The teams split the first two rounds, with Spirit winning 13-8 on Nuke and FaZe Clan taking Ancient 13-6.

On Dust II, Spirit jumped out to an 8-4 lead but held off a surging opponent for a 13-11 triumph.

“Our beloved fans, thank you for being with us every step of the way. The season ends here, but we’ll be back next year, stronger than ever.”

Danil “donk” Kryshkovets and Boris “magixx” Vorobiev were dominant for the all-Russian Team Spirit squad, with donk posting 69 kills and a plus-25 kills-to-death differential and magixx contributing 69 and and a plus-30, respectively.
