Competitive Counter-Strike has returned, but the balance of power remains unchanged. The Major champions from Shanghai, Team Spirit, finished the Year of the Dragon with a bang, winning BLAST Bounty Spring. Donk and his squad seem to have an enormous margin of strength and appear ready for prolonged dominance. Since their victory played out predictably, let’s focus on the team that faced Team Spirit in the final.

Eternal Fire continues to stick to its patriotic approach: despite XANTARES being one of the best aimers in the world, he remains committed to playing in an all-Turkish lineup. During the offseason, they made one roster change by bringing in the young and talented jottAAA, and it seems the team’s puzzle pieces are finally falling into place. Over the course of BLAST Bounty Spring, XANTARES outplayed the #4, #3, and #2 players from HLTV’s 2024 rankings, but the #1 spot eluded him.
