FURIA has finished the second day of the Esports World Cup<\/a> Counter-Strike 2 event undefeated after beating FlyQuest, Sashi and The Mongolz in the last chance stage to book their spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Following a disappointing performance on the opening day against Natus Vincere, where they were convincingly beaten 2-0 by the reigning Counter-Strike 2<\/a> Major champions, the all-Brazilian roster rattled off three straight wins to advance.<\/p>\n

FURIA’s first series was an international battle between Brazil and Australia, as the world number 18 took on the all-Aussie squad of FlyQuest.<\/p>\n

After a back-and-forth first half that ended 7-5 in favour of the Brazilians, FURIA won six straight rounds in the second half to claim a 13-5 victory on Nuke.<\/p>\n

The second series of the day should have been much easier for FURIA, as they clashed with Sashi, who is 14 places lower than them on the world rankings; however, the Danish squad pushed them all the way to overtime.<\/p>\n

Both teams traded 8-4 halves on Nuke before going to overtime, where FURIA claimed seven of the 10 rounds to take a gritty 19-15 victory and advance to the grand final against The Mongolz.<\/p>\n

Their opponent had a much easier run to the final, recording dominant wins over MIBR (13-2) and M80 (13-8) in their first two matches of the bracket.<\/p>\n

For the third straight series, FURIA played on Nuke and they started hot against the Mongolian roster, claiming an 8-4 halftime lead.<\/p>\n

The two teams traded rounds in the second half, which allowed FURIA to wrap up the match in the 22nd round and record a 13-9 win.<\/p>\n

With the win, FURIA booked their spot in the playoffs, setting up a clash with MOUZ in the quarter-finals. <\/p>\n
