FURIA send NRG out of BLAST Rotterdam

KSCERATO said that the Falcons matchup would be hard, but said that there was not high pressure to win.

KSCERATO said that the Falcons matchup would be hard, but said that there was not high pressure to win.

Despite NRG’s lack of practice, they were able to defeat FURIA 13-10 on the opening map of Mirage. Even so, FURIA’s “experience” was too much to handle, according to NRG’s coach, daps.

They (FURIA) have been a team for a while now, […] they have way more depth than us. I think Grim did well, but this was a hard matchup.

On the next two maps, NRG would only get nine rounds total. The Kazakh AWPer showed flashes of the form that got him #6 in the world in 2025, and was able to dispatch of the North Americans.

Still, FURIA have to beat Falcons tomorrow if they want to make the playoffs in Rotterdam. KSCERATO admitted it would be a difficult one to win, but denied that there was high pressure to succeed.

Against Falcons, it will be a hard matchup. Last time in the final of BLAST, I had to win a 1v4 that got us back in the fourth map.

Despite KSCERATO saying that there was not pressure, FURIA have yet to reach the heights of last year in 2026. They reached the grand final of IEM Krakow, but have failed to make any big result.
