Vitality sweeps Na’Vi 3-0 to win BLAST Spring in Rotterdam

Team Vitality swept Natus Vincere 3-0 to win the BLAST Open Spring 2026 Grand Final in Rotterdam on March 29. The best-of-five title match peaked at 821,200 concurrent viewers, while tournament broadcasts totaled 27.4 million hours watched, based on preliminary figures.

The matchup featured the top two teams in the VRS rankings after both led their groups and advanced through the bracket. The win marks Vitality’s third trophy of 2026, following titles at IEM Kraków and PGL Cluj-Napoca. The same rivals last met in a championship series at IEM Cologne 2024, where Vitality took the series; that final reached a 1.05 million peak audience.

Across the event, average viewership reached 298,300. By peak concurrent viewers, BLAST Open Spring 2026 currently ranks third among Counter-Strike tournaments this year and first among BLAST events this season, edging BLAST Bounty Winter 2026. Organizers expect to confirm final figures within 24 hours.

Sixteen teams competed on the main stage, including 12 from the VRS rankings and four winners from regional qualifiers. Group play produced several early exits. FaZe Clan was eliminated after consecutive losses to Aurora Gaming and TYLOO. FURIA missed the playoffs after losing to Team Falcons for the final berth. In the other group, Team Spirit fell to PARIVISION and The MongolZ.

The final matched the two highest-ranked teams in the field, with Vitality winning three straight maps to clinch the trophy.

The Counter-Strike calendar next features Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026 in Rio de Janeiro from April 13–19. Vitality and Natus Vincere are listed to compete, leaving open the possibility of a quick rematch in Brazil.
