The MongolZ Eliminate Team Spirit from BLAST Open Spring 2026 and Advance to the Playoffs

Team Spirit have been eliminated from BLAST Open Spring 2026 in Counter-Strike 2 after losing to The MongolZ in the lower bracket of Group B. The match ended 0–2: Spirit first fell on Nuke (11:13) and then failed to turn the series around on Overpass, where they lost 9:13.

For The MongolZ, this victory was especially significant because the team managed to reach the playoffs even without a coach. The squad delivered a composed performance, played confidently in key rounds, and capitalized on their opponent’s mistakes to close out the series in two maps. Defeating one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament became a major achievement for the team and a clear sign of their competitiveness on the big stage.

For Team Spirit, the loss meant an early end to their tournament run. Boris magixx Vorobyev’s squad exited the event in 7th–8th place and earned $10,000. This result can be considered disappointing for a team that had expected to go much deeper in the bracket and compete for the title.

It is worth noting that FURIA Esports had already been knocked out of the tournament earlier, and now Team Spirit have joined the list of eliminated teams. Meanwhile, The MongolZ continue their fight for the trophy and are becoming one of the most interesting teams to watch in the decisive stage of the event.
