Team Spirit at BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 feels like Team Falcons at CS Asia Championships 2026. It should win this tournament, losing it would be a real shame. True, the Falcons at least had an excuse: for karrigan it was only the second LAN in the lineup.

Among the participants, in addition to Ilya Osipov’s team m0NESY, were MOUZ and The Mongolz, who were in the top 10 of the Valve rating. In the final, the Falcons lost to Legacy with a score of 1:3.

Previously, Team Spirit advanced to the main stage of BLAST Bounty Summer 2026, defeating 100 Thieves in the match for the exit. The final score of the confrontation is 2:1 (13:11 on Anubis, 4:13 on Mirage and 13:0 on Dust2).
