Map results

Mirage

NaVi dominated Map 1 Mirage 13-3 - the most one-sided opening map of the Group B Upper Semi-finals. iM and w0nderful led a completely one-sided blowout that gave NaVi the series lead and appeared to confirm their 11-6 historical head-to-head advantage over FURIA would translate into an upper bracket Final appearance. The 10-round winning margin reflected NaVi at their collective tactical best - their Mirage preparation systematically dismantling FURIA's defensive setups before the home crowd environment could generate the individual momentum that YEKINDAR's 2.10 Nuke rating against Passion UA had demonstrated was possible.

Dust2

FURIA responded with their own dominant performance - taking Dust2 13-4 to completely level the series. The 9-round winning margin mirrored NaVi's Mirage dominance in reverse - FURIA's collective system producing a Map 2 result as comprehensive as NaVi's Map 1 performance. The Farmasi Arena crowd's reaction to FURIA's Dust2 control transformed the series atmosphere entirely - NaVi's Mirage blowout forgotten as FURIA's own 13-4 statement set up the decider that the home crowd had been waiting for.

Nuke

Nuke was the defining map of IEM Rio 2026 Group B and one of the most dramatic deciders of the entire tournament. NaVi led 9-3 at halftime - a 6-round deficit that appeared to end FURIA's playoff hopes before the second half had begun. The Farmasi Arena crowd refused to accept the deficit as decisive.

FURIA won 3 out of 3 clutch situations across the second half - the most complete individual clutch performance of any team in IEM Rio 2026 Group B play. Their second-half response converted the 9-3 deficit into an overtime before closing Nuke 16-13 - a comeback that required winning 13 of the remaining 19 rounds across the second half and overtime against a NaVi lineup that had won 9 of the first 12 rounds with complete control.

Standout performances

KSCERATO posted a 1.28 series rating with a 52-38 K-D and 84.5 ADR - the highest individual rating of the match. His Nuke second-half output was the primary individual driver of FURIA's 3-clutch comeback - his ability to win isolated high-pressure situations against NaVi's established defensive system the individual foundation that the Farmasi Arena crowd fuelled across the closing rounds of overtime. His 52-kill total across 3 maps reflected a player whose tournament form peaked in the highest-pressure series of FURIA's IEM Rio 2026 campaign.

yuurih posted a 1.19 series rating with a 48-41 K-D and 79.2 ADR - the second highest individual output of the match. His sustained series-level output across all 3 maps gave FURIA the collective individual depth that their Nuke comeback required - a player who contributed competitive individual scoring even during the 9-3 halftime deficit when the psychological pressure was at its maximum.

w0nderful posted a 1.15 series rating with a 45-39 K-D and 71.8 ADR for NaVi - the highest individual output of any NaVi player across the series. His Mirage dominance alongside iM gave NaVi their most complete individual collective performance of the Upper Semi-final before FURIA's Dust2 and Nuke responses reversed the series. His 45-kill total across 3 maps reflected a player who competed at his individual ceiling in a series NaVi ultimately could not close.
