The BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 Finals roster is now set, with Spirit emerging as the only top-10 team to advance from the online qualifiers to the LAN quarter-finals.
Notably absent from the finals are several heavyweight contenders. Falcons, Vitality, and FURIA all crashed out during the online stage, failing to secure their spots in Malta. Freshly rebuilt rosters from Aurora and G2 also couldn't make the cut, leaving MOUZ—ranked 11th globally—as the second-best team heading to the venue.
The MongolZ found better fortune following their recent roster adjustments and successfully qualified for the event. FaZe will compete on LAN seeking vital VRS points after missing out on the Cologne Major.
Astralis, now working with new coach Filip "NEO" Kubski, punched their ticket alongside paiN and 3DMAX. Liquid made a powerful impression with their revamped lineup featuring new in-game leader Johnny "JT" Theodosiou and AWPer Georgi "Jorko" Mitev, defeating both Vitality and G2 with clean 2-0 scorelines.
The quarter-final matchups will be revealed during a live draft show taking place in Malta later this week. The competition promises intriguing storylines with Spirit heavily favored but surrounded by hungry challengers looking to upset the rankings.
