The Group B upper-bracket final is set, as Team Falcons and MOUZ advanced out of their semifinal matches Saturday at the BLAST Open Fall 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
They will face off Monday while Legacy and IC Esports, the teams they defeated Saturday, will play in a pair of lower-bracket semis on Sunday. The Group A upper-bracket final also is Monday, with Team Spirit facing FURIA.
The $1.1 million Counter-Strike 2 event features 16 teams divided into two groups for the double-elimination opening stage. The group winners advance to the playoff semifinals. The group runners-up move on to the playoff quarterfinals as high seeds, while the two third-place teams head to the playoff quarterfinals as low seeds. The remaining teams will be eliminated.
All group-stage matches are best-of-three.
The single-elimination playoffs, which begin Sept. 4 in Porto, Portugal, will feature best-of-three matches in the quarterfinals and semifinals. The grand final on Sept. 6 will be best-of-five.
The championship team will receive $250,000 ($150,000 for the players, $100,000 for the club) plus three BLAST Frequent Flyer Tokens.
On Saturday, Falcons opened the first match with a 13-6 win on Mirage, which Legacy answered with a 13-10 win on Ancient. But Falcons took the deciding map, 13-6 on Dust II. Russia’s Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov tallied a match-high 56 kills while compatriot Maksim “kyousuke” Lukin had 50 kills in the win. Brazilian Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer led the losing team with 44 kills.
In the second match, MOUZ swept past IC with ease, winning 13-4 on Ancient and 13-5 on Mirage. Dorian “xertioN” Berman and Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, both from Israel, combined for 71 kills in the win. Arseniy “cptkurtka023” Derevinskiy and Daniil “headtr1ck” Valitov of the all-Ukrainian IC squad had 19 kills apiece in the loss.
In the lower-bracket quarterfinals, FUT Esports beat Lynn Vision Gaming 2-1 — overcoming a 13-10 loss on Dust II to win 13-3 on Anubis and 13-7 on Ancient. Team Vitality swept 9z Team, 13-2 on Dust II and 13-6 on Nuke.
Both groups will set their lower-bracket finals on Sunday as each plays its semifinal matches.
