In a tight two-map playoff decider at BLAST Open Rotterdam, Aurora defeated FURIA 2-0, taking Dust2 16-14 in overtime and closing out Inferno 13-6 to secure their spot.

TYLOO edged FaZe 2-1 at BLAST Open Rotterdam, winning Mirage 13-11 and Overpass 13-11 after dropping Ancient 8-13.

FURIA had earlier defeated TYLOO 2-0 in Rotterdam, with Mirage 13-8 and Overpass 13-11 en route to the upper-bracket semi-finals.

FaZe’s stars showed mixed form, with karrigan and broky delivering moments while Twistzz and frozen struggled on the decisive final map.

karrigan candidly said the team controls its own fate and must perform at DraculaN to qualify for the Major, underscoring the pressure on the next events.

FURIA pushed for a comeback through individual plays and late-round pressure but couldn’t convert enough rounds to force a map, leaving Rotterdam without a win.

On Anubis, PARIVISION dominated the T-side with tight pistol rounds and multi-kill entries, while Spirit couldn’t convert their late-round chances and faltered on defense.

Head coach Sid Macedo noted that if FalleN’s team advanced, he would have to substitute in playoffs; however, Cerato stressed that lineup changes and communication issues are ongoing during Stage 2.

FaZe opened Ancient with a 5-0 lead, but TYLOO rallied behind Mercury and Moseyuh to clinch the map and the series.

KSCERATO expressed optimism for Aurora’s stability and chemistry, and anticipated veto discussions around Ancient as the teams prepare for the next matchups.

karrigan delivered clutch 1v2 and multi-kill plays on Mirage and Overpass, remaining FaZe’s central driving force in Rotterdam.

FaZe’s Major chances are in doubt after a 3-11 series run in 2026, risking exclusion from IEM Cologne Major ahead of DraculaN Season 6.
