Winner-FURIA

The Grand Final capped off an incredible weekend of world-class Counter-Strike, 
with more than 30,000 passionate fans attending across three days of playoff action
in Hong Kong.

Sunday’s high-octane showdown saw the Brazilian side overcome Team Spirit in commanding
fashion, with Kaike ‘KSCERATO’ Cerato delivering another outstanding performance
to cement his status as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The victory marks FURIA’s third trophy in their last four tournaments, continuing
an incredible late-season run of form as the team builds momentum ahead of the upcoming
Singapore Major.

For legendary captain Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo, the victory carries extra significance,
adding another prestigious BLAST trophy to his collection as he prepares to retire
at the end of the year. With just the Singapore Major remaining, the Brazilian icon
now has one final opportunity to cap off his remarkable career with another major
title.
