FURIA and Falcons meet in the playoff semifinal of BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2, and the winner reaches the final. FURIA sit 2nd in the VRS, while Falcons rank 7th. However, Falcons won all five series between these teams in 2026, so FURIA need to break a long run of losses.

This is a semifinal in the playoffs of BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2, so every map will matter. FURIA are the higher-ranked side, as they are 2nd in the VRS, while Falcons are 7th. As a result, FURIA come in as slight favorites on paper. Still, Falcons have beaten this opponent every time this year, so the ranking gap may not tell the full story.

Current Form

FURIA: three wins in the last five matches

FURIA beat Vitality and NAVI 2:1, and they also won 2:0 against Legacy. However, they lost 1:2 to BetBoom Team and 1:2 to The MongolZ. As a result, their form is uneven, although they come in after a win over Vitality.

The main player to watch is KSCERATO. He posts a 1.19 rating, 0.73 kills per round, 0.60 deaths per round, 76.4% KAST, a 1.13 multi-kill rating, +1.51% round swing and 80.2 ADR. He leads m0NESY in KAST and ADR. However, he trails him on every other key stat.

Falcons: three wins in the last five matches

Falcons beat G2 2:1, and they also won 2:0 against Legacy and HEROIC. However, they lost 0:2 to Vitality and 1:2 to NAVI. Therefore, their form is uneven too.

Their key player is m0NESY. He posts a 1.28 rating, 0.80 kills per round, 0.59 deaths per round, 75.4% KAST, a 1.16 multi-kill rating, +3.43% round swing and 80.0 ADR. Moreover, he leads KSCERATO in rating, kills per round, deaths per round, multi-kill rating and round swing. For example, his round swing of +3.43% is far above KSCERATO’s +1.51%.

Head-to-Head

Falcons hold a clear edge. In 2026, the two teams have met five times, and Falcons won all five series. On maps, Falcons lead 11 to 3, and four of these 14 maps went to overtime.

The first meeting was at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 on February 16, and the result was Falcons 2:1 FURIA. Then, at BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 on March 23, it was Falcons 2:1 FURIA again. Next, at IEM Rio 2026 on April 19, Falcons 2:0 FURIA.

After that, at PGL Astana 2026 on May 15, Falcons 2:1 FURIA. Most recently, at IEM Cologne Major 2026 on June 21, the result was Falcons 3:0 FURIA.

Map Pool & Veto

Win rate over the past 3 months (FURIA | Falcons):

Cache: 61% (18 maps) | 0 maps
Dust2: 65% (20 maps) | 60% (15 maps)
Mirage: 57% (21 maps) | 50% (14 maps)
Inferno: 77% (13 maps) | 67% (6 maps)
Nuke: 59% (17 maps) | 50% (4 maps)
Ancient: 39% (18 maps) | 44% (9 maps)
Anubis: 2 maps | 56% (9 maps)

Expected veto: Falcons will almost certainly ban Inferno, where FURIA win 77% over 13 maps. In addition, they have a clear reason to ban Cache, where FURIA hold 61% over 18 maps and Falcons have played none. In return, FURIA are likely to ban Anubis, where Falcons win 56% over nine maps and FURIA have played only two.

After those bans, FURIA can pick Nuke, where they win 59% over 17 maps against Falcons’ 50% over four. Meanwhile, Falcons can answer with Dust2, where they hold 60% over 15 maps, close to FURIA’s 65% over 20. Therefore, Mirage looks like the most likely decider, with 57% for FURIA and 50% for Falcons. However, both teams have only average numbers there, so the map could go either way.

VRS forecast: FURIA currently have 1916 points and sit 2nd. With a win, they would reach 1923 points and stay 2nd. With a loss, they would drop to 1895 points and fall to 3rd place.

Falcons have 1794 points and sit 7th. With a win, they would reach 1834 points and move up to 6th place. However, with a loss, they would drop to 1779 points, but they would still stay 7th.

Prediction

Falcons have real arguments. They won all five series between these teams in 2026, and m0NESY leads KSCERATO in rating, kills per round, deaths per round, multi-kill rating and round swing. In addition, four of the 14 maps went to overtime, so many of these games were very close.

Still, FURIA look slightly better here. They rank higher in the VRS, and they hold the stronger map pool, with 77% on Inferno and 61% on Cache. Moreover, KSCERATO leads m0NESY in KAST and ADR, and FURIA come in after a win over Vitality. However, Falcons’ perfect record against this opponent means this series should be close.

If FURIA ban Anubis and win Nuke or Dust2, they can take control of the series. Meanwhile, Falcons will need Dust2 or Mirage and a strong m0NESY to extend their winning run against FURIA.

Projected result: FURIA 2:1 Falcons
