Aurora Eliminate DENDELE From BLAST Open Porto 2026

Aurora Gaming claimed their first victory at BLAST Open Porto 2026, defeating DENDELE 2:0 in the first round of Group A’s lower bracket. The team took Cache 13:7 and then closed out Mirage 16:12.

For both teams, this was an elimination match. Aurora began the tournament with a 0:2 loss to G2, while DENDELE fell to Team Spirit by the same score. That meant the losing side would immediately exit the tournament.

On Cache, Aurora looked noticeably more confident than their opponent and managed to close the first map without a tense finish - 13:7. Mirage was much more competitive. DENDELE pushed the game into overtime, but Aurora proved stronger in the extra rounds and finished the map 16:12.

As a result, DENDELE left BLAST Open Porto after two consecutive losses. In their opening series, the Brazilian team lost to Spirit on Ancient 8:13 and Cache 7:13, and now they failed to overcome Aurora as well.
