Team Spirit stomp The MongolZ to win BLAST Bounty Fall 2025

Team Spirit are BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 champions, instantly following up their IEM Cologne victory with a consecutive tournament win. This time, it was The MongolZ who had the unfortunate task of taking down donk and friends, with Team Spirit simply having far too much firepower across the board for this to be any sort of contest. 3:0 was the scoreline – a clean sweep, with the plucky MongolZ made to wait a little longer for that elusive Tier 1 title.

Spirit make the BLAST Bounty Fall Final look easy

The end scoreline of 3:0 honestly feels grossly unfair to The MongolZ. Their performance throughout the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 Final was pretty good – Team Spirit were just better. All 24 rounds were required on the Nuke opener, with donk proving the difference (as he so often does).

For The MongolZ, map two of Mirage was where they had to prevail. It’s their home turf, the map where they look the best. And despite dragging Team Spirit to overtime, despite donk looking mortal for once, it wasn’t enough. 2:0 in the series, and a mountain that proved too tall for The MongolZ to climb.

Energy is a very real thing in Counter-Strike, and never more so than in best-of-fives. The fruits of The MongolZ’s labors so far were a brutally harsh 2:0 scoreline, and for Ancient, the energy was depleted. Spirit closed it out 13:5 in a sprint to the finish, and secured their status as back-to-back BLAST Bounty champions.

The MongolZ’s wait for a massive trophy goes on and on (and on)

The MongolZ will undoubtedly see this one as a big missed opportunity. In the previous stage, they had done the hard work by taking down the Counter-Strike final boss in Vitality. What a shame, then, that they had to face the other raid boss in donk. That’s not to say The MongolZ should have won here – they were thoroughly outplayed throughout the Final. But they definitely could’ve. And following their loss in the BLAST Austin Major Final, it’s another opportunity for silverware that has slipped through their fingers.

Yes, last year The MongolZ won YaLLa Compass and the Thunderpick World Championship, but in 2025 they’ve been targeting more prestigious prizes. And they’re yet to actually cross the finish line with any of them. It’s all starting to feel a little Eternal Fire. The Turkish roster now playing under Aurora finished runners-up twice at ESL Pro League S20 and the first iteration of BLAST Bounty, missing their window for glory. The MongolZ need to do everything necessary to ensure it’s not history repeating itself going forward.
