A FURIA não conseguiu superar a FaZe Clan na final da chave inferior da BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 1 e foi eliminada do torneio em Fort Worth, terminando na última posição do Grupo B. Para um time que chegou ao evento ranqueado entre os melhores do mundo, a queda precoce é um balde de água fria.

On April 19, at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Team Vitality defeated Team Spirit in a dominant 3-0 sweep in the Grand Final of IEM Rio 2026, claiming the title, the $1,000,000 ESL Grand Slam bonus, and a permanent place among Counter-Strike's all-time greats.

IEM Rio 2026 reaches its playoff stage with six teams still standing, a $300,000 prize pool on the line, and enough storylines to keep fans on the edge of their seats from the quarterfinals all the way through Sunday's Grand Final.

Tomorrow, February 8th, FURIA and Team Vitality meet in the IEM Krakow 2026 grand final at the Tauron Arena. It's a best-of-five for $400,000 and crucial Valve Regional Standings points. Both squads took wildly different routes to get here, however, both have legitimate reasons to believe the trophy is theirs.

ESL has officially revealed the two groups for the Group Stage kicking off on April 13, and the matchups are already determined.

Animgraph 2 is now live in Counter-Strike 2. Valve just shipped the biggest overhaul to CS2's animation system since the game came out, and it was worth the wait.
