BLAST Open Porto playoff matchups confirmed

The BLAST Open Porto playoff bracket is set after the Copenhagen group stage. Spirit and MOUZ advanced directly to the semi-finals, while Falcons, G2, FURIA and Vitality will contest the quarter-finals. The final stage will be played at the Super Bock Arena in Porto, Portugal.

Spirit earned a semi-final spot by defeating FURIA in the group winners’ match in Copenhagen. MOUZ secured the other group winners’ berth by beating Falcons. G2 and Vitality advanced to the quarter-finals after recovering through the lower bracket.

Quarter-final matches are scheduled for 4 September 2026. Falcons meet G2 at 14:00 local time and FURIA face Vitality at 17:30. Winners progress to the semi-finals on 5 September: Spirit will play the Falcons/G2 winner at 14:00, and MOUZ will play the FURIA/Vitality winner at 17:30. The grand final is set for 14:00 on 6 September 2026 at the Super Bock Arena.

The Falcons–G2 pairing renews a recent rivalry between Nikola NiKo Kovač and Nemanja huNter- Kovač; the two faced each other in Falcons and G2’s Stage 3 opener at the IEM Cologne Major. FURIA and Vitality have not met since IEM Rio. Because Falcons lost their group winners’ match, they are placed on the same side of the Porto bracket as Spirit, which could set up a rematch of the Cologne Major semi-final if Falcons advance.

Copenhagen’s group stage determined seeding for the Porto playoffs: group winners skipped the first knockout round and lower-bracket survivors filled the quarter-final slots. All playoff matches are single-elimination, with winners advancing through the semi-finals to the grand final in Porto.
