Spirit Leads the Pack as BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Finals Team List Finalized

In a surprising turn of events, Spirit is the only top-10 team to qualify for the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Finals, which will take place in Malta. The team secured its spot after successfully navigating the online stage, while other high-profile teams such as Falcons, Vitality, and FURIA were eliminated before reaching the LAN quarter-finals.

The competition also saw new iterations of Aurora and G2 fail to progress, leaving MOUZ, currently ranked 11th in the world, as the second-highest seeded team entering the finals. The MongolZ, despite recent roster changes, managed to qualify, while FaZe is looking to earn vital VRS points on LAN after missing out on the Cologne Major.

Additionally, Astralis, under the guidance of new coach Filip "NEO" Kubski, secured a spot, along with paiN and 3DMAX. Liquid made headlines by defeating both Vitality and G2 with a commanding 2-0 performance, bolstered by their new in-game leader Johnny "JT" Theodosiou and AWPer Georgi "Jorko" Mitev.

The matchups for the finals will be revealed during a live draft show in Malta later this week, with paiN holding the first pick, followed by FaZe, 3DMAX, and Liquid.
