Renault Vitalityâs Perfect Run
Renault Vitality was the shining star of the winnersâ bracket. They made it to the finals without dropping a single series. Team BDS was incapable of resisting the offensive firepower of Victor âFairy Peak!â Locquet, Alexandre âKaydopâ Courant, and Yanis âAlpha54â Champenois, losing 1-3. In the second round, mousesports proved to be a tough matchup with Vitality winning the match 3-2. To secure their place at the Grand Finals, the three Renault Vitalityâs players blasted Endpoint 4-1. With full confidence, Fairy Peak!, Kaydop, and Alpha54 took on Dignitas in the Spring Seriesâ Grand Finals.

Dignitasâ Persistence
Unlike Renault Vitality, Dignitas needed to fight for survival in this esports tournament. In its first game, Dignitas suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Canyons 1-3. At this point, Dignitasâ players ended up battling through the entire losersâ bracket with the overwhelming fear of elimination over their heads.
Nevertheless, fans saw Dignitasâ persistence as they sweeped FC Barcelona and defeated mouseports 3-1. For the rematch, Dignitas learned from its previous defeat and crushed Canyons three games to one. Moreover, in the Losers Finals, Dignitas came on top, by securing the four games needed to win a best-of seven match. Apart from this poor start, Dignitas had every reason to feel confident for Grand Finals.

The results were 3-1, 2-1, and 2-0 for Renault Vitality, added to the original win by coming from the winnersâ bracket. With this win, Vitality is finally on top for the first time since Rocket League Season 7.
