The Brazilian squad FURIA continues their journey at the BLAST.tv Austin Major, defeating B8 with a 2:1 score in a tense matchup. Despite a brilliant start from the Ukrainian side, FURIA’s experience and aggressive playstyle secured them the victory and a guaranteed spot in the tournament’s third stage.
Mirage 3:13
On their map pick, B8 claimed a confident 13:3 win. The team showed solid performance on both defense and offense, leaving their opponents with no real chances. This dominant result undoubtedly boosted the Ukrainians’ confidence going forward in the series.
Train 13:6
On the second map, B8 struggled on defense. They lacked quick decision-making in key moments and dropped several rounds in 1v3 situations. On the T-side, they managed to win just one round — not enough to stop FURIA, who tied the series with a controlled performance.
Dust2 13:7
The decider on Dust2 was the most intense. B8 looked lost at times, while FURIA played with full confidence and precision on the T-side. The Brazilians won most of the early duels, consistently putting the Ukrainian team in a numbers disadvantage.
