FURIA are champions in Hong Kong again. The Brazilian side swept Team Spirit 3-0 in the best-of-five grand final of BLAST Premier Rivals Hong Kong 2026 at AsiaWorld-Arena on Sunday, November 15, defending the title they won at the event in 2025.
BLAST confirmed the result in its official press release, and the official blast.tv match page lists the final at 3-0. HLTV’s match report backs up every map score.
How the grand final went
- Ancient: FURIA 13-11. The closest map of the series. Spirit pushed it to 11 rounds behind donk and sh1ro, but FURIA closed it out late.
- Dust2: FURIA 13-5. Spirit led early, then molodoy sparked a comeback and FURIA dominated the second half on the CT side.
- Mirage: FURIA 13-8. Tied 6-6 at the half, before FURIA pulled away again to finish the sweep.
Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player by BLAST. He led the final in kills and damage on both BLAST’s and HLTV’s stat sheets.

Why this one matters
According to BLAST, this is FURIA’s third trophy in their last four tournaments, and HLTV reports the same run. It also adds another BLAST title for captain Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, who BLAST says is retiring at the end of the year. That leaves the PGL Singapore Major as his last shot at one more big trophy.
BLAST also said the grand final closed out its 2026 Counter-Strike season, and it announced that Rivals will return to Hong Kong for a third straight year, from November 8 to 14, 2027. More than 30,000 fans attended across three days of playoffs, according to the organizer.
Our take
This was supposed to be a test against one of the strongest teams in the world, and FURIA made it look routine after a nervy Ancient. Spirit leaned heavily on donk again, while FURIA got impact from almost everyone, with KSCERATO closing rounds and FalleN calling a clean game. If this form holds, FalleN’s farewell run at the Singapore Major is suddenly one of the best storylines in Counter-Strike. A Major title would be a fitting final chapter for one of the game’s great leaders.
