All playoff participants of BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 2 in Counter-Strike 2 have been determined in Hong Kong. MOUZ, Vitality, G2, Falcons, Spirit, and FURIA will continue fighting for the tournament title. Two more teams — FUT and Legacy — have ended their runs.
The playoffs will begin on November 13 with the quarterfinals. Vitality and MOUZ will play first, followed by G2 facing Falcons. The winners of these matchups will advance to the semifinals, where Spirit will be waiting on one side of the bracket and FURIA on the other.
