The BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals in Malta enter their decisive stage today, with two best-of-three semifinals determining the finalists of the $740,000 event at BLAST Arena Studios in Attard.
Semifinal Schedule (August 1, 2026)
- 12:30 CEST — FaZe vs Spirit
- 15:30 CEST — Astralis vs MOUZ
The winners advance to the best-of-five grand final on Sunday, August 2.
Spirit Enter as Heavy Favorites
Team Spirit are the highest-seeded team remaining after opening the finals with a commanding 2-0 sweep of Team Liquid. Danil donk Kryshkovets carried the Russian side to victories on Dust II (13-7) and Anubis (13-5), finishing with 42 kills against 20 deaths and a +1.76 rating. Ranked #3 in the world as of July 27, Spirit are the only top-10 team remaining in the bracket and enter as clear tournament favorites.
FaZe Look to Repeat Cinderella Run
FaZe reached the semifinals with a 2-1 quarterfinal comeback against The MongolZ. The European mix, ranked #13, will need to slow down donk on Spirit's map picks to have any chance of causing an upset.
MOUZ Ride torzsi's Form Into Astralis Clash
MOUZ survived a three-map thriller against 3DMAX in the quarterfinals, dropping Dust II 10-13 before grinding out a 22-18 overtime win on Nuke and closing on Inferno 13-3. Hungarian AWPer Adam torzsi Torzsas anchored the comeback with 67 kills across the series and a +1.38 rating.
Astralis Chose Their Opponent
As the higher-seeded team from the draft show, Astralis actively selected MOUZ over Spirit — a decision that will be tested today. All four remaining sides are competing for a share of the $740,000 prize pool, VRS points, and BLAST Frequent Flyer Tokens that will shape late-2026 tournament seeding.
