MOUZ head in as favourites, but Astralis’ revamped Danish lineup under HooXi has been building momentum this summer. The MongolZ and Aurora are both seen as underdogs, yet they’ve shown they can take down bigger names.

Vitality are expected to handle Liquid, but if the North Americans play it smart, an upset isn’t impossible. The final match sees Spirit take on Virtus.pro in a high-stakes all-Russian clash, and both sides are known for thriving in knockout situations.

With big money, world ranking points, and bragging rights on the line, the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025 quarter-finals promise high-intensity CS2 action from the very first round.
