FURIA sweep Legacy to reach BLAST Rivals playoffs

FURIA swept Legacy 2-0 in Hong Kong to secure a playoff berth at BLAST Rivals Season 2. The Brazilian team is seeking to defend the title it won at the event one year ago after reaching the quarterfinals at IEM Beijing earlier this month.

FURIA took a 6-1 lead on the attacking side of Inferno. Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer and Bruno “latto” Rebelatto helped Legacy recover by punishing missed utility on the B site. Legacy led 8-7 after the break, including a pistol-round win.

Yuri “yuurih” Santos held the Pit area effectively after FURIA bought rifles, limiting Legacy’s opportunities in the closing rounds. Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato and Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo created openings for FURIA early in the map. Andrei “arT” Piovezan finished Inferno with four kills and 18 deaths and a 0.36 rating as FURIA won 13-10.

FURIA then opened Mirage with a 9-0 lead. Legacy won the second pistol round and delayed the finish, but FURIA regained control after buying weapons and closed the map 13-7.

KSCERATO led the series with 35 kills, an 1.67 rating and 87.8 average damage per round. FalleN had 30 kills. Santino “try” Rigal led Legacy with 34 kills and a 1.18 rating.

Legacy will face the loser of the Vitality-Falcons match for a place in the quarterfinals.
