The grand final of BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 2 between FURIA and Falcons stands out as one of November’s key events, with both teams entering in excellent form and gaining momentum at the right time. This match serves as an important checkpoint: it reveals the true strength of each roster, the depth of their map pools, and their readiness for high-pressure series. FURIA arrive as the favorites thanks to their stable results and clear dominance in recent head-to-head clashes, while Falcons are determined to prove that their progress is no coincidence. This series will be a significant indicator of which team currently holds the upper hand.
How the bookmakers see it: FURIA as the favorites
Analysts and bookmakers are unanimous in their assessment: FURIA enter the grand final as clear favorites. Several factors shape this view — consistent results, victories at two major events in a row, and a confident streak of wins in head-to-head matches against Falcons. The Brazilians show not only strong individual form but also a calculated, structured approach to their map pool, which becomes crucial in a bo5 format.
Falcons, on the other hand, demonstrate solid form and impressive performances on their key maps, but they face a significant issue — they still cannot find a way to defeat FURIA in important matches. This shapes the market narrative: bookmakers believe FURIA possess more tools, greater stability, and a psychological edge needed to close out the series.
Current Form of FURIA: What to Expect From FURIA
FURIA enter the grand final in exceptional shape. Over the last three months, the team has played 83 maps and won 59 — a number that highlights their consistency and roster depth. In October and November, the Brazilians participated in two major events, Thunderpick World Championship 2025 and IEM Chengdu 2025, winning first place in both.
- FURIA roster: yuurih, KSCERATO, FalleN, molodoy, YEKINDAR
FURIA also hold a perfect five-match streak, beating paiN twice, Vitality twice and Falcons once. This form makes them favorites not only statistically but also psychologically.
Current Form of Falcons: What to Expect From Falcons
Falcons also show strong form: over the last three months, they played 52 maps and won 38. In November, they secured 3rd place at IEM Chengdu 2025, a respectable but not peak result for a team with high ambitions.
- Falcons roster: NiKo, TeSeS, kyxsan, m0NESY, kyousuke
In their last five matches, Falcons claimed four victories — against Vitality, Passion UA, Spirit and MOUZ. Their only loss came against FURIA, which highlights the gap between the teams in direct matchups.
FURIA’s Map Pool
In a bo5 format, FURIA are almost certain to ban Ancient — despite their 100% win rate on the map, it remains their most frequent first ban and the team rarely deviates from its structured map-veto philosophy. Their first pick is likely to be Train, where they hold a 75% win rate and frequently use the map against disciplined, methodical teams like Falcons, who have only average results there. Their second pick will most likely be Dust2, a map FURIA often choose to impose their fast-paced style — something Falcons may struggle to counter. Overall, FURIA aim to build the series around their strongest maps — Train, Dust2, and potentially Mirage — maintaining control over the tempo from start to finish.
Falcons’ Map Pool
Falcons, in turn, should open the veto with their permanent ban — Overpass, which also happens to be one of FURIA’s best maps. Their first pick is almost certainly Ancient — their strongest map with a 100% win rate and a powerful streak of victories, allowing them to dictate the pace. Their second pick should logically be Nuke, where they hold a 90% win rate and which suits their structured, disciplined approach. Unlike Mirage or Inferno, Nuke is the safest pick for Falcons against FURIA. In summary, Falcons will try to build the series around Ancient and Nuke, using structure and discipline to offset FURIA’s individual firepower.
Head-to-Head Meetings
Over the past six months, FURIA and Falcons have faced each other three times — and FURIA won all three series:
IEM Cologne 2025 — 2:1 for FURIA
- Dust2 13:7
- Mirage 13:11
- Train 7:13
FISSURE Playground 2 — 2:0 for FURIA
IEM Chengdu 2025 — 2:0 for FURIA
These results show not only FURIA’s advantage on individual maps but also their ability to adapt across different styles and map choices. Falcons lose even on some of their comfort picks — a serious psychological factor heading into the grand final.
Match Prediction — Grand Final BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 2
FURIA enter the final as a team that has won two big events in a row, holds 59 wins across 83 maps, and currently enjoy a five-match win streak — including a recent victory over Falcons. Their map pool is deeper and more flexible, and their key players are in peak form.
Falcons look strong, with high win rates on several individual maps, but the major issue is clear: they have not found a way to beat FURIA, losing three series in a row. In a bo5 format — where depth and stability of the map pool matter most — FURIA hold a significant advantage.
Prediction: FURIA win the series 3:1.
