The BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals reach their conclusion tonight in Attard, Malta, with Team Spirit and MOUZ meeting in a best-of-five grand final for the tournament's $740,000 prize pool and a coveted haul of BLAST season tokens.
How They Got Here
Spirit navigated the toughest path in the bracket. After a group-stage highlight where donk posted a career-high 2.84 rating in a 13-0 Dust II demolition of 100 Thieves, they dispatched Team Liquid 2-0 in the quarters and edged FaZe Clan 2-1 in Saturday's semifinal - despite an uncharacteristically quiet outing from their star. sh1ro was the standout in the semi with 49 kills and a 1.24 rating.
MOUZ arrived after a 2-1 quarter-final win over 3DMAX and Saturday's reverse-sweep victory against Astralis. torzsi was the MVP of that comeback, closing with 54 kills, 82.9 ADR and a 1.29 series rating.
Head-to-Head Tale of the Tape
- Best-of-Five format in Attard, Malta
- Prize: $340,000 to the winner, $170,000 to the runner-up
- Season Tokens: BLAST Rising standings points toward year-end seeding
- Spirit's core: donk, sh1ro, chopper, magixx, zont1x
- MOUZ's core: torzsi, xelex, Jimpphat, Brollan (via HEROIC-era history now with MOUZ pool), Spinx
Storylines to Watch
Can donk bounce back? Two off-days in a best-of-five would be unusual for the 20-year-old, and Spirit will need him firing to grind through a rested MOUZ side.
The AWP duel: sh1ro vs torzsi is arguably the most important individual matchup on paper. Both anchored their teams to the final; whoever wins the sniper battle likely wins the trophy.
Map pool depth: Spirit's Anubis and Dust II have been elite. MOUZ's Mirage and Dust II were sharp on Saturday. A Dust II decider looks almost inevitable.
Where and When
The grand final is scheduled for the evening of Sunday, 2 August 2026 (CEST), with streams available via the official BLAST channels on Twitch and YouTube.
