The first team to head home from BLAST Rivals Spring will be decided in this matchup!
Day two at BLAST Rivals Spring 2025 and we begin with the Group A eliminator. Very few gave Wildcard and paiN a chance in yesterday's BLAST Rivals Spring openers, and while the pundits were right, paiN came far closer than some expected.
At the same time, getting 13-0'd on LAN sucks, and it's not at all what you want to be remembered for at BLAST Spring Rivals, so expect a rejuvenated paiN to bring the...pain... to Wildcard in this tightly-contested series.
Almost another 13-0 loss for paiN as dgt debut goes awry
Unfortunately for paiN it was Wildcard dishing out the pain in the group stage eliminator, with Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz's men eliminating the Brazilian squad 2-0 (13-10, X-X).

paiN was hoping to reverse results from yesterday where they suffered a 13-0 loss in map three to MOUZ, but it backfired spectacularly as Wildcard put the squad to the sword.
