The late action on Saturday at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 offered up both a thriller and a blowout, as MOUZ and Vitality secured their places in the Group A Upper Final, set to take place on Monday.
The victories also mean that Vitality and MOUZ are the first two teams to book a spot in the playoffs in Lisbon.
MOUZ had to battle their way past Spirit, starting the series with a tough 13-3 loss on Dust2. However, the young squad responded well on Nuke, grinding out a narrow 16-13 win to push it to a decider. On Ancient, the teams traded blows in a long back-and-forth, before MOUZ finally closed it out 25-22.
Vitality, on the other hand, made quick work of Virtus.pro. The French squad looked in full control throughout the series, giving up just 11 rounds across Anubis (13-6) and Inferno (13-5). ZywOo once again led by example, putting in a standout performance to seal the 2-0 sweep.
