The Counter-Strike 2 action at BLAST Open London 2025 has been intense. Three teams from Brazil, FURIA, Legacy, and Imperial, entered the tournament. They all aimed to survive and earn a spot in the playoffs.
The competition started tough for some. Imperial faced Team Liquid and lost their match 2-1. This meant they were out of the running. Legacy also met a similar fate. They played against the Australian team, FlyQuest, and were defeated 2-1, ending their tournament journey as well.
With two fellow teams out, FURIA suddenly carried the hopes for many fans at BLAST London. They faced a huge challenge: Team Spirit, the top-ranked team by Valve. This was a critical match to reach the main playoffs.
The pressure did not seem to bother the Brazilian squad. FURIA started strong, winning the first map, Mirage, with a score of 13-9. The next map, Nuke, was a true back-and-forth battle. Rounds were traded constantly, but FURIA pulled ahead in the final moments, securing a 13-11 win. This gave them a clean 2-0 series victory.
