nota’s Best Highlights from the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Grand Final – Ranked & Explained

Emil “nota” Moskvitin delivered the performance of his young career in the BLAST Bounty Season 1 Grand Final, helping PARIVISION secure a dominant 3–0 victory over Falcons and claim the first major CS2 trophy of 2026. HLTV’s highlight compilation captures the most decisive moments — and several of them will likely remain staples in CS2 frag movies for years to come.

Below is a ranked breakdown of nota’s best highlights, complete with match context, player reactions, and links to all relevant verified news surrounding the final.

#1 Mirage – The Ace That Decided the Grand Final

The most impactful moment of the series came on Mirage, where nota produced a clean ace just as Falcons were beginning to stabilize after winning their first gun round.

This round didn’t just win PARIVISION the economy battle — it killed Falcons’ comeback attempt entirely. Falcons’ finances collapsed immediately after, allowing PARIVISION to accelerate toward map point and close Mirage 13–9.

#2 Dust2 – Tec-9 Multikill That Flipped the Map

After Falcons claimed the pistol round on Dust2 and moved ahead 3–0, nota once again shifted momentum — this time with a Tec-9 triple kill in mid.

That single round sparked an 8–1 run on the T side for PARIVISION. nota upgraded mid-round into an M4A1-S, turning a low-buy into full map control. Although Falcons mounted a late comeback, the damage was already done, and PARIVISION closed Dust2 13–11.

#3 Inferno – Pistol Quad-Kill to Stop a Falcons Streak

The final highlight comes from Inferno, where nota once again punished Falcons with pistols — this time stopping what would have been a seven-round Falcons streak.

Armed with a Tec-9, nota found four kills, keeping PARIVISION in control long enough to finish the series 13–11 and complete the sweep.

Series result:
PARIVISION 3–0 Falcons
Mirage (13–9) | Dust2 (13–11) | Inferno (13–11)

Why NiKo Won MVP Over nota

HLTV awarded the BLAST Bounty Season 1 MVP to Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, citing his consistent elite performance throughout the entire LAN, including earlier playoff stages.

While nota dominated the grand final, his quieter early matches ultimately cost him the MVP race — a detail HLTV explicitly highlighted in their post-event analysis.

Falcons’ Context: Stand-In, Visa Issues, and Decision-Making

Falcons entered the final without Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin, who missed the event due to unresolved visa complications. He was replaced by academy player Matej “NucleonZ” Trajkoski.

Falcons IGL kyxsan acknowledged the difficulties after the final:

He admitted the team was “too slow to make decisions”

Described the overall play as “a bit sloppy”

Defended the stand-in, saying replacing kyousuke — “one of the best aimers in the world” — was never going to be easy

Added that NucleonZ “has a bright future”

Coach Reaction: PARIVISION Stay Grounded After the Win

PARIVISION coach dastan downplayed expectations following the trophy:

He emphasized the need for stability over confidence

Stated he expected the final to be “a hard match”

Highlighted areas for improvement despite the victory

This approach reinforces PARIVISION’s image as a disciplined, system-driven team rather than a one-event wonder.
