FURIA 2-1 Vitality at BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 in Hong Kong on November 12 — but the scoreline hides the story. FURIA closed the Group A winners' match with a 13-0 sweep on Mirage, the first time in Counter-Strike 2 that Team Vitality have failed to win a single round on a map.
How the series went
- Inferno — Vitality 13-5 FURIA. Vitality looked their usual selves, ZywOo and ropz cruising on home-side map pool.
- Dust2 — FURIA 13-10 Vitality. KSCERATO and molodoy answered the Inferno loss with disciplined CT retakes.
- Mirage — FURIA 13-0 Vitality. Decider. FURIA won every round on both sides. YEKINDAR noted post-match that the Brazilians "hit flow state" after the first few rounds and never let Vitality breathe.
The 13-0 — a CS2 first for Vitality
Per HLTV's match report: "The first time in Counter-Strike 2 that Vitality failed to tally a single round win on a map." Vitality's historical 13-0 record in CS:GO was intact as well going into this series — the Mirage result is the cleanest defeat in the organisation's modern era.

Bracket consequence
FURIA earn a direct bye to the Rivals semi-finals. Vitality — who just two days ago opened with a sweep of Falcons on apEX's return — now drop into the lower-bracket quarters, needing to win two BO3s to reach the semi. World No.2 FURIA have now beaten the world No.3 three straight series across October-November.
Why it matters right before Singapore
PGL Major Singapore opens in 12 days. Vitality were odds-on favourites in several bookmakers' preview markets; a 13-0 is the kind of result that forces a re-pricing. FURIA's momentum — new HLTV No.2 after Beijing, now beating Vitality en route to Rivals semis — makes them the hottest team into the second Major of 2026.
