In the knockout stage, the team showed why they were favorites. Their first victim was w7m esports. A clean 2-0 sweep (7-5 on Chalet and 7-1 on Bank) punched their ticket. This first clash set the tone for FURIA’s tactical superiority. Furthermore, the victory already secured their qualification for the BLAST R6 Major Munich in Germany.
The next challenge was FaZe Clan, their opponent from the Stage 1 final. It was, perhaps, the toughest match of their campaign so far. In a close dispute, FURIA won 2-1 (7-2 on Bank, 5-7 on Skyscraper, and 8-7 on Chalet). The last map, decided in overtime, tested the team’s nerves and proved their resilience.

Everything was decided on the Border map. On the decisive map, FURIA imposed their pace. With a solid defense and coordinated attacks, the team closed out the series 7-3. The Stage 2 title was secured, consolidating the FURIA SAL R6 champions as the dominant force in South America.
