Are you following the ESL PRO LEAGUE CS? Fúria is playing Aurora today and has everything it takes to win, and they're coming in with great morale thanks to their last championship win. And since 2022, Fúria hasn't finished in the top 8 of the championship. Will they make it this time?

Furia just won 2-1 against Aurora. Molodoy played so well to finish the series with the AWP, there was no way for aurora at the end. And YEKINDAR just become a full ninja always going behind without being noticed.

They are now top 5 in the hltv rankings and I think they can climb even more with how well they are playing.

A legend organization for dota 2 is back again in action. If you guys have remember, Vici Gaming. One of the strongest teams before, they're back in action. And the announcement is just announced recently, the chinese region have got another team to be supported by their community.

Seems like the chinese region really want to revamp their legacy huh especially after their regions were showing up in TI

-snip

So any thoughts on the game tomorrow? I personally gonna lean on Navi against Mongolz on the decider game but this is a personal opinion. Mongolz is way better than Navi though. I guess going for over maps would be pretty good decision here

G2 is gonna win against 3Dmax

Aurora and Faze are pretty even teams so I probably gonna skip them

Yeah, sure they do. And not just after they've shown in TI but also the next TI on 2026 is what they should be prepared for. They shouldn't make the chinese community upset that there will be few teams to participate that event in Shanghai and that's why it's very important for them to make sure that they secure as many slots as they can when that happens. And only the strongest teams on their region will be a part of it, so trying to revamp rosters composed with good players is a must for them. I think that all teams there coordinates and balances the roster of each team.

After seeing Aurora playing against Furia yesterday, they do seem to have improved and took them to a three map contest.
But Faze has a familiar face returning to their squad and that is Twistzz.
https://blix.gg/news/cs-2/twistzz-comes-home-the-blockbuster-return-to-faze
His first day back was against 3DMAX so it was the settling back match for him but he played much better vs Astralis and Inner Circle. So this will be challenge to see if he hasn't lost his touch against Aurora.

The Mongolz are playing solid CS and won a bet I had on them along with Furia so sticking with them when they face Navi in a couple of minutes.
As for G2 vs 3Dmax will go with the samurais.

Yes, Yekindar and Molody are really carrying the Furia team. With Fallen helping them improve, they're likely to secure many semifinal appearances, and as they learn, they'll win more championships! Buying these guys was a great move!

Funny how Saberlight is playing amazingly since he joined Avulus right ? because it was well known that in Liquid he was the last option in draft or the most weak pick and we rarely saw the true potential of Saberlight but now with Avulus ...he is in his mojo and playing super so far with very high chances for Avulus to win entire tournament.

The other team who is playing great is Virtus Pro who after years and years of changing players and entire rosters , found a way to make 5 players work together but also having insane skills so eyes on this VP squad.

I guess that's because out of the roster of Avulus, he's the only one that has been to the recent TI. While lorenof has been with the TI last year, it seems that he's making the calls there and that's why he plays well. Compared to Liquid, that team has got a good players as well so there could be ego issues. I'm happy that I was able to bet for them against Runa @3.50.

I agree, after ramzes, no one, 9pasha, lil/solo and rodger. This is the next good roster that they have come up with. They're up against Mouz and I bet for this new VP roster, been following them lately. This is a tiebreaker though.

You know what, Im glad that I was actually busy today and forgot to place bets on this because both Mongolz and G2 lost their game. They even lost horribly without getting a map. Well I guess this serves as another reminder for me not to really touch things that I dont really understand lol.

Tier 1 dota2 tournament back in a week, Im gonna go back to my turf and watch cs2 from the sidelines for now lol. I might throw in a bet or two on the playoffs though depending if there is any top favourites team against non favourite. Pretty much lousy idea but it works for me so far on cs2 lol

I knew the dogs were about to bounce back, but 3/3 is wild, as FaZe also manages to complete their reverse run with an upset over Aurora.

The matchups for the playoffs are already set, with almost all of them having a clear favorite except for the Mouz-Navi series. After those upsets, I hope we're back to the favorites winning again because it could be a banger to see another Falcons vs. Mouz rematch and then Vitality vs. Spirit on the other side of the bracket.

I really want to see Furia vs Vitality because Furia is very good right now and facing the top 1 from hltv ranking and winning can send a strong message that they are back for more trophies, especially Fallen after so many years playing in the top tier, to be winning everything would be a dream for his fans while he doesn't stop for good.

