BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals Quarterfinal Matchups Revealed

The organizers of BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals have determined the opening matchups of the tournament’s offline stage. The quarterfinals were formed after a live draft show in Malta, where the four lower-seeded teams chose their opponents from among the higher seeds.

The first match of the final stage will be played between Liquid and Spirit. For Liquid, this will be the toughest challenge after an unexpectedly strong performance in the online stage, where the team defeated Vitality and G2. Now, the roster led by JT as captain and featuring new AWPer Jorko will face one of the main favorites of the tournament.

3DMAX chose MOUZ as their opponent. French team representative Damien wasiNk Dufour noted that the choice was connected to the map pool: according to him, 3DMAX had considered MOUZ a convenient option from the very beginning.

Another matchup will feature FaZe against The MongolZ. FaZe emphasized the importance of additional VRS points and noted that the team would have an extra day to prepare. According to the draft participants, the absence of The MongolZ coach maaRaa was not a key factor in the choice.

The final quarterfinal will be paiN against Astralis. paiN captain Rodrigo biguzera Bittencourt explained the pick by saying that Astralis often chooses Ancient, while the Brazilian team does not play that map. He also recalled that paiN had already beaten Astralis in their most recent head-to-head meeting.
