In the capital of Kazakhstan, the Russian team Team Spirit will battle the international roster Falcons for the championship title. This final attracts special attention due to the duel of two brightest young stars of the modern CS2 scene: Danila donk Kryshkovets and Ilya m0NESY Osipov.

Team Spirit has approached the decisive match in phenomenal form. In the semifinals, the "dragons" literally destroyed MOUZ, giving their opponent only five rounds over two maps. donk continues to demonstrate incredible statistics, finishing the previous series with a rating of 1.95.

Falcons, on the other hand, also easily dealt with the magic team in the semifinals. For m0NESY's team and Nikola NiKo Kovač, this final is a crucial chance to break a trophy drought that has lasted almost a year. Interestingly, historically, Falcons have faced significant difficulties in matches against Spirit in the decisive stages of major tournaments (for example, at StarLadder Budapest Major and IEM Rio). Will captain Finn karrigan Andersen find the keys to the "dragons'" game this time?

Across the ocean, in American Atlanta, Natus Vincere (NAVI) will fight for their second trophy in 2026. The "born to win" team will face the European mix GamerLegion.

NAVI's path to the final has been quite confident. In the semifinals, Aleksib's team closed BetBoom Team with a score of 2:0 without much trouble. Notably, NAVI demonstrates excellent team play: on the Ancient map, the team delivered a series of eight consecutive won rounds, losing none of the initial duels.

GamerLegion has become a real revelation of the tournament, knocking out the Brazilians from Legacy in the semifinals. For the European mix, reaching the final of the IEM series tournament is already a huge achievement, but the team clearly has no intention of stopping there.
