BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 starts with the clash between OG and FUT — two teams open the tournament in a single-elimination format, where there is practically no room for mistakes. The winner advances and keeps their chances for a deep run in the bracket, while a loss means immediate elimination from the competition.
This match carries special weight: OG are trying to prove that their rebuilt roster is capable of competing even with more stable opponents, while FUT enter as favorites and must confirm their status not on paper, but on the server.
BLAST BOUNTY 2026 SEASON 1 — TOURNAMENT KICKOFF
BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 is held as an online tournament with a strict knockout system. A total of 32 teams are participating, and every match is played in a Bo3 format.
There is no “warm-up” here — every series immediately decides a team’s fate in the tournament.
For both OG and FUT, this is a moment of truth: either a confident start and a psychological advantage, or an early exit that instantly hits both the ranking position and the team’s confidence.
HEAD-TO-HEAD — MINIMAL HISTORY, MAXIMUM PRESSURE
There is practically no extensive head-to-head history between OG and FUT, which makes the match even more unpredictable.
FUT look more stable in terms of overall results dynamics, but OG have the potential to break the rhythm of the game through individual decisions and aggressive plays.
In a match like this, adaptation during the series will matter more than raw numbers.
CURRENT FORM
OG — potential is there, but consistency is lacking
OG are still in a phase of development. The team has strong individual elements and solid firepower potential, but their game often looks fragmented: good rounds are followed by series of mistakes. In a Bo3, this is especially dangerous, as every dropped map makes the path to victory twice as difficult.
FUT — structure and confidence in their own game
FUT approach the match in a more composed state. They show clear team coordination, stable map control, and better economy management. This systematic approach allows them to minimize collapses and maintain tempo even in difficult situations.
MAP POOL & VETO
Statistics for the last 3 months (OG | FUT):
- Dust2: 25% | 55%
- Mirage: 50% | 78%
- Inferno: 75% | 71%
- Nuke: 0% | 100%
- Overpass: — | 67%
- Ancient: — | 62%
- Anubis: — | —
Expected veto:
- OG will almost certainly remove Nuke — the map where FUT look максимально confident and have a perfectly structured defense.
- FUT are highly likely to ban Inferno, one of the few maps where OG have a noticeable win rate advantage.
Probable picks:
- OG: Mirage — the only map where they can impose their tempo through active mid control.
FUT: Dust2 — a comfortable arena for their shooting-oriented style and control of open spaces.
Decider: Overpass or Ancient look logical as the deciding maps. It is exactly here where FUT’s team structure can play a decisive role in long rounds and clutch situations.
KEY DUELS
- cadiaN vs lauNX — experience and game reading versus young aggression
- adamb vs djuuGss — the battle for control of key positions
- FLAMUS vs Krabeni — who will play the anchor role more consistently
In a Bo3, every won duel in mid control can change the economy of the entire series.

PREDICTION
OG have the potential to create problems through individual actions, but FUT look significantly more stable in terms of game structure, map pool, and control of series tempo.
In a Bo3 format, this is almost always an advantage for the more systematic team.
Predicted score: FUT 2–1 OG
