Team Spirit arrived in Porto three days after winning the Esports World Cup and kept going. It won all five of its matches and dropped a single map along the way, in the best-of-five final against MOUZ, which it took 3–1. Every earlier series, against DENDELE CS, G2 Esports, FURIA and Team Falcons, ended 2–0.
The title was worth $250,000 and made it two events in a row for Spirit in under three weeks. G2 Esports, which had won the 2025 edition of BLAST Open Fall, lost to Spirit early in the event and finished fifth-to-sixth.
