It was not just a win. It was a declaration. Team Vitality tore through the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Women’s Invitational at the 2025 Esports World Cup with surgical dominance, claiming the championship without losing a single game. In what is now being called one of the cleanest and most commanding tournament runs of the year, the Indonesian roster swept the Grand Final 4-0 against Gaimin Gladiators and walked away with the lion’s share of the half-million-dollar prize pool.
This victory did more than bring them glory. It was redemption in its most emphatic form. After falling short in 2024 at the hands of Omega Empress, many wondered if Team Vitality could reclaim their former position at the top of the women’s MLBB scene. Not only did they reclaim it, they redefined what dominance looks like. With wins over top contenders including Team Liquid, FUT Esports, Team Falcons, and Twisted Minds, the squad played five series and did not lose a single game in any of them. From best-of-threes to the Grand Final’s best-of-seven, not one team could slow them down.
This wasn’t just a tournament win. It was a powerful comeback narrative that reached emotional highs rarely seen in competitive gaming. For sisters Michelle “Chell” Siswanto and Cindy Laurent “Cinnyy” Siswanto, the pain of last year’s heartbreak lingered. Just days before the 2024 tournament, they lost their grandfather, yet chose to compete through their grief. This year, they returned with fire in their hearts and a goal on their minds. The win is a personal triumph and a professional masterstroke. Their journey, captured in the Amazon Prime docuseries Level Up, has now gained a perfect ending.
Michelle “Chell” Siswanto captured the team’s sentiment perfectly after the final. “I just want to prove that no one can do it better than us,” she said. “I think that it was meant to be ours all along.” And looking at their performance, it is hard to argue. There was no luck involved here. Every game was controlled, every strategy precise, every execution flawless.
As for MVP honors, it was Cinnyy who walked away with the spotlight. Her incredible mechanical skill and game awareness across the tournament earned her the Sony MVP title and a ten thousand dollar bonus. The award is a fitting recognition of her role in anchoring Team Vitality’s undefeated campaign and leading the charge in their most difficult moments.
With this win, Team Vitality also becomes the first organization to officially qualify for the Esports World Cup’s Club Championship title race. Having now won a tournament and placed in the top eight in another, they have jumped to the top of the leaderboard with a commanding 1,500 points. But the battle is far from over. With more titles still up for grabs, the standings could shift before the weekend ends.
Team Vitality’s historic sweep is a reminder that esports greatness is not just about talent. It is about heart, resilience, and timing. And when all of those come together, you get performances like this flawless, unshaken, and unforgettable.
