The first LAN match at a major tournament in 2025 was the encounter between Spirit and HEROIC, where the former almost confidently closed the match in their favor, if not for the comeback on the first map. BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 has just begun, but emotional comebacks have already started.

Pre-match Details

Yesterday was the draw, where HEROIC were the last team to pick and they got Spirit. They were chosen only once out of four matches, and it was Fnatic, with their new roster, who picked them in the first match. So for HEROIC, this choice was obvious, according to the coach.

Match Details

The first map of the match was Anubis, where the first half was completely dominated by HEROIC, who managed to close it with a score of 9:3. Unfortunately, in the second half, they couldn't maintain this round lead, which allowed Spirit to make an incredible comeback and win the game in regulation time with a score of 13:11.

The second was Nuke, where Spirit continued to showcase their skills and closed the map without issues with a score of 13:3 in their favor, allowing them to advance to the semifinals. They will play on Saturday, but their opponent is still unknown.

MVP of the Match

The title of the best player of the match went to Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov, who had another confident and strong match in his career. He is starting this year very confidently, proving that he was one of the best last year.
