BLAST Rivals Spring in Fort Worth was the fifth event in a row that Team Vitality won, and the final was its most one-sided: a 3–0 over Natus Vincere. Vitality’s earlier matches were tighter — 2–1 against FUT Esports and G2 Esports — before a clean 2–0 against GamerLegion in the semifinal.

NaVi had been the other strong side of the week, beating FaZe Clan twice and GamerLegion without dropping a map before the final. Its $200,000 for second place came just before it won IEM Atlanta, the event that ended Vitality’s run.
