MOUZ beat Spirit 3-1 to take BLAST Bounty Season 2 in Malta
The Grand Final at BLAST Studios paid out $226,563 to the winners, with Spinx named MVP and every top-four side collecting an identical $40,000 club share.
MOUZ won the BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 Grand Final on 2 August, beating Spirit 3-1 in a best-of-five at BLAST Studios in Malta to close out the second season of the year's Bounty circuit.
Lotan "Spinx" Giladi took MVP honours for the winning side.
The money
The prize split is steeply weighted toward the champion. MOUZ banked $226,563 for first, roughly four times the $57,188 Spirit collected as runner-up. FaZe and Astralis shared the 3-4th bracket but not the cheque: FaZe took $28,125 and Astralis $23,125, a $5,000 gap between two teams eliminated at the same stage.
On top of that, each of the four sides received an identical $40,000 club share. For Astralis that payment is larger than their competitive winnings — $40,000 against $23,125 — which is worth noting for anyone reading tournament results as a proxy for team revenue. At the bottom of the top four, the participation money now outweighs the placement money.
Why the format matters for pricing
Bo5 grand finals behave differently from the Bo3s that fill the earlier rounds. A 3-1 scoreline means MOUZ dropped a map and still won comfortably on series terms, which is the kind of result that separates map-level and series-level markets: a bettor correct on the series could easily have been wrong on a clean sweep, and map handicaps priced off Bo3 form don't transfer directly.
The event was round four of the 2026 Blast Premier calendar. The data supplied here covers the final standings and payouts only — no map-by-map scores, player statistics or head-to-head history — so the reasons behind the result aren't documented in this record.
