BLAST have locked the 6-team single-elimination playoff bracket for the BLAST Open Porto 2026 finals, running September 4-6 at Super Bock Arena. Spirit and MOUZ earn semifinal byes; Falcons, FURIA, Vitality, and G2 open in the quarterfinals.
Playoff bracket
- Semifinal byes: Team Spirit (#1 seed, 6 pts), MOUZ (#5 seed)
- Quarterfinal seeds: Team Falcons (#2), FURIA (#3), Team Vitality (#4), G2 Esports (#9)
Format
BO3 quarterfinals and semifinals, BO5 grand final. QF matches on Thursday and Friday; semifinals Saturday afternoon; grand final Sunday.
Fantasy standings
Ivan "donk" Fedotov is the most-picked player in the BLAST Fantasy competition despite his $245K price tag — present on approximately 50% of all Fantasy rosters. His group-stage form (1.86 T-side rating on Cache during the FURIA semifinal) has cemented him as the tournament favourite.
What's on the line
Champion earns significant VRS points ahead of the November 2 PGL Major Singapore qualification cutoff. Winning this event would give Spirit their fourth title of 2026 — following EWC, PGL Astana, and BLAST Bounty S2 (MOUZ won that one, but Spirit have won every other Tier-1 event they entered since April).
