Spirit overrun FlyQuest to qualify for BLAST Bounty Finals

The Russian team punched their ticket to Copenhagen without a hitch.

With donk leading the charge, Spirit cruise into the Bounty Finals

Spirit have locked up a place at the BLAST Bounty Finals following a 2-0 demolition job of FlyQuest in the second round of the online portion of the $500,000 tournament.

After ending the 2024 season with the Shanghai Major title, the Russian team is exhibiting no signs of slowing down, with Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets putting in a masterclass of a performance with a 2.30 series rating and a whopping 141 ADR.

After an upset win over MIBR in the first round, FlyQuest drew the short straw and were pitted against Spirit after the other teams had already picked their opponents. Playing only their second match with Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău, the Australians were eclipsed by Spirit in every department, never really getting into their stride in this series.

Despite the heavy loss, the Romanian AWPer insisted on focusing on the positives. "We didn't practice that much," he said after the match. "The most important thing was to have fun. I'm returning to pro CS after a long period of not playing."

A quad-kill from donk in the first round of Anubis served as a harbinger of what was to come. The 2024 Player of the Year and Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov combined for 34 frags as Spirit cruised to a 9-3 lead - and the scoreline could have been much worse for FlyQuest if Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas hadn't won a 1vs3 clutch.

More misery was to come for FlyQuest, who couldn't get a round in the second half on Anubis and got on the board on Dust2 seven rounds into the game.

Spirit refused to let up and quickly put the game past their opponents, Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia hammering the final nail into FlyQuest's coffin with a 1v3 clutch in the last round of the series.

If it was MIBR result wouldn't be any different, they have been slot stealers for the past 5 years. Money buff in a money poor region means they can buy into tier 2 every year.

I know you are mad about BR as an AU fan, because until the last match Brazil onwed Australia so hard all the time, but MIBR is #12 in both HLTV and Valve rankings, with pretty good wins on their last tournaments, including's Na'Vi.

FQ 2-0 MIBR with fresh pickup Lucaozy sitting at a sizzling 0.72 rating. The point is MIBR have been a tier 1/2 team with 0 excuses for their mediocrity for the past 10 years. It's like the battle for brazil every year they don't even want to make it out the country. Need I remind you the only trophy MIBR have ever won was with stew on the hard carry.
