Following an action-packed Day 1, Day 2 of the BLAST Rivals Season 2 2026 has yielded the highly anticipated single-elimination playoffs. With the interesting format of BLAST Rivals, only two teams, namely Legacy and FUT, will be heading home as others prepare for the quarter-finals tomorrow.
Falcons eliminate Legacy
Starting with a 5-0 scoreline, the Falcons managed to set a dominant tone to the series early on before Legacy salvaged the half by taking 5 rounds, trailing by 2 rounds at the break. Winning the pistol, the second half saw Legacy manage to narrow down the lead before Falcons converted the lead. Winning on the weaker buy enabled them to hit double digits, leaving Legacy to play chase. Legacy’s poorly orchestrated offence failed to manage anything significant as they watched Falcons effortlessly close the opening map of the day.
Losing on Falcons’ map, Legacy failed to set a strong start on their own map pick of Mirage as their poor offensive display from the first map came back to haunt them. Falcons’ 9-round defensive performance gave them a solid lead to switch sides with confidence. With a big margin to their name, the Falcons dropped a few rounds but closed eventually, eliminating Legacy in the process with a 13-6 win as m0NESY dropped another chart-topping performance.
FURIA stun Vitality
A statement start on FURIA’s map pick against Vitality enabled them to go 11-1 up as the Brazilian side looked helpless on their offence, having secured a single round. Switching sides, the FURIA defence pulled 4 rounds, but that barely helped, as winning two back-to-back rounds saw Vitality push the opening map over the line.
Following a tough loss, FURIA bounced back with a solid display of the CT side of their own. Winning 9 rounds saw them put Vitality on the back foot on their own map pick, leaving little room for a comeback before switching sides. FURIA hit 11 off the back of their pistol round conversion, upon which Vitality managed to pull in a few rounds before the map closed with a 13-10 scoreline in favour of the Brazilians as we headed to the deciding map.
Having recovered from a tough loss, FURIA went on a tear to hand Vitality their biggest defeat of the season with a 13-0 win. A perfectly played defence saw the first half close 12-0, upon which FURIA converted the pistol, shocking fans and rivals alike and completing the reverse sweep to reach the semis.
MOUZ edge out FUT
Starting the series on FUT’s comfort pick of Cache, MOUZ’s defence roped in enough rounds to take the lead before switching sides. Despite failing to keep up, FUT levelled the scoreline in the second half, taking the series to OT. With the first OT failing to separate both sides, FUT edged out a narrow 19-16 win in the second OT to take an early lead in the series.
MOUZ hit back on their own map pick as FUT continued to give a tough fight. Playing chase in the first half, MOUZ levelled the scoreline on their defence, taking us to the OT for the second time in the series. Unlike the opening map, FUT failed to deliver as MOUZ pulled ahead in this test of resilience as the map ended with a 16-14 scoreline.
With the series levelled, MOUZ brought their A game in the final map. Winning 11 rounds on the less favoured side of Nuke, FUT had little chance to even get going. While they did pull in 3 rounds in the second half, MOUZ closed the series with a 13-4 scoreline as they secured their place in the quarter-finals.
Spirit reverse sweep G2
Opening on G2’s pick of Mirage, both teams traded rounds until Spirit secured a tight lead before switching sides. With G2 giving a tough fight on their offence, their defence is where they did the best work. With a dominant performance to kick off the series, they roped in 8 rounds to close their own map as Spirit barely reached double digits.
Spirit recovered on their own map pick with a dominant start on the offence. As they secured 8 rounds, G2 could barely keep up with 4 rounds before the end of the first half. G2 cut the lead in half, winning 2 rounds before Spirit hopped onto their streak, where they secured 6 rounds in a row to level the series and take us to the final map of the day.
Spirit’s 4-0 start was matched by a streak from G2. As the G2 offence continued to struggle, Spirit managed to edge out with a narrow 8-4 lead before the half closed. Despite converting their first buy, G2 managed to stay on the back foot as Spirit ran away with the match with a 4-round streak to close out the map and reach the semi-finals directly, as G2 will not progress beyond the quarter-finals.

Day 3 is set to take us further into the playoffs, with some of the favourites to win the tournament battling it out in this stage. While many teams will be keeping their strategy books away ahead of the Major, BLAST has a generous prize pool that might be enough to motivate these teams to give it their all and make the playoffs an action-packed affair.
