestimated at every stage, FaZe Clan has pulled off a shocking upset to beat MOUZ and reach the semi-finals of the StarLadder Budapest Major. Starting their journey in Stage 1, where they lost to lesser-known teams, FaZe has prepared and evolved with every passing match, and today’s performance announces them as a force to be reckoned with.
Starting with a 4-0 win, FaZe put MOUZ on the back foot right from the get-go. MOUZ’s defense not only got toyed with by FaZe, but they also failed to manage anything more than 3 rounds as FaZe came out with a 9-3 lead. MOUZ got off to a better start in the second half and gave away the lead that once looked insurmountable by winning 7 rounds in a row. Having trailed 3-9 at one point, MOUZ turned it around to take the lead with an 11-9 scoreline. From the edge of defeat, FaZe put a stop to the MOUZ comeback and took back control of the game. Winning the final 4 rounds, FaZe opened the series by bringing home their map pick in the most incredible way possible. With 23 kills and a 1.54 IR saw Broky shine as the star performer for FaZe on their map pick, all while providing instrumental opening kills for them on CT and T side alike.
Map 2: Inferno; Pick: MOUZ; Winner: FaZe
Having overcome a tough map, FaZe took things to a higher gear against MOUZ on their own map pick. A defensive masterclass put up by FaZe stopped the MOUZ offense in all but 2 rounds, leading to a 10-2 dominant half before switching sides. FaZe entered the defense with one foot in the semi-finals as a perfectly played pistol round closed the doors for a MOUZ comeback. Winning 3 rounds back to back on their offense, FaZe Clan breezed past MOUZ to win the map with a 13-2 scoreline. FrozeN topping the charts and Broky and Twistzz chiming in at every occasion saw a team that brought out their tactics and individual brilliance to send MOUZ packing.
MOUZ, coming into the event as one of the strongest teams, fell on the receiving end of the biggest upsets of the Major, as hardly anyone counted on FaZe to go through to the semis. With readily apparent performance issues on the stage, it’s back to the drawing board for MOUZ as FaZe prepare for the semi-finals.
FACEIT has banned multiple former Indian Counter-Strike 2 pros from its platform following a series of allegations involving match manipulation, admin abuse, privacy violations, and other forms of misconduct.
The allegations were first raised by Reddit user ‘ITACHI_Daisuki’ on the ‘FACEITCom’ subreddit. The user claimed that a number of FACEIT players, including multiple former Indian CS pros, had been involved in match manipulation to farm FACEIT points, reportedly with the assistance of admin/support member “DarKPhoeniXC.”
According to the Reddit thread, the following FACEIT users were reportedly involved in match manipulation for farming points:
ChAmp
AIM-4-HeAD
PyR0_
Owned07
vel0city
RIDDLESDICE
Recoilmaster
ChAmp, Recoilmaster, and vel0city are all former Indian pros who had been a part of the competitive CS scene in the past. ChAmp and Recoilmaster played for Victores Sumus earlier this year, while vel0city has previously been a part of teams like Wasted Potential and Marcos.
The Reddit post puts forward the following allegations against the aforementioned players:
Admin-assisted match manipulation
Intentional disconnections to force match abandonment
Players jumping between two tournaments simultaneously
Admin misusing platform privileges
Privacy violations (reading the Matchroom chat of other teams)
Following an investigation by FACEIT, staff member Keith confirmed that the entire team was indeed found to be in violation. Consequently, the admin was removed from the team and received a year-long platform ban for abusive conduct. All other players involved in the situation were issued temporary bans for three months.
“We did not have enough conclusive evidence to state that the admin was abusing permissions,” Keith said in a reply to the Reddit thread. “Our tools did not indicate any instances of malicious actions. However, they did violate the tournament rules (rule 3) with full knowledge of what they were doing. This is why the ban lengths are what they are.”
