Spirit kicks off the year just as they ended 2024: as champions.
The CIS superteam has secured the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals title after defeating Eternal Fire 3-1 in Sunday evening’s grand final.
With this victory, Danil “donk” Kryshkovets and his squad claim the first trophy of 2025, along with $288,125 in prize winnings.
Although Spirit ended on top today, the best-of-five final began with Eternal Fire putting up an early map lead through their overtime victory on Anubis, after an outstanding opening map by Özgür “woxic” Eker.
But that was as far as Eternal Fire could push.
In the three following maps – Nuke, Dust2 and Mirage – the momentum and control shifted completely in favour of the favourites from Spirit, who seemed levels above Eternal Fire, which the scoreboard clearly reflected.
