Stolen Vitality CS2 Trophy May Have Appeared on eBay

A listing claiming to sell a stolen Team Vitality Counter-Strike 2 trophy has reportedly appeared on eBay, a day after the French organization's V.Hive venue was looted in Paris. A screenshot published on Sunday, October 18, shows an auction for a trophy described as a stolen StarLadder prize, with bidding reaching €1,250. 

The listing shown in the screenshot is titled "STOLEN RARE VITALITY CS2 TROPHEE - STARLADDER". It displays six bids and a current bid of €1,250 at the time the image was captured. The item is listed as being located in Paris, France, and the seller's account shows no positive feedback.

Vitality Confirms Trophy Theft, but Not the eBay Auction

The reported listing emerged after Vitality's V.Hive was vandalized and looted on October 17, during protests in France. Videos shared online appeared to show people carrying one of the organization's trophies away from the venue.

The trophy attracting attention online is believed to be the one Vitality earned by defeating Aurora in the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 final on September 20. 

In an official statement, Vitality confirmed that display windows had been destroyed and trophies and computer equipment stolen. The organization said no staff members or fans were injured and that V.Hive would remain closed while it assessed the damage.
