FURIA reach Hong Kong final with 2-0 win over Falcons

FURIA reached the grand final of BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2. The team beat Falcons 2-0. Winning Ancient 16-14, FURIA secured a 13-5 advantage on Dust2. In the best-of-five grand final, they will face Spirit and want to defend the Hong Kong title.

Both teams in the series were the finalists of last year's Hong Kong event. FURIA had won the 2025 championship match 3-1. This time, they had to end a four-series losing streak against Falcons. Falcons had won all four of their previous meetings this year, including the Cologne Major final.

FURIA deviated from its usual approach in the veto process and banned Anubis. In their previous four meetings, it had banned Ancient. Falcons picked Ancient and went up 5-1. However, FURIA won nine rounds in a row around the half-time break to lead 10-5. Falcons won five rounds in a row to save two map points and force overtime. In overtime, FURIA took control. KSCERATO and molodoy together recorded 53 kills. With this result, Falcons' losing streak on maps they picked rose to eight.

On Dust2, Falcons took the first four rounds to go up 4-0. Then, with Falcons leading 4-2, YEKINDAR had a connection problem in the middle of a round. After a technical pause, the round was replayed. FURIA won seven rounds in a row and entered the break with Falcons trailing 5-7.

In the second half, Falcons could not recover. KSCERATO finished the map with a 2.10 rating. YEKINDAR's four-kill round brought up the match point, and FURIA swept the series in the next round.
