CS2 Budapest Major: Vitality vs FaZe in Historic Bo5 [Confirmed]

Team Vitality and FaZe Clan will collide in the StarLadder Budapest Major Grand Final on December 14 at 18:00 CET, marking the first best-of-five championship series in Counter-Strike history with back-to-back Major titles and historic legacy on the line. According to verified reports from Steam CS2 (RSSHub), Team Vitality reached the title decider without dropping a single map across the playoff bracket, securing dominant 2-0 sweeps against The MongolZ in the quarterfinals and Team Spirit in the semifinals. Conversely, FaZe Clan endured grueling back-to-back tests, eliminating MOUZ before conquering Natus Vincere in a dramatic 2-1 semifinal series to book their Grand Final berth. Vitality now stands on the precipice of securing consecutive Major championships—a competitive milestone untouched in the professional scene since Astralis in 2019. For FaZe Clan, the matchup represents redemption following two runner-up finishes across the last three Valve-sanctioned Majors. Tournament organizers confirmed Budapest team and player autograph capsules remain available in the client, alongside current competitive active duty pool adjustments showcased in recent updates like the [CS2 Premier Season 4 Update: Anubis Changes [Patch Notes]](/news/cs2-premier-season-4-update). With five potential maps requiring unprecedented stamina and strategic reserves, this historic marathon will test the absolute limits of Valve's tactical shooter.
