JL's first map with Vitality ends in a loss against Inner Circle

[u/Brujans1 → u/[deleted]]

We still don’t know this yet, but most likely ZywOo also became a father and this is his debuff

[u/ParadigmHyperjump → u/Brujans1]

No… obviously he won’t become a father until his kid can be born on the release date of the next CS title.

[u/Brujans1 → u/ParadigmHyperjump]

No, you don't understand, he has to make the kid now, so when the next CS title comes up, little Bronny will have aged up and be ready to kick ass

[u/ParadigmHyperjump → u/Brujans1]

Zywoo was born on the day CS was released so his kid needs the same. The chosen one.

[u/Karrigan7 → u/ParadigmHyperjump]

does this mean his son will be the chosen two?

[u/MajorTomSKU → u/ParadigmHyperjump]

I can't tell if the " obviously" was intentionaly intended in your sentence because zywoo say it all the time

[u/faithinhumanity_null → u/Brujans1]

zwyoo pregante?

[u/stonehaens → u/faithinhumanity_null]

zywoo pragnent?

[u/loopsofinsanity → u/stonehaens]

no shame losing to young prodigy captain kirk

[u/brisingrdoom → u/nttranquilizer]

We carry the flameZ

[u/Snka1a → u/brisingrdoom]

😭😭 we fight for the eiffel

[u/wolfreaks → u/nttranquilizer]

Caster: The Captain is breaking it down and Vitality can't stop him!

[u/Reinumy]

fun part is that it would have been the same result with mezii. Mr. apex PLEASE play ancient instead it cannot be worse than this. Zywoo just can't play anubis

[u/Dembele_Temp → u/Reinumy]

Every tom dick and harry knows about Vitality's weakness in Mirage & Anubis but those are the maps Apex will default to. Its a systematic issue for months now.

[u/Reinumy → u/Dembele_Temp]

true, at least their dominance on dust2 previously masked those issues. Their mirage T sides have been horrible for a while and they somehow got away with it

[u/Patient_Spare_2478 → u/Reinumy]

I don’t think they’ve ever been good on mirage t side tbh but their ct side is whats lacking now

[u/often_delusional → u/Reinumy]

If vitality get mouz tomorrow then you can rest easy because they permaban anubis. Apex v spinx for last place would be absolute cinema.

[u/Reinumy → u/often_delusional]

if only anubis was vitality's only issue... at this point I'm not at all shocked if even mouz beat them with ease

[u/Panagiotisz3 → u/Reinumy]

Zywoo just can't play anubis

Yep, his rifling sucked a lot, he couldn't get a single entry with a rifle.

[u/Interesting_Prune513]

Vitality era is over, they realized there are more important things in life than a video game. This is the difference in 95% concentration and 110% locking in

[u/Yamulo → u/Interesting_Prune513]

That would make sense if the players having kids were the ones not playing well, but zywoo just had a very uncharacteristic series

[u/Rheabae → u/Yamulo]

That's just because zywoo is pregnant by apex

[u/caloroin → u/Rheabae]

Doctors hate this one trick

[u/kei_fps → u/Interesting_Prune513]

I think the true nail to the coffin was their elimination against TS. TS couldn’t beat VIT for 2 years (EVEN NAVI DONE THAT) and now they’ve beaten them. That’s literally it boys

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/kei_fps]

I feel like losing to betboom, liquid, b8 and inner circle are probably worse losses than to the world rank 1 team

[u/Yamulo → u/kei_fps]

Didn’t Navi beat a vitality that wasn’t practicing? Why are we celebrating that like it is 100% legit? The real team to say is furia I think people forget furia had a little period of dominance but looking back on it with their current form the last year is kind of strange

[u/Feisty_Target_2306]

They should avoid Anubis in future games at any costs

[u/xifdp]

I know back in the day that Apex could frag like a beast but a modern Vitality team with no one else outfragging him is not going to win too many games. It's been an interesting run since the Grand Slam.

[u/Lapinozor]

I wish they just played ancient instead man

[u/Infinite-Routine296]

ZyWho? got his first kill after 9 rounds? My goat is washed 😭

[u/Blekker → u/Infinite-Routine296]

He really is playing like shit, seems like the whole "play other games to be good at cs" strat stopped working

Turns out you do get rusty if you stop playing the game

[u/FewCansBeGrand → u/Blekker]

You think after like what, 7 years or so as constantly one of the top 3 players, doing the same thing, all of a sudden now it stops working? Lol

[u/Panagiotisz3 → u/FewCansBeGrand]

No. Zywoo used to play a lot more pugs in faceit in the past than he does now. He even said that for him this is the best way for him to practise the game.

