G2 to face Spirit in BLAST Bounty round two

huNter-'s troops went with Spirit despite being the first to pick their opponents.

Day four of BLAST Bounty came to an end with HEROIC defeating Complexity to keep the favorites' undefeated streak at the tournament going, as the result means that zero bounties have been claimed across the first stage of the tournament.

The matchups for the next round have also been determined via the draft system, with the recap available at the bottom of this article.

The day began with ENCE putting up a valiant fight against The MongolZ, only to fall short on the final map.

The MongolZ overturned a slow start and ran riot on the decider, winning 12 rounds in a row to close the series and stay alive in BLAST Bounty.

FlyQuest missed an opportunity to put Aurora under pressure in their series, taking the Turks to OT on Inferno only to wane badly.

Aurora got the job done with ease on Nuke, smacking FlyQuest around with numerous aggressive manoeuvres to seal a straightforward win.

---

Vitality returned to form after their Cologne disappointment by demolishing NRG in a two-map series.

Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut put up a 1.99 rating on Mirage before Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire took over on Dust2 (1.98) to help Vitality lose just nine rounds in the series, which showed the gulf in class between the two teams.

The final match of round one was HEROIC vs. Complexity, with the former coming into the match fielding their academy AWPer Rasmus "⁠Scr0b⁠" Poulsen.

Both teams won their map picks, which meant an Overpass decider, where Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou's 16 kills led Complexity to eight rounds at the half. Andrey "⁠tN1R⁠" Tatarinovich and Scr0b took over on their CT side, however, and led HEROIC to a 13-11 victory alongside a spot in the next stage.

The round two draft began with the ninth seed, G2, choosing Spirit as their opponent despite having the chance to go against some lower-ranked squads, with the team's GM Petar "⁠peca⁠" Marković saying that they want to take down one of the biggest names ahead of the LAN final.

HEROIC were next in line and went with Aurora before Virtus.pro picked FaZe as their opponents.

The rest of the picks went according to expectations, which meant Legacy were given the tough test of facing Vitality as the last team remaining. The Brazilians are one of only three teams to beat ZywOo and company in 2025, however, after defeating them at the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
