Team Falcons and FURIA delivered one of the most intense matches of the day at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026. The series went the distance, with Falcons coming out on top on the decider to secure a 2–1 victory and become the second team to lock in a playoff spot.

Map veto:

  1. Falcons removed Overpass
  2. FURIA removed Ancient
  3. Falcons picked Mirage
  4. FURIA picked Inferno
  5. FURIA removed Dust2
  6. Falcons removed Nuke
  7. Anubis was left over

It was one of the standout matches of the day. The first half on Mirage initially went Falcons’ way, but from round nine onward FURIA seized the momentum and tied the half at 6–6. After the side switch, the teams traded rounds, with FURIA reaching map point. However, Falcons forced overtime, where they eventually fell short 14–16.

On Inferno, FURIA failed to find their rhythm. Managing only one round on the T side in the first half, they allowed Falcons to build a dominant 11–1 lead. After switching sides, the Brazilian squad could not recover and ultimately lost the map 4–13.

The decider on Anubis followed a similar pattern, but this time in Falcons’ favor. The first half was closely contested. After the side switch, Falcons managed to edge out rounds on the T side and close the series 2–1 with a 13–11 win on Anubis.
