Nemiga and FURIA meet in PGL Bucharest grand final

Nemiga Gaming and FURIA Esports will meet in the PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 grand final on Oct. 31 at PGL Studio in Bucharest. The best-of-five series will decide the winner of the $1.25 million Counter-Strike 2 tournament.

Nemiga are competing in their first Tier 1 event of the year after qualifying through the European qualifier. The team opened the Swiss stage with a 2-0 win over Legacy, then lost to BetBoom and Aurora. Wins over DENDELE and The MongolZ secured Nemiga a place in the playoffs.

Nemiga defeated FUT in the quarterfinals before beating world No. 1 Team Vitality 2-0 in the semifinals. A win over FURIA would give Nemiga its first Tier 1 title.

FURIA entered the tournament after winning the Thunderpick World Championship 2026. The Brazilian team beat DENDELE in the Swiss stage, then lost to NAVI and Spirit. Wins over TYLOO and Liquid sent FURIA into the playoffs.

FURIA defeated BetBoom in the quarterfinals and MOUZ in the semifinals. The team’s playoff wins included strong performances from molodoy and YEKINDAR. FURIA are ranked third in the global VRS standings and are playing in their second grand final of the month after finishing as runners-up at the IEM Cologne Major.

The teams have not previously met. Each team will have one map ban in the best-of-five series. Nemiga’s regular ban is Inferno, while FURIA usually removes Anubis. Ancient, Cache, Dust 2, Mirage and Nuke are therefore expected to make up the map pool.

The final will be broadcast on PGL’s official Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Facebook channels.
