BLAST Rivals Spring 2025: Grand Final Preview – Falcons vs. Vitality

BBG News

A rematch of an epic Melbourne grand final awaits us at BLAST Rivals Spring 2025.

The climactic showdown of BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 has arrived, as Falcons face off against Vitality – two of the top CS:GO teams currently competing!

In Melbourne last week, they completed all five maps. Could an additional six-hour thriller unfold here in Denmark? The competition begins tonight at 4pm Central European Summer Time – here is our prediction for the BLAST Rivals Spring finale!

Vitality seeks fifth-straight tournament win but Falcons aren’t far behind: Preview

Direct Comparison: Falcons lost to Vitality with a score of 2-5.
Previous Encounter: In the match held at IEM Melbourne, Vitality edged out Falcons with a close victory of 3-2 (13-2, 12-16, 13-9, 10-13, 22-20).

Once more, two teams from the CS2 scene are set to clash in what promises to be a thrilling final at BLAST Rivals Spring. Given their past encounter, this match is shaping up to be another can’t-miss event as Falcons aim to avenge their loss against Vitality, who outperformed them in Melbourne last week.

The winning streak of Vitality currently shatters all contemporary records, although they haven’t quite reached the all-time Counter-Strike record of 60 consecutive victories yet. However, at present, it seems challenging to find a team that can halt the momentum of this French organization.

In most matches during BLAST Rivals Spring, Vitality typically gives up fewer than ten rounds per map. If it weren’t for MOUZ winning a map in the group stage, the number of rounds conceded would have been significantly lower. The exceptional pairing of Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Robin “ropz” Kool consistently puts up impressive statistics on the server.

In Melbourne, each member wasn’t as dominant as they had been, but it mirrored an earlier situation in Australia before the final where Vitality’s kill distribution was extremely high, meaning no one player stood out. However, ZywOo significantly increased his performance in their five-map series – a trend we anticipate continuing tonight.

In a more straightforward manner: The Falcons, like their competitors, easily advanced to the championship match following an untroubled group stage. This time, MOUZ proved to be a greater challenge, but the organization backed by Saudi Arabia managed to keep them at bay on Dust 2. Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov (1.32 rating) and Nikola “NiKo” Kovac (1.26 rating) were the standouts, but they’ll need to step up their performance if they aim to break Vitality’s current dominance.

Additionally, it’s evident that other Falcons players also play significant roles; just like René “TeSeS” Madsen who was instrumental in the Falcons’ loss to Vitality last week, Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski is capable of dominating a map or two.

Predict a nearly identical set of maps as seen in the Melbourne final. Vitality is likely to win Inferno easily since it has been their strong suit in series this year, so it’s up to the Falcons to counter again. Regardless of the order, Nuke will be a map worth watching if you had to choose only one.

Instead of suggesting a single map, why not catch the entire series this weekend in Copenhagen? It promises to be an exciting conclusion that will make your weekend truly spectacular! The action kicks off at 4pm CEST on May 4th.
