FURIA took down B8 2-1 to make it to the final stage of the Major. 

B8 will have to play a series tomorrow against an opponent that will be determined later.

B8 and FURIA win their map picks with ease

B8 naturally picked into Mirage, as it is one of their best maps statistically and FURIA’s worst, having a mere 18% win-rate on it.

B8 turned up as a team today, as everybody posted a 1.55+ rating on Mirage.

They started on the T-side and ran circles around FURIA’s defense, taking a 9-3 half. They swept the CT-side afterwards, quickly ending Mirage before it even started.

Train started as more of the same as B8 got off to a good start, but FURIA showed why Train is their strength.

YEKINDAR starred as FURIA managed to turn their fortune around. 

FalleN and his men showed why the map is his specialty, winning 13-6.

YEKINDAR stars to take FURIA to top 16

FURIA had it all against B8 on dust2: entries, one taps and a stellar YEKINDAR and KSCERATO.

KSCERATO got a cinematic one tap in the first half as YEKINDAR had a 3k spraydown in the final round.

FURIA ran over B8 to make it to Stage 3.
