FURIA and Vitality sweep BLAST Rivals openers to secure playoff places

FURIA 2–0 Legacy: defending champions make a strong start

FURIA took Inferno 13–10 and Mirage 13–7 to begin its title defense.

KSCERATO and FalleN helped establish a 6–1 attacking lead on Inferno, but Legacy recovered and moved ahead 8–7 after winning the second-half pistol.

FURIA regained control once the rifles returned, with yuurih providing important defensive resistance around Pit.

Mirage followed a more decisive pattern. FalleN’s B-site defense and KSCERATO’s impact from Connector helped FURIA race into a 9–0 lead. Legacy again found rounds around the side change, but could not sustain the recovery.

Vitality 2–0 Falcons: ropz leads the sweep

Vitality won Anubis 13–10 and Dust2 13–10, securing its own playoff place.

On Anubis, m0NESY repeatedly kept Falcons competitive, helping erase Vitality’s advantage before a ropz triple kill at 10–10 helped turn the closing rounds back in Vitality’s favor.

Dust2 featured another momentum swing. Vitality began 5–0, Falcons recovered to win the half, and Vitality then produced the stronger defense after switching sides.

ropz finished the series with 40 kills, 25 deaths and a 1.46 rating, while ZywOo added 36–27. m0NESY led Falcons with 37–29.
