But as all good things have to end, this tournament also concluded on May 21. However, the conclusion of this tournament also marked the end of an era.
With Counter-Strike 2 now revealed to be on the way for Summer 2023, Valve has announced that the BLAST Paris Major will be the final Major in CS:GO. This announcement had a bittersweet effect on fans. Although many were excited about the upcoming Valve title, they were finding it hard to bid adieu to their favorite FPS competition.

The team that lifted this trophy was Team Vitality. They defeated GamerLegion 2-0 to become the last-ever CS:GO Major champions. The members of the French organization also created some personal records of their own. This was ZywOo’s first-ever trophy, while his teammate dupreeh became the only player to win five CS:GO trophies.
Although Team Vitality and their fans would be happy for the French organization to become the last Major champions, some fans were rather unimpressed by the trophy.

Looks cool to me. Its one of a kind and looks indistinguishable.

Seen it in person. It's quite small for a Major trophy. Design looks oke, glad they're trying some new ideas. Better than those traditional silver cups.
