Map results

Dust2

Spirit dominated Dust2 13-5 in a comprehensive opening map. The 8-round winning margin reflected complete tactical and individual control from Spirit across both halves. tN1R's 1.52 series rating was the primary individual driver of Spirit's Dust2 dominance - his entry impact giving Spirit the first-contact advantages that compounded into structural round wins across the entire map. The result confirmed Spirit's lower bracket recovery - from donk's 0.30 Mirage career-low against Falcons to a dominant Dust2 Quarter-final performance - was complete.

Mirage

Despite MOUZ's pre-tournament 82% Mirage win rate being their primary map-specific asset, Spirit controlled Mirage 13-8. The defining moment of the series arrived when donk executed a massive triple entry that shut down MOUZ's defensive setup and closed the series. His triple-entry reflected a player who had fully reset from his Falcons career-low - his aggressive entry system delivering the individual decisive play at the highest-pressure moment of the Quarter-final. MOUZ's inability to find their Mirage rhythm extended their losing streak against Spirit to 6 consecutive matches.

Standout performances

tN1R posted a 1.52 series rating with a 36-21 K-D and 95.8 ADR - the highest individual rating of the match. His sustained output across both Dust2 and Mirage gave Spirit the consistent individual scoring platform that their tactical system converted into structural map control. His 1.52 Quarter-final rating matches the level of his opening round Liquid performance - confirming his consistency as Spirit's most reliable individual performer at IEM Rio 2026.

donk posted a 1.12 series rating with a 29-23 K-D and 96.7 ADR - his triple-entry Mirage closer the individual decisive moment of the series. His 96.7 ADR was the highest of any player in the match - reflecting a player whose damage output per round exceeded his kill total, confirming his broader round impact went beyond individual scoring. His Quarter-final recovery from the 0.30 Mirage career-low against Falcons reflects the individual psychological resilience that Spirit's deep tournament runs depend on.

zont1x posted a 1.07 series rating with a 21-16 K-D and 82.3 ADR - a measured contribution that gave Spirit the third individual scoring platform needed to prevent MOUZ from focusing their defensive reads entirely on tN1R and donk.
