Team Vitality did not drop a map in the Cluj-Napoca playoffs. It beat Aurora Gaming 2–0 in the quarterfinal on February 20, The MongolZ 2–0 a day later and PARIVISION 3–0 in the best-of-five final on February 22; its only two lost maps of the event came before the bracket. The title was its second in a row and the fifth of the ten it won this season.
PARIVISION reached the final the hard way: its last series before the bracket, against FUT Esports on February 18, and its quarterfinal against Team Falcons both ended 2–1, before a 2–0 semifinal over MOUZ. Eleventh of the field by our season table, the club climbed further than anyone else here, and the $187,500 for second place is its second-largest payout of the season, behind its win at BLAST Bounty Winter 2026.
The MongolZ knocked FURIA out in a three-map quarterfinal and then lost both of its remaining series without winning a map, to Vitality in the semifinal and to MOUZ in the match for third place. Mirage dominated the map pool: 27 of the event’s 102 maps were played on it, more than on any other.
