Team Spirit looks like it’s ready to reclaim the top spot in Counter-Strike esports, but it will need to beat The MongolZ in the BLAST Bounty Fall finals to really cement itself.

The post-Austin Major break has not been kind to Team Vitality. After winning almost every tournament it played in throughout 2025, the team has stumbled in the semifinals of both IEM Cologne and BLAST Bounty Fall, and it was The MongolZ knocked Vitality out of this tournament. Will the Mongolian team be able to get past Spirit to post its first tournament win of the year?
Esports betting tip: The retooled Team Spirit is hot right now and looks ready to plant its flag atop the competitive scene once again.
My Team Spirit vs The MongolZ pick: Team Spirit wins 3-0 (3.40 at GG.BET)
Team Vitality was the favorite to win BLAST Bounty Fall 2025, but the team wound up taking a convincing loss from The MongolZ. While much of that is owed to an awkward showing from Vitality that included a Dan “apEX” Madesclaire meltdown, The MongolZ most certainly earned their win.
Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold in particular has asserted himself as one of the world’s best rifles and Usukhbayar “910” Banzragch showing that he’s one of the game’s most underrated AWPers. The team is firing on all cylinders right now.

It’s still probably not enough to beat Team Spirit, though.
Spirit took first place in IEM Cologne in absolutely dominant fashion, beating MOUZ 3-0. That wasn’t an isolated incident, and that success has continued into BLAST Bounty Fall 2025. Though it took map losses in the online qualifiers, the team has looked exceptional in the LAN portion of the tournament.
Ivan “zweih” Gogin in particular has started to fully click in the Spirit roster, including a monster performance in the semifinals against MOUZ. Couple that with a still-dominant Danil “donk” Kryshkovets and it’s a recipe for disaster for The MongolZ.
