FURIA opened BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 with a 2-0 win over Legacy, securing a playoff spot. The maps finished 13-10 on Inferno and 13-7 on Mirage.
The Brazilian side is in Hong Kong to defend the title it won there a year ago. It is also looking to bounce back from a quarter-final exit at IEM Beijing just days earlier.
On Inferno, FURIA raced to a 6-1 lead. Legacy caught up by halftime and, after winning the pistol round following the side swap, went ahead 8-7. Once full buys returned, FURIA regained control, with Yuri "yuurih" Santos solid in Pit. Andrei "arT" Piovezan finished with a 4-18 K-D and a 0.36 rating.
On Mirage, FURIA built a 9-0 lead, with Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato farming multi-kills and winning an early clutch with a defuse. Legacy showed some life late in the half and after the second pistol round, but it only delayed the outcome.
KSCERATO was the best player of the series with a 35-20 K-D and a 1.67 rating. For Legacy, Santino "try" Rigal led the way with 34-26 and a 1.18 rating.
Legacy's road to the playoffs is harder now: the team will face the loser of Vitality vs. Falcons for a place in the quarter-finals.
