BLAST Rivals Season 1 playoff bracket set

FaZe and MOUZ will face off in the first quarter-final.

The playoff bracket for BLAST Rivals Season 1 has been set following the conclusion of the group stage, which culminated with Falcons edging past Spirit in a three-map series to earn a bye to the semi-final.

The IEM Melbourne finalists will face the winner of the first quarter-final match between FaZe and MOUZ, the former of which limped past FlyQuest in Group B's lower bracket to reach the playoffs while the latter was reverse-swept by Vitality in the upper bracket.

The pair last faced in the group stage of PGL Cluj-Napoca, where Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's side emerged the victors to make the playoffs, only for MOUZ to recover and complete a run to the title.

Spirit will lament their loss to Falcons in Group B's upper bracket, both for the fashion in which the series ended and because it puts them on the same side of the bracket as an indomitable-looking Vitality.

However, the Shanghai Major champions will first have to fight past Wildcard in the quarter-finals, a team they decisively beat in a best-of-one in China but had only scraped by a few months prior at ESL Pro League, needing Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets to set a new (and now broken) kill record in CS2 to edge out the win.
