Team Spirit rolled to another title Sunday when they defeated MOUZ 3-1 in the grand final of the BLAST Open Fall 2026 in Porto, Portugal.
Two weeks removed from winning the Counter-Strike 2 championship at the Esports World Cup, Team Spirit completed a nearly perfect run through the BLAST Open Fall event. They won their group without dropping a map and beat Team Falcons 2-0 in Saturday’s semifinal match before finally dropping a map during the grand final.
Team Spirit took home $250,000 for first place ($150,000 for the players, $100,000 for the club) plus three BLAST Frequent Flyer Tokens. MOUZ collected $160,000 ($60,000 for the players, $100,000 for the club) and one token as runners-up.
Spirit opened the best-of-five grand final with a 13-8 victory on Dust II, but MOUZ edged them 13-11 on Mirage to even the match. That’s when Spirit found another gear and won 13-3 on Ancient followed by a 13-6 triumph on Nuke to clinch the title.
Danil “donk” Kryshkovets of Russia led all players with 73 kills for Spirit, finishing with a plus-21 kills-deaths differential. His teammate and countryman Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov added 70 kills on a plus-28. Oldrich “PR” Novy of the Czech Republic had a team-high 51 kills for MOUZ.
The $1.1 million Counter-Strike 2 event began with 16 teams divided into two groups for the double-elimination opening stage. The group winners advanced to the playoff semifinals, the group runners-up moved on to the quarterfinals as high seeds and the two third-place teams headed to the playoff quarterfinals as low seeds. The remaining teams were eliminated.
The single-elimination playoffs in Porto included best-of-three matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals.
