FURIA swept Spirit 3-0 in the BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 final in Hong Kong, winning Ancient 13-11 before taking Dust2 13-5 and Mirage 13-8. Ancient was Spirit’s best chance to extend the series, but FURIA pulled away across the final two maps to claim the title.
The teams had met in the 2025 Hong Kong final, where FURIA won 3-1. This time, FURIA’s title defense followed a semifinal against Falcons, who had won all four of their previous meetings in 2026, including the Cologne Major final.
FURIA held on through Ancient
Spirit took a 2-0 lead after winning the opening pistol, but molodoy’s P250 on an eco got FURIA on the board. FURIA stayed in front for much of the first half until donk and tN1R combined to tie the score near halftime.
KSCERATO’s clutch in the second-half pistol helped FURIA preserve its lead. Spirit fought back to 11 rounds through impact from donk and sh1ro, but YEKINDAR found late openings toward B and FURIA closed Ancient 13-11.
FURIA took control on Dust2 and Mirage
Spirit went ahead 4-1 on Dust2 before molodoy turned a 3v5 with four kills, helping FURIA finish the first half with the lead. FURIA’s CT side then shut Spirit out, and the 13-5 win put the trophy within reach.
FURIA closed Dust2 on its third attempt. Mirage followed a similar pattern, with FURIA pulling clear after a contested opening half to win 13-8. KSCERATO maintained his form, while YEKINDAR added more impact after a quieter start to the final.
More rounds from the final
FURIA got on the board when Spirit’s pistol stack failed, and tN1R ran through a molotov for two. KSCERATO also opened Dust2 with a triple kill.
Spirit also had rounds of its own. magixx stopped an attack on A with a triple kill, while yuurih kept a pistol round alive for FURIA with three kills.
molodoy found further impact, and YEKINDAR added a four-kill round. sh1ro’s clutch helped Spirit draw level near halftime on Ancient.
The Hong Kong win gave FURIA its third trophy across four events. The team’s October Thunderpick title preceded this latest championship. The PGL Singapore Major remains a key target in FalleN’s planned final year of competition.
Falcons pushed FURIA to overtime in the semifinal
FURIA reached the final after a 13-0 Mirage win over Vitality and a 2-0 semifinal victory over Falcons. The teams had met in last year’s Hong Kong final, where FURIA won 3-1, but Falcons had claimed all four of their previous meetings in 2026, including the Cologne Major final.
FURIA changed its opening veto, banning Anubis instead of Ancient, which it had removed first in each of the teams’ previous four meetings. Falcons picked Ancient and moved ahead 5-1, but FURIA won nine straight rounds across the halftime break to lead 10-5. Falcons answered with five consecutive rounds and saved two map points to force overtime. FURIA took the map 16-14, with KSCERATO and molodoy combining for 53 kills. The loss extended Falcons’ streak of defeats on their own map picks to eight.
Falcons opened Dust2 with a 4-0 lead. At 4-2, YEKINDAR disconnected mid-round, prompting a short technical pause. The round was replayed despite damage already having been dealt. FURIA then won seven straight rounds to lead 7-5 at halftime, and Falcons could not win another after the break. KSCERATO finished Dust2 with a 2.10 rating, and YEKINDAR’s quad kill put FURIA on match point before the team closed out the next round. Across the semifinal series, KSCERATO led FURIA with 47 kills, 107.4 ADR and a 1.69 rating. molodoy added 43 kills and a 1.59 rating.
