BLAST Premier Open Spring 2026 is already delivering exactly what CS2 fans crave — high-pressure rounds, razor-sharp executions, and momentum swings that completely reshape series narratives. And if the matches proved anything, it’s this: no lead is safe, and no favorite is untouchable.
Open Spring 2026Netherlands
Vitality
Natus VincereGroup Stage Day 2 – Updated Results
Vitality 2–0 9z
A textbook performance from Vitality. Their map control and utility usage completely shut down 9z’s attempts to gain early momentum, leaving little room for any upset.
The MongolZ 2–0 MOUZ
One of the biggest shocks of the round. The MongolZ imposed relentless pressure from the first gun round, winning key aim duels and never allowing MOUZ to stabilize their economy.
Team Spirit 2–0 Team Liquid
Pure dominance. Spirit dictated the pace throughout both maps, combining disciplined defaults with explosive entries that left Liquid constantly on the back foot.
PARIVISION 2–1 Ninjas in Pyjamas
A tightly contested series where margins were razor-thin. PARIVISION’s superior late-round decision-making proved decisive, especially in high-pressure clutch situations.

Expert Predictions
NRG vs B8
B8 come in with better structure and more consistent mid-round decision-making. NRG’s aggression remains risky without proper conversion.
Prediction: B8 to win
FaZe Clan vs TYLOO
FaZe already showed vulnerability, but against TYLOO they should regain control. Expect stronger CT setups and fewer sloppy rounds.
Prediction: FaZe Clan to win
Falcons Esports vs Natus Vincere
This is a true tactical clash. Falcons’ structure vs NAVI’s adaptability. If NAVI find early reads, this becomes very close.
Prediction: Falcons Esports to win
FURIA vs Aurora Gaming
Aurora already shocked one favorite — can they do it again? FURIA’s pace is relentless, but Aurora thrive in chaotic aim battles.
Prediction: FURIA to win
Ninjas in Pyjamas vs Team Liquid
Both teams struggled, but NiP’s experience gives them more stability in late rounds.
Prediction: Ninjas in Pyjamas to win
MOUZ vs 9z
After a disappointing loss, MOUZ should bounce back hard. Their structure heavily outclasses 9z.
Prediction: MOUZ to win
PARIVISION vs Team Spirit
Spirit look like one of the most complete teams in the tournament. PARIVISION will need near-perfect execution to compete.
Prediction: Team Spirit to win
The MongolZ vs Vitality
The ultimate test — aggression vs elite structure. Vitality’s system should absorb pressure, but MongolZ can’t be underestimated.
Prediction: Vitality to win
