MOUZ subdue Spirit to win BLAST Bounty S2

Spinx had a great individual showing in the grand final with a 1.54-rated performance.

MOUZ are the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 champions after beating Spirit 3-1 in Malta. "Nobody beats MOUZ eight times in a row," Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman joked on the official broadcast after the match, as he relished breaking the winning streak Spirit had against them.

It's the team's first trophy since PGL Cluj-Napoca 17 months ago, and represents a brilliant start to life in their first event with NXT old boy Oldřich "⁠PR⁠" Nový in his return to the Hamburg-based organization.

Spirit were shells of themselves on the first two maps, with Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets as out-of-sorts as he was against FaZe in the semi-final outside of a neat 1v3 on map one. Mirage was the first time that the 19-year-old has ever finished five maps in a row with a negative K/D as MOUZ stormed into a 2-0 lead.

But on Ancient, a map Spirit had a seven-map winning streak on pre-final, donk was back to his best to force a map four on Nuke as his side came back from 6-9 down to win 13-6.

donk 's frustration grew visible in the first half of Nuke, when he put fist to desk as MOUZ cruised to a 6-4 lead on the attack before trading rounds to end 7-5 at the switch courtesy of a Five-seveN triple by Boris "⁠magixx⁠" Vorobiev to turn a 3v5 in the final round.

Spirit tied it up after the half, 7-7, and the two teams brawled back-and-forth with the map still at a stalemate after 20 rounds. Finally, MOUZ got a grip on the defense and hit map point after a quad-kill by Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi against pistols. Victory ensued the following round against a low buy.

Spinx's moment

Spinx was the motor powering MOUZ 's victory as he topped the board on every map in the grand final. It started with a 1.91-rated Dust2, followed by a 1.86 on Mirage to help get his team up 2-0.

The Israeli rifler had a more subdued 1.16 on the 9-13 loss on Ancient, and then had a 1.41 on Nuke to close out proceedings and make it a 1.54 rating for the series.

To go with that 1.54 rating, Spinx led the serveri with a +4.97% round swing, 89.3 ADR, 81.9% KAST, and 78 kills — 15 more than the next player.
