Vitality Wins the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023
Team Vitality, the leading esports club in France and Europe, has won the very first Paris Major in its history. In the ten years since its founding, the number 1 ranked club in the HLTV world ranking signs its first major title on the CS:GO shooting game. A flawless journey for the team which left its mark on the game’s final tournament, before moving to the highly anticipated CS2 this summer.
Team Vitality saw a prominent start to the tournament by qualifying directly for the Legends stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major championship. The team then secured its spot in the quarterfinals following a stellar performance with three resounding victories against G2, ENCE, and Monte. The team, made up of Frenchmen Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut and Captain Dan ‘apEX’ Madesclaire, Danes Peter ‘dupreeh’ Rasmussen and Emil ‘magisk’ Reif, and Israeli Lotan ‘Spinx’ Giladi, gave an incredible performance, building off the momentum of their IEM Rio victory in April.
Once qualified for the playoffs, Team Vitality maintained their rock-solid mentality to guarantee an incredible show for their fans. The bee team, which has never reached the semi-finals of a major CS:GO tournament before, found the support of hundreds of Golden Hornets fans and 60,000 spectators present during the 4 day tournament at the Accor Arena. After their victories against Into the Breach and Apekz in the playoffs, Team Vitality made history after an incredible victory against GamerLegion in the Grand Final, with ZywOo crowned MVP of the Major.
“I am filled with pride, for the whole team, our fans, our families, the staff, and our partners. The team gave a stellar performance that will stay with us for a very long time. For us, this is the result of opening the roster to international talent, who bring their own unique talents to the team. It is also the reward for assembling a tailor-made team to nurture the growth of our French talent, ZywOo, who makes us proud worldwide. This trophy shows that after 10 years of existence, we continue to write the history of French esports in the world,” said Fabien ‘Neo’ Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality.
“We are living an incredible moment of happiness. We have been dreaming of lifting this trophy for years and this team has done it. It’s all the more moving because we are at home, in front of all the people we care about. We will never forget it. It’s the culmination of 10 years of work to make Team Vitality the club it is today: strong, ambitious, with lots of plans to keep the scene growing. We’ve just accomplished a dream: to leave our mark on the history of CS:GO by closing the end of this mythical game, and to obtain the greatest victory of the French esport. But more than ever, believe me, we are already looking to the future,” said Nicolas Maurer, CEO and co-founder of Team Vitality.

Each match is modelled on real-world team strengths and league dynamics, ensuring authentic, data-driven outcomes that mirror genuine football excitement.
Fully GLI-certified, Zoom Soccer has proven to boost sportsbook turnover by up to 30%, helping operators reduce the volatility of sportsbook revenues and maintain consistent engagement throughout the year.
By joining Sportradar’s OneFeed — a hub that aggregates multiple feed providers into a single plug-and-play solution — Zoom Soccer becomes instantly accessible to Sportradar’s global network of operators, bypassing complex integration processes and accelerating time to market.
Niccolò Cassettari, Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, said: “Zoom Soccer is a great addition for Sportradar’s clients, allowing them to deliver engaging football content 24/7. Users are no longer limited by the scarcity of Tier-1 events — we’ve recreated the most popular leagues, ensuring the same betting experience as real matches. All this, powered by RNG logic, helps fight the volatility of sportsbook revenues and ensures steady returns for our partners.

Playbook Fusion teams up with BetComply to bring new betting genre to regulated markets
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Boutique games studio Playbook Fusion has partnered with BetComply to bring an entirely new genre of betting to regulated markets for the very first time.
The partnership has already seen Playbook Football
, a real money virtual football management betting game, go live in the UK with brands including Ladbrokes and LiveScore Bet under a UKGC licence and eCogra certification.
The product has also recently launched in Brazil with Superbet, the Netherlands with Bingoal and Nigeria with LiveScore Bet.
The unique nature of the product meant that Playbook Fusion turned to BetComply for a deeper level of compliance understanding than is usually required by a standard slots studio or sportsbook platform.
BetComply will continue to support Playbook Fusion in the rollout of Playbook Football and future products to other regulated jurisdictions.
Steve Rogers, founder and CEO of Playbook Fusion, said: “Working with BetComply has been a smooth and productive experience. Their team quickly understood our business goals and provided clear, actionable guidance throughout the process. They combine deep regulatory insight with a practical mindset, which has been especially valuable as we continue to roll out our products into new markets. It’s been great having them as a steady partner along the way.”
Mike de Graaff, Chief Compliance Officer at BetComply, said: “We’re firm believers that good regulation doesn’t need to stunt product innovation. By engaging early and taking compliance seriously, Playbook Fusion has shown how completely new products can move quickly and successfully through regulatory processes. We’re proud to support their expansion, and we’re looking forward to helping them bring the game to more regulated markets worldwide.”
