Final score: Spirit 1–2 Vitality (13–11, 16–19, 13–16)
Vitality survived one of the wildest games of the year, outlasting Spirit in a grueling three-overtime, 88-round marathon Quarter-Final.
The match swung back and forth with huge individual plays mixed with a few rough moments. It surely delivered pure CS2 cinema. The highlight of the night was donk's absurd 1v5 with a Galil, a moment destined for the history books. Only the best player in the world pulls of f something like that to save the map and drag a doomed 9–13 scoreline into overtime.
Mirage began with a dominant start from Vitality, and despite 11–1 entry kills in their favor, Spirit fought back to a 7–5 half. After Spirit claimed the second-half pistol, it became a neck and neck race to the finish.
Once overtime hit, Vitality’s big-game composure finally shone through. Anchor holds, clutch control, and calm conversions in the chaos tilted the series their way, sending them into the BLAST Rivals semifinals and handing Spirit a heartbreaking elimination. For Spirit, it’s a bitter exit after a strong run — for Vitality, this is exactly the kind of gritty win that can fuel a full playoff run
Betting review
Our singular bet on cs2bet.io predictions for Vitality hit. I know some of you took more 1 map behind. It wasn’t smooth sailing since Vitality had a lot of struggles to close out maps.
Spirit seem to rely too much right now on donk’s crazy performances. The new addition tN1R has not impressed in many games, and sh1ro can’t find a way to contribute big numbers.
