Brazilian side FURIA secured a place in the semi-finals of IEM Kraków after a convincing 2–0 victory over Aurora in the quarter-finals. For the Turkish team, the match became another disappointment on the big stage — after several strong performances earlier in the tournament, they were unable to put up a real fight in front of a live audience.
The standout player of the series was Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato, who delivered one of the strongest performances of the event, finishing the match with an impressive 1.80 rating.
On Dust2, Aurora’s map pick, FURIA ended the first half with a narrow 7:5 lead on the T side. In the second half, the Brazilian squad fully controlled the pace of the game and confidently closed the map 13:7.
Mirage proved to be even more one-sided. The Turkish lineup managed to secure only three rounds on the defensive side, and after losing the pistol round, their comeback hopes faded completely. FURIA quickly wrapped up the map 13:4, leaving Aurora with no chance to recover.
Across the series, Kaike Cerato recorded 46 kills and 18 deaths, earning the MVP honors.
In the semi-final, scheduled for Saturday, FURIA will face Spirit.
As a reminder, NAVI have recently unveiled their updated Brawl Stars roster.
