BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Finals will continue with a quarter-final matchup between The MongolZ and FaZe. The teams will play a Bo3 series in a Single Elimination format, where the winner will advance to the Semi-finals, while the losing roster will end its run at the tournament. FaZe approach the match as a slight favorite according to the odds, but the difference between the teams in the world ranking is minimal, so the series may go all three maps.
BLAST BOUNTY 2026 SEASON 2 FINALS — FORMAT SPECIFICS
The final stage of BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 is played on LAN in a Single Elimination format. All matches except the Grand Final are played as Bo3, while the tournament champion will be decided in a final Bo5 series.
The Quarter-finals are the first round of the playoffs. The winner will continue the fight for the title in the Semi-finals, while the losing team will immediately leave the tournament.
FaZe received the right to choose an opponent and settled on The MongolZ. The European roster is ranked 13th in the world, while the Mongolian team sits in 12th position. Despite this, FaZe are considered the favorites thanks to better current form and strong numbers on Cache and Mirage.
HEAD-TO-HEAD — SLIGHT ADVANTAGE FOR THE MONGOLZ
The presented statistics include only one recent map between the teams. During the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, The MongolZ defeated FaZe on Mirage with a 13:7 score.
This result gives the Mongolian roster a slight psychological advantage, but it does not allow us to speak about complete dominance in the head-to-head matchup. Since then, FaZe’s roster has changed, and the team has received a new game structure with JBOEN, Twistzz, jcobbb, frozen, and Neityu.
CURRENT FORM
FaZe — stable results and a strong Mirage
FaZe approach the quarter-final after a successful stretch. The team defeated DENDELE with a 2:1 score, beat EYEBALLERS twice, and also confidently handled BetBoom — 2:0. The only loss in the latest shown matches was the series against PARIVISION — 1:2.
The best individual form is being shown by JBOEN, who has a 1.21 rating over the last three months. He also has 0.79 kills per round, only 0.56 deaths per round, and a positive round swing of +2.39%. frozen and Twistzz will play an important role, as they need to provide stability in rifle duels. FaZe’s ability to maintain the tempo of the roster’s leaders and convert man advantages will depend on jcobbb and Neityu.
The MongolZ — a dangerous map pool and strong individual players
The MongolZ defeated Wildcard with a 2:0 score, beat HEROIC and Monte — 2:1, but lost to 9z and Natus Vincere. The team’s results remain unstable, but the roster continues to be dangerous in series against opponents with a similar ranking position.
The leader of the roster is 910, who has a 1.17 rating over the last three months. He has 0.77 kills per round and consistently creates impact in key episodes. bLitz and Techno also have a high individual ceiling, while tikuak and DarkMeister are responsible for balance in the team structure. The main advantage of The MongolZ remains their ability to create a high tempo and constantly pressure the opponent’s economy. If the team wins opening duels, it will be difficult for FaZe to control the flow of the maps.
MAP POOL & VETO
Statistics over the last 3 months (The MongolZ | FaZe):
- Cache: — | 100%
- Dust2: 75% | 38%
- Mirage: 40% | 78%
- Inferno: 75% | —
- Nuke: 50% | 67%
- Ancient: 20% | 50%
- Anubis: — | 50%
Expected veto:
- FaZe will almost certainly ban Inferno — one of The MongolZ’s strongest maps, where the Mongolian roster has a 75% win rate, while the European team has not played official matches on it recently.
- The MongolZ are very likely to remove Cache. FaZe have won all four matches on this map, while the Mongolian team practically does not use it in the current map pool.
Likely picks:
- The MongolZ: Dust2 — one of the team’s best maps with a 75% win rate. FaZe have won only 38% of their matches on Dust2, so this is where the Mongolian roster has the biggest statistical advantage.
- FaZe: Mirage — the European roster’s most comfortable map among the available options. The team has a 78% win rate, while The MongolZ’s number is only 40%.
Possible decider map: Nuke looks like the most likely third map. Both teams play it regularly, but FaZe hold a slight advantage — 67% wins compared to 50% for The MongolZ.
KEY DUELS
- 910 vs JBOEN — the main individual duel of the series between the most productive players on both teams.
- bLitz vs frozen — a battle for stability in rifle duels and converting advantages in the middle of rounds.
- Techno vs Twistzz — a matchup between experienced players capable of deciding the outcome of clutches and late-round situations.
PREDICTION
The MongolZ have a good opportunity to take their own pick. The team has a significant advantage over the opponent on Dust2, possesses a strong Inferno, and has already beaten FaZe on Mirage during their previous meeting.
However, FaZe’s current form looks more stable. The European roster has strong numbers on Mirage, Nuke, and Cache, while JBOEN shows the best individual statistics among the participants of the match. FaZe’s advantage is especially noticeable on a potential deciding map.
Projected result: FaZe 2–1 The MongolZ
