Spirit defeated Natus Vincere with a score of 2-0 (Dust2 13-7, Anubis 13-6) in the quarterfinals of Blast Open Lisbon, marking their third victory against Aleksi's lineup "⁠ALEKSIB⁠" Virolainen in 2025.

However, the challenge will not be easier for Danil "⁠Donk⁠" Kryshkovets and his teammates, when they will face Vitality's 14 consecutive victories on Saturday to win tickets to the final.

Spirit's Dust2 forte map has proven to be an accurate choice from the beginning, when they deploy a strong attack strategy into the Bombite B to gain an advantage of 8-4 after the first half. Navi showed signs of prosperity, but Triple Kill with P250 of Boris "⁠magixx⁠" Vorobiev has extinguished all hope of flipping, helping Spirit win 13-7.

In the second game, Navi suddenly chose Anubis even though he only played this map once in the past three months. The lack of practice was clearly revealed when they were 1-5 ahead and could only shorten the score to 4-8 before Spirit ended the match with a score of 13-6, thereby winning tickets to the semi-finals.

B1T achieved the lowest rating on Lan
Valeriy "⁠b1t⁠" vakhovskiy, one of Navi's most stable alchors, has just had a forgotten performance with a 0.79 - lowest rating in his orchid career.

Navi's decline is even more evident when Mihai "⁠im⁠" Ivan is the person with the highest rating of the team but only reaches 0.95. Meanwhile, Spirit has the shine of both Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov and Donk, making the game too different.

"We could not find the rhythm to control the game. It feels like we are always slower than two steps, almost unable to connect the rounded rounds together. They simply play better than us," Aleksib shared in the interview after the match.
