The first semi-final of IEM Cologne 2024<\/a> saw Team Vitality secure their spot in the grand final after a commanding 2-0 victory over Portuguese underdogs SAW.<\/p>\n

Despite entering the Counter-Strike<\/a> match as favourites, Vitality remained vigilant against SAW, who had earlier taken down top teams like G2 Esports and FaZe Clan in a stunning run.<\/p>\n

Vitality captain Dan “apEX” Madesclaire emphasised their respect for SAW\u2019s performance, saying, “We did not underestimate them, but focused on ourselves, and it paid off.”<\/p>\n
