Team Spirit and The MongolZ will clash in the grand final of the BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals, where the fate of the championship title will be decided. Spirit enter the match as the clear favorite after their triumph at IEM Cologne 2025 and an ongoing winning streak, while The MongolZ aim to deliver an upset, relying on their aggressive playstyle and the form of their key players. Who will prevail in this best-of-five battle?
Current Form of the Teams
Spirit
Over the last three months, Team Spirit have played 39 maps and won 31 — an impressive display of consistency. In August, they became the champions of IEM Cologne 2025, proving they are in peak form, and they now confidently move through the BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals. Their current five-match winning streak against top-tier opponents (G2, MOUZ twice, Passion UA, and Virtus.pro) further underlines their dominance.
The MongolZ
The Mongolian squad has played 44 maps in the last three months and claimed 28 victories. At IEM Cologne 2025, they finished in a respectable 5th–8th place, showing they can compete with the world’s elite. At BLAST Bounty, they continued their upward trajectory, winning four of their last five matches, including a crucial revenge victory against Vitality. Their only defeat came against NAVI, but even there The MongolZ looked competitive.
Map Pool Analysis
In a bo5 format, map veto and selection will play a decisive role.
- First ban: Spirit typically remove Inferno, while The MongolZ often ban Train.
- Spirit’s first pick: Most likely Ancient, where they boast an 87.5% win rate and have already delivered strong wins.
- The MongolZ’s first pick: Probably Mirage (played 12 times, 75% win rate), a map that perfectly fits their aggressive style.
- Spirit’s second pick: Dust2 seems the logical choice, where they maintain a solid 75% win rate.
- The MongolZ’s second pick: Likely Nuke, where they shine with an 80% win rate, hoping to catch Spirit off guard.
- Decider: Most likely Overpass — Spirit’s strongest map with a 100% win rate. However, the match may not even reach that stage.
Head-to-Head and Key Players
In the past six months, the teams have met only once — at ESL Pro League Season 21, where Spirit secured a 2-0 victory (Anubis 6:13, Dust2 11:13). This gives Spirit a psychological edge going into the final.
For Spirit, the main stars are donk, with a phenomenal rating of 1.56, and sh1ro, with 1.25. Their consistency and clutch ability will be crucial.
For The MongolZ, senzu (1.25 rating) and 910 (1.21 rating) are the leaders, recently putting on an excellent performance against Vitality that proved they can break through even the toughest defenses.
Match Prediction
Team Spirit enter the grand final as the clear favorite: not only do they have momentum and a winning streak, but also a much deeper map pool. donk continues to dominate on every map, while sh1ro’s experience brings calmness in the most tense rounds.
The MongolZ, despite their progress and strong individual showings, appear less adaptable in a bo5 setting. Their chances lie in securing a victory on Mirage and perhaps surprising on Nuke. However, Spirit’s overall strength and balance should see them through.
Prediction: Team Spirit to win 3-1. The MongolZ may take a map, but it will not be enough to derail Spirit’s championship run.
