Spirit beat FUT 2-1 after first 13-0 loss in CS2

Spirit recovered from its first 13-0 loss in club CS2 history on Nuke to beat FUT 2-1. The win allowed the team to start its BLAST Rivals campaign in Hong Kong on a positive note.

FUT used coach András "coolio" Fercsák as a stand-in player. However, the most striking part of the match was Spirit's 13-0 loss on Nuke. Donk said the T side was very bad and noted that on the CT side on Nuke they usually won 9, 10 or 11 rounds.

Over the last 12 months, FUT had lost all five maps it played on Nuke against VRS top 5 teams. Spirit, on the other hand, had won all five Nuke maps its opponents picked against it. Even so, Spirit's scoreline kept widening and the match reached 12-0. In nine rounds, Spirit's four players other than donk managed only four frags combined. The match ended 13-0 when Dziugas "dziugss" Steponavičius won a 1v1 clutch against sh1ro. This was the first 0-13 loss Spirit had suffered against a coach.

Spirit returned to the server more composed on Ancient. Donk and tN1R crushed FUT, and zont1x's contribution on the CT side removed any chance of a comeback. With this win, Spirit reached the upper final of the group and will now wait for the result of the MOUZ vs G2 match.
