The top eight teams are set, and the BLAST Bounty Season 2 quarter-finals are looking after a unique draft twist. The bottom four seeds — Aurora, Astralis, Virtus.pro, and Liquid — were handed the keys to the bracket, picking their opponents from the remaining pool of CS2 giants.

Team Spirit
The MongolZ
VitalityAurora vs The MongolZ – Mutual Fireworks Incoming?
Aurora had first pick and went straight for the high-tempo chaos of The MongolZ. According to Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli, “It’s a really great team. We like their style, a little bit like us, so it’s going to be a spicy match.”
With both squads favoring aggression and raw mechanical firepower, this matchup could easily turn into a highlight reel for CS2 fans.
Virtus.pro vs Spirit – Unplayed Paths Collide
Virtus.pro took a more calculated route. Rather than rematching Vitality or MOUZ, they chose to clash with the reigning champions, Spirit. Coach Ivan “F_1N” Kochugov broke it down: “Three superteams left. We wanted to pick MongolZ, but we didn’t play Spirit before.”
This sets up a high-stakes meeting between tactical discipline and star-studded explosiveness.
Astralis vs MOUZ – A Familiar Fight Renewed
Astralis locked in a rematch with MOUZ, a team they’ve had tight series against recently. “Our matches against MOUZ have been really close and good games, so we’re feeling pretty confident,” said head coach ruggah.
Will Astralis finally find the edge, or will MOUZ prove too consistent under pressure?
Vitality vs Liquid – Trial by Fire
With all others chosen, Liquid were matched against Vitality — but they’re embracing the challenge. IGL Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek put it in perspective: “It’s a really good game to see how we’re progressing as a team. Our goal is to become consistent, and these games are going to help us.”
This test could define their season arc — sink or swim.
