HEAD-TO-HEAD — THE SERIES FAVORS FURIA
Over the past year, the teams have played 13 matches against each other, and FURIA hold a solid advantage: seven wins against three for Falcons, with three additional matches going into overtime. At IEM Chengdu 2025, the Brazilians defeated Falcons twice (13–11 Mirage, 16–13 Inferno), demonstrating their ability to read their opponent’s structure. However, Falcons arrive in Hong Kong in top form after a series of convincing LAN victories, so the final promises to be highly competitive.
