Spirit Beat MOUZ to Reach BLAST Rivals Final

Spirit advanced to the BLAST Rivals 2026 S2 grand final by beating MOUZ 13-7 on Mirage and 13-11 on Ancient. With this result, the team moved one step closer to the season's third trophy.

On Mirage, Oldřich "PR" Nový's early performance helped MOUZ keep the opponent close in the opening rounds. However, MOUZ's T side fell apart, and they won only one of the last seven rounds. Apart from PR, the MOUZ players did not deliver the expected contribution.

On Ancient, Spirit closed the first half 8-4 despite losing the pistol round. When MOUZ won seven rounds in a row to go up 11-8, the match reopened. At that point, Danil "donk" Kryshkovets made two consecutive triple kills, which allowed Spirit to turn the score to 13-11.

Boris "magixx" Vorobiev said the win ended their three-match losing streak against MOUZ. Vorobiev said the difference was the atmosphere created by the crowd, and that the team was playing in front of an audience rather than in a studio.
