It’s a battle between two titans, with the winner through first to the BLAST Rivals Spring final.
BLAST Rivals Spring enters the semifinals tonight with Falcons and MOUZ once again locking horns. For the winner, a spot in the grand final and the number two spot in the global rankings.
If the quarterfinals were anything to go by, this may be one of the best matches in the event as MOUZ hunt for retribution after an embarrassing loss to Falcons at IEM Melbourne. Can they find their revenge, or will Falcons best them again?

Head-to-head: MOUZ 8-5 Falcons
Last meeting: Falcons 2-0 (13-6, 13-3) @ IEM Melbourne 2025
There's plenty on the line for these two teams outside of the obvious run at BLAST Rivals Spring. Falcons shot up to third in the VRS global rankings with their win in Bucharest and runners-up in Melbourne. They're hot on the heels of MOUZ, who have also been stellar of late.
But still fresh in the minds of the players and the fans will be the IEM Melbourne matchup where Falcons utterly decimated MOUZ in one of the more surprising results this year. It was Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov's first event, with the 20-year-old sniper brutal in his execution of MOUZ on the Aussie main stage.
MOUZ don't appear too perturbed by the loss given their bounce-back in Copenhagen this week; they cleared the group stage with a solid showing against Vitality, then put up a rugby score on a limp FaZe Clan in the quarters.
Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo and Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás were brilliant against FaZe yesterday but both went missing the last time they ran into Falcons. It's vital the MOUZ duo show up to stop the big guns of Falcons who continue to go from strength-to-strength.
The battle for the world number two spot heats up; the action kicks off May 3 at 4pm CEST!
