In the second round of the playoffs at the BLAST Slam III LAN tournament, a tense series took place between Team Spirit and PARIVISION . In a Bo3 format match, Spirit once again claimed victory with a score of 2:1 and advanced to the next stage of the tournament.
On the first map, Spirit played confidently: Team Spirit quickly gained the upper hand and didn't allow their opponent to make a comeback. The MVP was Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk, who secured key kills in crucial battles. However, on the second map, PARIVISION seized the initiative—Vladimir "No[o]ne" Minenko particularly stood out, taking control of the game. Everything was decided on the third map, where Spirit regrouped and closed the match without much trouble. Once again, Yatoro emerged as the hero of the decisive match.
Thus, Team Spirit advances to the next round of the playoffs where they will face Tidebound. Despite putting up a valiant fight, PARIVISION exits the tournament.
BLAST Slam III takes place from May 6 to May 11, 2025, in a LAN competition format with a prize pool of $1,000,000.
