FURIA opened their IEM Beijing 2026 campaign with a 2-1 win over FaZe in Group A on November 2 — the Bucharest champions' first match 48 hours after lifting that trophy.
Series line
- Ancient: FaZe 13-11
- Dust2: FURIA 13-5
- Cache: FURIA 13-4
Ancient — the 10-2 reversal
FURIA raced to 10-2 on their CT side. FaZe then came back on their own CT side after the switch to flip the map 13-11.
Dust2 and Cache
FURIA responded immediately. Dust2 and Cache ended 13-5 and 13-4 — one-sided holds that neutralized FaZe's Ancient momentum.
