YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 – Teams, Format, & Watch Live

YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 is a Tier 1 tournament taking place online between April 16th and 19th, bringing 12 teams to the server to clash for their share of a $300,000 prize pool. Originally planned to take place in Qatar, the event was moved online, and is set to be played on European servers for logistical reasons.

While YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 arrives too late for the VRS points to matter for this Major cycle, it represents a great opportunity to get some early points on the board for the next one later this year.

    • Group stage winners advance to the Semifinals
    • Group stage runners-up advance to the Quarterfinals as the High Seeds
    • Group stage 3rd place teams advance to the Quarterfinals as the Low Seeds

Playoffs

  • All matches are best-of-three

YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 Teams

There was considerable controversy about the teams attending YaLLa Compass Spring 2025. Many teams utilized the qualifiers for the event as an opportunity to gain VRS points before the cutoff for the BLAST Austin Major invites, before dropping out of the event entirely. This is what caused the move online, but many teams still dropped out regardless, choosing instead to focus on qualifying for the biggest CS2 event of the year.

The teams at YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 have been separated into two groups, as per the format above. Check them out below:

Group A

  • Nemiga
  • 9 Pandas
  • GUN5
  • Partizan
  • Passion UA
  • ECLOT

Group B

  • BetBoom
  • Metizport
  • ENCE
  • Spirit Academy
  • Nexus
  • GTZ

YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 Predictions

Because YaLLa Compass Spring 2025 is filled with teams traditionally associated with Tier 2 Counter-Strike, it has the potential to produce some wacky results. I’m pitching Passion UA as my surprise favorites in this one. I like the recent roster moves they’ve made, bringing in both Woro2k and DemQQ. If they can get a honeymoon phase, then they should be winning this one.

I’ve obviously got to highlight Spirit Academy, too. With a top-tier talent like kyousuke on board (with rumors he’s set to join Falcons), there’s always the chance that they could stomp the competition at YaLLa Compass Spring 2025.
