Leonid \u201cchopper\u201d Vishnyakov\u2019s squad closed out the series 3-0 and gave their opponents virtually no chance in the tournament\u2019s deciding match. For Spirit, this was one of their strongest performances of the season. The team not only took revenge for previous losses to Falcons earlier in 2026, but also reinforced their status as one of the biggest favorites on the world stage heading into the summer part of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Spirit outclassed Falcons on every map<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_392758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-392758\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-392758\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-8-1536x1025.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-392758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by PGL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The series started on Dust2 \u2014 Spirit\u2019s map pick.

Spirit comfortably secured a 13-7 win to move to match point.<\/p>\n<p>Ancient became the final blow. Falcons once again failed to produce a stable offense, while Spirit perfectly utilized aggressive rotations and strong retake setups. After another confident CT side, donk and company closed the map 13-10 and completed a clean sweep in the grand final.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_392756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-392756\" style=\"width: 581px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-392756\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_419.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"581\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_419.webp 581w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot_419-300x177.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-392756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Player statistics for the match \/\/ taken from HLTV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>donk dominates another big final<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_392759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-392759\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-392759\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picuttes-25-1536x1025.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-392759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by PGL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The biggest star of the series was once again Danil \u201cdonk\u201d Kryshkovets.
