Spirit secured back-to-back event victories with a win at BLAST Open Porto under coach Boris “magixx” Vorobiev. Danil “donk” Kryshkovets received another HLTV MVP award, edging teammate Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov for the honour. The Porto final completed revenge over MOUZ, who had beaten Spirit at BLAST Bounty S2 earlier this season. Donk said the roster is not yet at its top level and pointed to their next tournament in Katowice as the next test.

• What happened: Spirit won BLAST Open Porto for a second straight event under coach Boris “magixx” Vorobiev; Danil “donk” Kryshkovets took HLTV MVP and the team beat MOUZ in the final.
• Why it matters: The result gives Spirit consecutive tournament titles and adds an MVP to donk’s résumé, while also removing MOUZ as the only top team they hadn’t beaten this season.
• Context: Spirit had previously lost to MOUZ at BLAST Bounty S2 earlier in the season; donk said the team has beaten the other top teams but does not consider them at peak yet.
• What next: Spirit’s next scheduled event is the ESL Pro League in Katowice in one month; how they will perform there is not yet confirmed.