I completely agree with this message I saw about furia's last game against aurora:

now it's clear that FalleN still got as an IGL. Just look at this team: ROTY found on T3, revived Yekindar's career, making KSCERATO killing WITHOUT BAITING and making Yuurih play solid. I mean.. you gotta give the man his props

tbh I was gonna go with Aurora as well though, It would have been disaster for me.

I just realized that there is no button for the h2h record on cs2 unlike dota2 although both are actually run by liquipedia. This actually makes it hard for me because I dont really follow cs2 scene. Well yeah I know some top teams that would dominate their game but having h2h record would be nice though

I guess taking Team Vitality and Team Falcons would be pretty neat in this case, those two are clear favourites compared to the other two

Seems I was to confident about new roster of Avulus but nevertheless they look like a solid A tier team with high chances to improve and become an S tier team but they still have a lot to practice as during their games they have moments when they are afk on map hitting creeps and that is where the enemy team recovers as Avulus have awkward farm pattern for all 3 cores .

Saw Aurora getting kicked out of the tournament and one of the players had their head flat on the desk. They took that defeat hard against Furia.
They came so close but got outsmarted out of the last few rounds to lose it.

Placed bets on all matches and had to cashout on first Mongolz then on G2. These two tier 1 teams didn't look that way through out the match.
Thought Mongolz were going to breeze by their opponents with going 13-0 first map. But managed to lose all momentum after that.
Only Faze with Twistzz had me win my balance back from the previous two matches on the day.

Tomorrow, on the 10th, Fúria will play against Vitality in the ESL PRO LEAGUE playoffs. I'm confident in the tactics the Brazilian team has been demonstrating in recent matches, and they're putting them into practice and correcting all their mistakes. Do you believe Fúria will win, or will Vitality have the upper hand in this matchup?

Avulus has a good chance, I think that I'm even seeing them and winning my bets before the last TI. But with the Fissure tournament that's happening now, they've got 2 support stand-ins. One is thiolicor and the other is puppey. There's still a lot of room for growth to this team and I think that they'll be one of the strongest team in the region.


Going on with the roster transfers, speaking of Avulus, they just went ahead against the new roster of Aurora Gaming which consists now of the following;



Although the notes said, Mikoto is a stand in, we can notice that Oli is now moved to EEU. It's also likely that they'll take him once they end good for this tournament.

Another one is with Team Liquid, Insania has announced his retirement and as they lack of support 5 and position 3 offlane, surprisingly, the replacements are Ace and Tofu.

ESL pro league playoffs are starting today with 4 matchups in the Quarter finals-



Spirit vs faze should be good win for spirit, faze have had some good series this EPL but spirit are on fire too with their new addition and this should be comfortable

Furia vs vitality could be close but furia have been inconsistent and i think this is the day when vitality comes back in form

Mouz Navi would be one sided a few weeks back but navi are in form this should be a 3 mapper close series

Falcons are huge favorites vs 3dmax, both these teams never fail to surprise in good or bad directions so very hard to call here

Thinking FURIA will win this matchup against Team Vitality in the last one of the day.
For the last month Vitality has been struggling when it comes to these majors and getting deep within the playoffs. Starting in this tournament they looked bad getting beat by the likes of gentle mates losing both maps. As for FURIA their gameplay has been the opposite.

@rohang
Team Falcons match began about an hour ago and 3DMax look to be dominating them early on being up 7-2 on the first map.
Looking forward to see Team Spirit vs Faze with their new lineup after the Mouz vs Navi match.

I'd also give FURIA a higher chance of winning than the odds say, but this series still depends on Vitality. I've seen Zywoo go cold after one map, but it still didn't matter since his teammates are always there to pick up the pieces.

Team Falcons match began about an hour ago and 3DMax look to be dominating them early on being up 7-2 on the first map.

That's expected from 3DMax since the first map (Inferno) is their map pick, and it's their bread and butter against tier one teams. Falcons quickly secured their map pick Ancient right after that, and it might get ugly on Nuke.

The score is currently 1-0 to Fúria. So they're doing well. I hope they close out this second game quickly without too much trouble. They seem to be tactically superior and playing well. Will Vitality be able to equalize?

It was all Vitality in the last two maps and during the decider, it only got difficult for Furia since molodoy couldn't bring the same impact he had during the first map.

I'm more shocked about the only upset in that quarterfinal, knowing it was also the most one-sided series on paper after Spirit eased through the groups.



It'd be wild if they somehow shock us again later today versus Vitality, and I don't mind seeing them going all the way, as it'll be Rain's last tournament under the FaZe jersey.
