Today, June 21, the grand final of IEM Cologne Major 2026 will take place. For FURIA captain Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, this will be the 18th best-of-five (BO5) final of his career.
FalleN boasts an impressive record in BO5 finals. The Brazilian has lost only two finals played in a best-of-five format — at IEM Krakow 2026 and IEM Katowice 2016.
Notably, FalleN has faced Finn "karrigan" Andersen, now the captain of Falcons, in two Major finals. On both occasions, the Brazilian emerged victorious over the Dane.
IEM Cologne Major 2026 is taking place from June 2 to June 21 in Cologne, Germany. The tournament features a prize pool of $1.25 million.
As a reminder, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced his ambition to turn London into the global capital of esports.
