Team Vitality Claim Victory At DreamHack Atlanta
By Zac Cameron ·
The French squad have fought hard to claim the top spot at DreamHack Atlanta, sweeping the final series to win the tournament.
After an amazing tournament series, Team Vitality have managed to claim victory in the grand finals of DreamHack Open Atlanta 2018, taking down Luminosity Gaming in a clean sweep to close out the event. Despite putting forward an excellent effort, the remaining teams couldn’t match Team Vitality’s performance in the end as they claimed the top prize of $50,000. Here’s a brief breakdown of the series.
The first semifinal bout saw Team Vitality take down compLexity Gaming to advance to the finals. Though compLexity put up a brave effort and claimed the first match of the series, they were unable to keep the pace up as Team Vitality cruised to an easy 2-1 overall victory.
The second semifinal match saw Ghost Gaming similarly take down Luminosity in their first match, before succumbing to the power of LG as they swept the next two matches after some tough battles. The outcomes of these semifinal matches meant that both first seed teams were knocked out of contention almost as quickly as they had arrived.

With their victory here, Team Vitality have shown they have what it takes to tangle with the other top teams in the world, as they prepare to challenge other tournaments and cement their legacy as one of the best teams out there right now.
