Mirage Becomes the Most Popular Map at BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1

Mirage proved to be the most played map during the LAN finals of the BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 Counter-Strike 2 tournament. Statistics from HLTV.org indicate that teams played on Mirage five times, placing it firmly at the top of the match count in this event's decisive stage.

Dust2 and Inferno also squeezed into the top three most popular maps, with four matches played on each. Nuke ranked fourth, showing in two games. The remaining maps of the pool were used much more rarely, underlining the dominance of classic battlegrounds throughout the playoff stage of this tournament.

The LAN-finals of BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 have taken place from January 22 to 25 in the BLAST studio in Malta. The total prize pool reached $500,000. In the grand final PARIVISION convincingly defeated Falcons with a 3:0 score and became a champion. Nikola “NiKo” Kovač was recognized as the best player of the event for his outstanding individual game.