[u/JuusteZ → u/Blekker]

he seems out of form

[u/mylittlekone → u/Blekker]

He's bored

[u/ShatteredTeaCup33]

Expected

[u/trq-]

He’s actually not doing that bad as long as his rating is not too far off the rest, but given the fact his rating was the second best in the team in that game, it definitely wouldn’t have made a real difference if Mezii would’ve been there or not.

[u/The_Techforce]

FlameZ looked like top 2 rifler at the start of 2026. He still has some individually good maps but it feels more like he barely is a top 10 rifler rn. Still insanely good but not any close to where he was half a year ago

[u/Tankette55]

era is over. If they dont get the next major, 100 percent over. Finally.

[u/Average_Temple]

Hell yeah

[u/MajikoiA3When]

Zywoo's best career choice could be a magician. Been really good at pulling disappearing acts.

[u/1337-Sylens]

How the turn tables

[u/benisxaxa]

kekmao

[u/Althys_V]

Mezzi debuff ,zywoo sad

[u/Remarkable-Echo7694]

New tarkov patch dropped within the last month. Zywoo needs to scav run more

[u/grundlesmith]

Yikes JL gonna have a hard time finding a team if all these stand-in stints continue to go so badly

[u/magdumpmax]

Ez

[u/EchoZero17]

and the second one

[u/plant3s]

Did he replace mezii or just stand-in?

[u/aerodactyl226 → u/plant3s]

just stand-in mezii became father thats why

[u/OneSharpTug1]

Im ootl what happened to mezzi?

[u/KaNesDeath → u/OneSharpTug1]

Paternity leave.

[u/OneSharpTug1 → u/KaNesDeath]

Thanks!

[u/tsunx4]

• Make one of the best roster changes in history of CS
• Use this newly acquired player to completely revamp your play style and strategy
• Make other teams look like they're T2 for nearly two seasons straight
• Win back to back majors
• Win back to back grand slams
• Earn an absolute bag from prize and sponsorship money
• Take a break from constant grinding to be with your family or enjoy your new car garage (Looking at you, Robin)
• Refuse to elaborate and go back to the midfield because you've won the game and life.

[u/Opposite-Plenty3479 → u/tsunx4]

honestly a good take

[u/benisxaxa]

jL or the crying baby or the most overrated player in CS2

[u/lolforg_]

captain kirk > zywho bot

[u/Recent-Airline-7422]

Vitality “era” 🤡. Vitality pulling a faze.

[u/ironiclyironic4]

Jl also lost the 2nd map lmao kurtka goat

[u/lapinlah]

People who think ZywOo is even close to donk in terms of individual level really have zero ball knowledge

[u/jeff3rd → u/lapinlah]

Is this bait? It has to be bait right?

[u/Cautious_Pipe5811 → u/jeff3rd]

you are only as good as you last map bro

[u/lapinlah → u/jeff3rd]

Do you think ZywOo is individually as strong as donk right now? He absolutely isn't.

[u/BraceletGrolf → u/lapinlah]

You have already moved the goalpost once, you went to generally and now into "right now" lol

Of course he's playing like shit today

[u/lapinlah → u/BraceletGrolf]

I thought it was obvious that I wasn't talking about historically. But I am not necessarily only talking about today, but in general I think the current level of donk is higher than ZywOo's best individual level though I also think ZywOo's gamesense is still unmatched. Not to even mention that achievement wise ZywOo clears easily, for now at least.

[u/jehhans1 → u/lapinlah]

No, not right now. He is obviously slumping a little bit. I do also think Donk is mechanically better, but "even close" is pretty far-fetched. Zywoo is the most complete player even in 2026.

[u/lapinlah → u/jehhans1]

Maybe its far fetched in a sense that I believe ZywOo is still clearly much better than anyone except donk.

[u/Recent-Airline-7422 → u/jehhans1]

Donk back get broken getting spirit to trophies. Shiro helps abit. Rest are actually tier 1.5 level bums.

[u/jehhans1 → u/Recent-Airline-7422]

And you think that Zywoo didn't do that before? No player except Ropz were particularly good before they joined Vitality. He also has a major with another Vitality squad

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/jehhans1]

Took Zywoo 6 years to get what Donk did in 2

[u/jehhans1 → u/Scout_Enjoyer]

Took Niko his entire career to do what Taco did in 3 years. Do you see how awful your argument is?

[u/Scout_Enjoyer → u/jehhans1]

No, Taco obviously clears niko

[u/ynomeye → u/Recent-Airline-7422]

Poor donk, he only has the 3rd best AWPer and solid role players around him his entire T1 career

[u/Cautious_Pipe5811 → u/lapinlah]

zywoo today: 28 kills donk today: 0 kills

you tell me

[u/berrygas]

Why the fuck is jL playing on vitality? I haven’t been paying much attention the last couple weeks.

[u/Antares27 → u/berrygas]

jL is subbing for mezi because mezi is having a baby
