The best-of-three series took place in Group A.

Match results:

• Inferno: FURIA 13:10 Legacy.

• Mirage: FURIA 13:7 Legacy.

• Final score: FURIA 2:0 Legacy.

For FURIA, the match was an opportunity to bounce back after its quarterfinal exit at IEM Beijing 2026.

The Brazilian squad also arrived in Hong Kong to defend the BLAST Rivals championship title it had won the previous year.

Inferno: Legacy Briefly Takes the Lead

FURIA started the opening map confidently on the T side.

KSCERATO and FalleN successfully opened up bombsites, helping the team establish an early 6:1 lead.

However, Legacy gradually closed the gap. Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer and Bruno "latto" Rebelatto capitalized on their opponents' utility mistakes.

After switching sides, Legacy won the pistol round and took the lead for the first time at 8:7.

Nevertheless, FURIA managed to regain control of the game.

Yuri "yuurih" Santos delivered a strong defensive performance from Pit, limiting Legacy's opportunities to attack the A bombsite.

Once FURIA had full buys available, it became significantly harder for Legacy to execute successful attacks.

Inferno ended with a 13:10 victory for FURIA.

Legacy's Andrei "arT" Piovezan struggled on the opening map, finishing with just four kills, 18 deaths, and a 0.36 rating.

Mirage: FURIA Dominates the Opposition

The second map began with FURIA in complete control.

Legacy attempted to attack the B bombsite, but FalleN consistently shut down its advances.

KSCERATO also delivered an outstanding performance, regularly securing multiple kills in individual rounds.

In one crucial moment, the Brazilian player successfully defused the bomb under pressure.

Thanks to its dominant defense, FURIA won nine consecutive rounds and established a 9:0 lead.

Legacy managed to reduce the deficit toward the end of the first half and after winning the second pistol round.

However, once FURIA secured a full buy, it regained the initiative.

Mirage ended 13:7, completing FURIA's victory in the series.
