Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato and FURIA has qualified straight to the semi finals after beating MOUZ and Spirit in the online stage of BLAST Open London 2025. They’re set for a matchup against either FaZe or G2 on Saturday, depending on which of the aforementioned win the match.

The semis surprise that lit a spark
KSCERATO admits he did not realize the after playing Spirt there was a match against MOUZ that could send them straight to the last four. When it clicked, the reaction was pure:
“I’ll be honest with you, i didn’t know we had a match against MOUZ after the Spirit game. For me we were already in the playoffs and i didn’t know there was a spot in the semi finals. When i found out i was like: ‘Oh my god, let’s fucking go, bro’.”
That moment captures the vibe around FURIA, a team on an upwards trajectory and great vibes. Cologne is the reminder that keeps them grounded, a few costly rounds against MOUZ that turned a near miss into a lesson about closing when it matters.
English comms and fluid roles
Inside the server, the shift to English has made calls crisper.
“Communication during the game is easier in English than in Portuguese, it is more straight and more clear,” KSCERATO says.
The group is taking English classes to tighten phrasing. In officials, the benefits show up in the small decisions that decide rounds, faster trades, cleaner utility timing, and a shared vocabulary that removes second guessing in the heat of a mid round.
That clarity pairs with a deliberately flexible structure. Space and duties are not hard locked, the core can flip responsibilities on the fly when a read demands it, without losing shape, because trust in FalleN’s mid round call anchors the tempo and keeps everyone aligned. The result is a team that feels coordinated and hard to scout, exactly the blend they want on stage.
“I think that everyone has a role but in same and the same time no one has a role… we just doing what we need to do, you know, so doesn’t matter which role you are, just fucking do it, you know.”
Ready for playoffs
While KSCERATO and FURIA skip a round in the playoffs, they will still have to prepare for either of G2 and FaZe, both of whom have recently made roster changes.
Here’s the schedule for today:
16.30: MOUZ – M80
19.30: FaZe – G2
