FURIA Sweeps Spirit to Claim BLAST Rivals Hong Kong and Third Title in a Month

FURIA enjoyed a clean sweep against Team Spirit in the Grand Final to lift back-to-back BLAST Rivals Hong Kong trophies, capping off a stellar performance that also saw the Brazilian team claim their third title in just under a month.

The win adds another piece of silverware to FalleN's iconic trophy cabinet and sends FURIA into the upcoming Singapore Major as one of the favorites, having now won three of their last four tournaments. Here's how the match played out.

FURIA 3-0 Spirit

FURIA enjoyed a rather comfortable outing against Team Spirit in the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong Grand Final, closing out a clean 3-0 series to secure their third title in a month.

With Inferno and Anubis banned, the teams took to Ancient for their opening encounter, perhaps their closest matchup of the night. Both sides started on equal footing, closing the first half with an even score, but FURIA soon gained momentum on their T-side and clutched the map 13-11.

Then came Dust 2, Spirit's weakest map of the series. Despite collecting five rounds on the CT-side, Spirit failed to win a single round on attack and dropped the map 13-5.

The final showdown on Mirage saw Spirit yet again put together a promising first half. However, much like the previous two maps, donk and co. failed to close out the game in the second half, and FURIA sealed the clean sweep with a 13-8 win on Mirage.

FURIA’s KSCERATO emerged as the tournament MVP after an exceptional performance that saw him top the table with 57-31 KD across three maps. 

3 Titles in 4 Tournaments For FURIA

The win against Spirit saw FURIA replicate their success from 2025, when they similarly enjoyed grand success towards the end of the year right before the season's second Major.

This time around, FURIA's top form began with a flawless title win at the Thunderpick World Championship, similar to last season. They then followed it up with a PGL Masters Bucharest trophy.

While the team did suffer a quarterfinal exit in IEM Beijing, FURIA proved they were still in top form with an impressive performance at BLAST Rivals Hong Kong. The team now sits in an excellent position alongside Vitality, Spirit, and MOUZ as top contenders for the PGL Major Singapore.

If FURIA can carry this form onto the biggest stage of the year, we might just see FalleN lift one more Major trophy before he hangs up his mouse and keyboard for good.
