BLAST Rivals S1 quarter-finals as they happened
- Sonic aces on A hold
- Jimi drops career-high map rating
- MOUZ defeat FaZe 2-0 to set up Falcons rematch
Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz joined the desk for an elimination interview and have an honest review of their showing in Copenhagen.
On Spirit game: "Not good, it took us too long to get going. I'm going home and throwing our entire Dust2 playbook in the garbage because it hasn't looked good."
On Rivals tournament: "I'm not happy with the way we're playing. This is the worst version I've seen of us in 2025, which is a good thing, it's only up from here."

Filip "NEO" Kubski joined the desk after the loss to talk about another sub-par result for FaZe.
On resetting after losing Dust2 to a 1vs4: "It's really difficult to reset, especially after a streak of those games. It's not the first time we're losing like that."
On biggest reason for underperformance: "It's always a mix of a lot of things. We're doing a lot of right things, and it probably [comes down to] mental in the end, but it's hard to say."
On his role in turning it around as a coach: "I've been there in those slumps as a player, but it's something I'm still learning how to deal with as a coach. It's not an easy talk, but it's part of the job. Everyone needs to open up and share their point of view. "
MOUZ are through to the semi-finals of BLAST Rivals after moving past FaZe in two maps. Dust2 was a competitive affair, but Mirage was simply a one-way street, with Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo posting a career-high 2.92 rating.
In the next round, MOUZ will take on Falcons in a rematch of the IEM Melbourne semis, where Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski's troops easily ran out 2-0 winners.
