Legacy and Falcons meet in the lower bracket final of Group A at BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2. Falcons sit 9th in the VRS, while Legacy rank 14th. However, the two teams have met four times in 2026, and each side won two series, so this match looks closer than the rankings suggest.

This is the lower bracket final of Group A at BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2, so every map will matter. Falcons are the higher-ranked side, as they are 9th in the VRS, while Legacy are 14th. As a result, Falcons come in as slight favorites. However, Legacy have won two of the four series between these teams, so the gap in rankings may not tell the full story. Still, Legacy arrive after five straight losses, which is a big concern.

Current Form

Legacy: five losses in the last five matches

Legacy lost 0:2 to FURIA, The MongolZ and Liquid, and they also fell 1:2 to B8 and The MongolZ. However, they took a map in two of those series. Therefore, their form is a clear concern despite their solid record against this opponent.

The main player to watch is ksloks. He posts a 1.17 rating, 0.76 kills per round, 0.62 deaths per round, 76.6% KAST, a 1.05 multi-kill rating, +1.22% round swing and 80.0 ADR. He leads m0NESY in KAST. However, he trails him on every other key stat.

Falcons: two wins in the last five matches

Falcons beat HEROIC 2:0 and FaZe 2:1. However, they lost 0:2 to Vitality, 1:2 to NAVI and 0:2 to NAVI in another series. As a result, their form is uneven, but it is still better than Legacy’s.

Their key player is m0NESY. He posts a 1.30 rating, 0.81 kills per round, 0.59 deaths per round, 74.9% KAST, a 1.18 multi-kill rating, +3.50% round swing and 80.4 ADR. Moreover, he leads ksloks in rating, kills per round, deaths per round, multi-kill rating, round swing and ADR. For example, his round swing of +3.50% is far above ksloks’s +1.22%.

Head-to-Head

The sides are level. In 2026, the two teams have met four times, and each side won two series. On maps, Legacy lead 6 to 5, and none of these 11 maps went to overtime.

The first meeting was at CS Asia Championships 2026 on May 22, and the result was Falcons 2:0 Legacy. Two days later, at the same tournament on May 24, it was Legacy 3:1 Falcons. Then, at Esports World Cup 2026 on August 21, Legacy 2:0 Falcons. Most recently, at BLAST Open Porto 2026 on August 29, Falcons 2:1 Legacy.

Map Pool & Veto

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

Cache: 67% (6 maps) | 0 maps
Dust2: 47% (17 maps) | 67% (15 maps)
Mirage: 59% (17 maps) | 42% (12 maps)
Inferno: 44% (9 maps) | 67% (6 maps)
Nuke: 67% (6 maps) | 50% (4 maps)
Ancient: 43% (14 maps) | 50% (10 maps)
Anubis: 0 maps | 50% (8 maps)

Expected veto: Falcons will likely ban Cache, where Legacy win 67% and Falcons have played none. In addition, they have a clear reason to ban Mirage, where Legacy hold 59% over a large 17-map sample against Falcons’ 42%. In return, Legacy are likely to ban Dust2 and Inferno, where Falcons win 67% on both maps.

After those bans, Legacy can pick Nuke, where they win 67% over six maps against Falcons’ 50% over four. Meanwhile, Falcons can answer with Anubis, where they hold 50% over eight maps and Legacy have played none. Therefore, Ancient looks like the most likely decider, with 50% for Falcons and 43% for Legacy over large samples of 10 and 14 maps.

VRS forecast: Legacy currently have 1609 points and sit 14th. With a win, they would reach 1646 points and move up to 11th place, up three spots. With a loss, they would drop to 1601 points, but they would still stay 14th.

Falcons have 1749 points and sit 9th. With a win, they would reach 1776 points and move up to 7th place, up two spots. However, with a loss, they would drop to 1730 points, but they would still stay 9th.

Prediction

Legacy have real arguments. They won two of the four series between these teams, and they lead 6 to 5 on maps. In addition, Nuke and Mirage give them two playable map options.

Still, Falcons look slightly better here. They rank higher in the VRS, and m0NESY leads ksloks in almost every key stat. Moreover, Falcons come in with better recent form and strong numbers on Dust2 and Inferno. However, Legacy’s results against this opponent mean this series should be close.

If Falcons ban Cache and Mirage and win Anubis, they can take control of the series. Meanwhile, Legacy will need Nuke and a strong ksloks to pull off the upset.

Projected result: Falcons 2:1 Legacy
