Spirit's Own 13-0 Nightmare: Nuke Shutout vs Krabeni-less FUT — But donk-led Spirit Recover 2-1 (Cache/Ancient)

Spirit's Own 13-0 Nightmare: Nuke Shutout vs Krabeni-less FUT — But donk-led Spirit Recover 2-1 (Cache/Ancient)

Twenty-four hours before FURIA inflicted the first-ever 13-0 on Vitality, Team Spirit suffered the same indignity at BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 in Hong Kong — losing Nuke 13-0 to FUT Esports, a team playing without starter Aulon "Krabeni" Fazlija and featuring coach András "coolio" Fercsák as stand-in.

Per HLTV's match report, the Nuke result was the first 0-13 loss of donk's CS2 career and the first in Spirit's organisational CS2 history.

How the series ran

  • Cache — Spirit won. zont1x anchored B; sh1ro and donk topped the server.
  • Nuke — FUT 13-0 Spirit. coolio and his unit shut down every Spirit attempt. The map ended Spirit's clean 13-0 record for the entire CS2 era.
  • Ancient — Spirit won. tN1R and donk took control of mid-round reads; zont1x's CT-side impact snuffed the FUT comeback.

Player standouts

Spirit:

  • donk: 1.59 series rating, 52-36 K-D
  • tN1R: 0.95 — key on Ancient
  • zont1x, sh1ro: anchored CT sides on Cache/Ancient

FUT:

  • SunPayus: 1.18 rating
  • dem0n: 1.08 (riding the Nuke 13-0 highs)
  • coolio: 30-37, 0.90 rating across the series

donk's reaction

Asked post-match, donk brushed off the Nuke result with his trademark deadpan: "It was just a really bad T side." On his own form, he added: "I don't know, who cares to be honest?"

Context — FUT without Krabeni, SunPayus just restored

FUT entered the series with their newly-restored lineup (SunPayus replacing cmtry, confirmed in PGL's November 9 Singapore Major roster reveal) but without Krabeni. coolio — the coach — stepped in to make five. The fact that this configuration produced a 13-0 against Spirit is extraordinary given FUT's VRS drama in the weeks leading up to the Major.

Bracket

Spirit advance to face the winner of MOUZ vs G2 in the Group A upper final. FUT fall into the elimination round.
