m0NESY 's Ace , but with a Twist

3 Kills by Magisk in Pistol Round

Before the match, players were interviewed, where m0NESY and ZywOo were teased to get emotional. However, the players decided to joke and scare the interviewer.

Semifinals
Vitality 2:0 Spirit
In the semifinal match, Vitality defeated Spirit in the BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 tournament. The match ended with a score of 2:0 — on the maps Mirage (13:8) and Nuke (13:9).

After the victory over Spirit, Vitality achieved their 24th consecutive LAN win, surpassing Liquid's 2019 record and becoming the second team in history for consecutive wins. The top spot is still held by NIP from 2012-2013 with 60 consecutive wins.

Comment from social media by Dan "apEX" Madesclaire, captain of Vitality , after the victory over Spirit and about breaking Liquid's record:

Today we made history with 24 consecutive wins, I never thought we could do it. I'm very proud of everyone on the team, I'm sick today, but I have amazing teammates. One more step tomorrow, gg wp Spirit.
Dan "apEX" Madesclaire

The last -2 by apEX, which allowed Vitality to take the final round and win the second map, securing the match.

Falcons 2:0 Mouz
Falcons easily defeated Mouz in the semifinal match of the BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 tournament. The match ended with a score of 2:0 — on the maps Nuke (16:14) and Dust II (13:6).

m0NESY made a beautiful wallbang on mid against the jumping torzsi, hitting him in the head. BLAST published this moment with POV from both players, showing how it looked from their perspectives.

A funny moment occurred in the third round of the second map when NiKo laughingly yelled at his teammate, "You baited me on long, damn you," which amused the commentators.

Analyst Duncan "Thorin" Shields commented on Falcons ' game after the map ended, noting NiKo 's weak form and the contribution of other players in keeping the team in the game.

NiKo has been feeding on this map for a while, but the rest are still keeping Falcons in the game.

BLAST published on their social media the POV moment with a back camera showing how torzsi made -3 with an AWP, as well as the in-game clip.

Brollan made -3 with an MP9, equalizing the score on the map, but the funny moment was when Mouz posted this moment on their X account with the caption "Flying Swede" due to two kills made in the air.

Quarterfinals
After the match, Boris "magixx" Vorobyov from Spirit was asked if he considers his teammates baiters. He ironically replied that it's true but takes it calmly:

Well, they are all baiters. Like... it's true.
Boris "magixx" Vorobyov

He was also asked if it affects his confidence when he's asked to throw a flash for donk at the beginning of the round and go first at the end. He admitted he's used to it, but sometimes it can throw him off:

It's generally fine. I'm used to it, but sometimes it's a bit depressing to go out from short when there's an AWP against you, and that AWP is not w0nderful.
Boris "magixx" Vorobyov

The topic of the best player of the year title wasn't overlooked either. Answering whether donk will receive the title again, magixx joked that it largely depends on him:

If I don't ruin the games, maybe he'll get it. Overall, everything depends on me. If I make three kills, we probably won't move forward. But if I carry again, we win the major.
Boris "magixx" Vorobyov

Finally, Spirit's player was asked about the upcoming match against Vitality . He noted that the team is well-prepared, and they have a chance if they approach the match with the right mindset:

We're ready. It's cool because everyone wants to beat Vitality . If we go into the match with the right mindset and a good game plan, we can beat them. We've already shown a close game against them in Lisbon [BLAST Open Spring 2025 tournament, where they lost to Vitality 2-1 in the semifinals]. Hopefully, we won't play like crap.
Boris "magixx" Vorobyov

After the matches, an interesting moment occurred on the broadcast where commentators, including Pimp , decided to have a water-drinking race.

Spirit 2:0 Wildcard
Spirit easily passed Wildcard in the quarterfinals of the BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 tournament. The match ended with a score of 2:0 — on the maps Anubis (13:9) and Dust2 (13:3).

Three Kills by Zont1x

After the map, an interesting photo appeared on Wildcard's social media, showing sonic without arms, with Wildcard captioning it: "He really outdid Spirit without arms."

After that, dupreeh tried to recreate this moment, but it was very cringeworthy.

After one of the won rounds by Wildcard, JBa stood up from his chair and showed Spirit some strange movements.

After the match, Filip "NEO" Kubski was asked what the team lacks to close rounds, to which he explained that it's a combination of many factors, but ultimately it comes down to mentality:

We do a lot of things right. We had a good streak of won rounds on this map [Dust2 — the first map of the match]. But overall, I think it's all a combination, and probably in the end — mentality. It's hard to say exactly.
Filip "NEO" Kubski

He was also asked how he copes with the role of a coach in tough times, considering he's experienced similar slumps as a player before. He admitted it's his first such crisis in his coaching career, and he's still learning how to deal with it:

I've been in such situations as a player. But it's the first time I'm facing this as a coach. I'm still learning and developing, trying to figure out how to handle it properly. These are not easy conversations, but ultimately — it's part of the job. Everyone needs to open up, discuss, and share their perspective on the reasons for the loss. It's a process. It's a tough time right now.
Filip "NEO" Kubski

Mouz 2:0 FaZe Clan
Mouz confidently defeated FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals of the BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 tournament with a score of 2:0. The match concluded on the maps Dust2 (13:11) and Mirage (13:2).

Spinx 2 Kills

Mouz commented on Jimpphat 's score on Twitter, posting a very confident photo with him in the spotlight.

On the second map, Mouz started strong again, leading 8:0. But the most interesting part was Jimpphat 's 17-0 KD score, while FaZe had a total of 9.

After the map, Mohan "launders" Govindasamy commented on FaZe's fake comeback, comparing the loss to Complexity's.

FaZe loses like Complexity, and it's not even EliGE's fault.

Incredible Clutch xertioN 1v4

After Mouz reached the 12th round, the commentator "switched sides" again and removed the FaZe jersey.

After rain 's clutch and FaZe's good defense, they brought the game to 8:8. After winning the 15th round, when FaZe tied the score, one of the commentators "switched sides" by putting on a FaZe jersey, and it was amusing.
