Team Spirit and MOUZ will meet in Sunday's best-of-five grand final at the BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 tournament in Attard, Malta.

Team Spirit outlasted FaZe Clan 2-1 and MOUZ rallied past Astralis to win by the same score in Saturday's semifinals of the Counter-Strike 2 competition.

The eight teams reached the bracket-style finals advanced from a pool of 32 clubs in a closed qualifier. Of the $740,000 prize pool, $410,000 was awarded to participants in the closed qualifier. The champion will also earn three BLAST Frequent Flyer Tokens, while the other seven teams will collect one.

Team Spirit sandwiched a 13-6 win on Dust II and a 13-11 victory on Anubis around a 13-9 loss to FaZe Clan on Cache. Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov of Russia led Team Spirit with 49 kills and a 1.24 match rating.

After Astralis opened with a 13-6 win on Ancient, MOUZ responded with back-to-back 13-9 triumphs on Mirage and Dust II. Adam "torzsi" Torzsas of Hungary paced MOUZ with 54 kills and a 1.29 match rating.
