The best team of 2025 has started the new year in dominant fashion. Vitality <\/strong>have reached the semi-finals of the season\u2019s first tournament, BLAST Bounty 2026<\/a><\/strong>, where they will face Falcons <\/strong>in one of the most exciting rivalries in recent Counter-Strike 2 <\/a>history. This time, a spot in the Grand Final is on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last time these two teams met was at BLAST Rivals Season 2<\/a><\/strong> last year, where Falcons secured a convincing 2-0 victory. Vitality <\/strong>will be eager to take revenge, especially since they personally chose Falcons <\/strong>as their semi-final opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Form & Key Players Ahead of the Semi-Final<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vitality – The Reigning Kings Showing No Signs of Slowing Down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After ending last year as the best team in the world with a double-digit trophy count, Vitality <\/strong>has carried that momentum into 2026. They remain undefeated in maps so far and have been dismantling opponents exactly as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZywOo <\/strong>is currently the third-highest rated player of the tournament with a 1.31 rating<\/strong>, sitting just behind molodoy <\/strong>(FURIA) and m0NESY <\/strong>(Falcons). Meanwhile, ropz showed excellent form in the quarter-final against GamerLegion<\/strong>, finishing just behind ZywOo <\/strong>with 29 kills <\/strong>across the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the lineup also looks sharp, coordinated, and confident. Vitality <\/strong>appear more than ready to start the year by lifting another trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falcons – Battling Adversity with Star Power and Resilience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Team Falcons – Ilya “m0NESY<\/strong>” Osipov<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Falcons <\/strong>faced serious setbacks heading into the playoffs. Star player kyousuke <\/strong>was ruled out due to visa issues<\/a>, and head coach zonic <\/strong>had to step away for family reasons<\/a>. Despite these challenges, the Falcons <\/strong>advanced to the quarter-finals with a dominant 2-0 win over Liquid<\/strong>, even while using a stand-in from their academy roster and playing without a coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

m0NESY <\/strong>has been the standout player of the tournament so far, posting an incredible 1.61 rating <\/strong>and completely carrying Falcons against Liquid<\/strong>. NiKo <\/strong>followed closely behind, proving once again that he can deliver under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Falcons <\/strong>are clearly in competitive form, the absence of a key player and their coach could make it difficult to maintain consistency against a team as structured and powerful as Vitality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
