Map results

Icebox

FURIA dominated Icebox 13-5 in their most comprehensive opening map of Week 4. artzin's 1.65 series rating was established from the first map - his individual output the primary driver of FURIA's 8-round Icebox winning margin. The comprehensive result reflected a map where FURIA's preparation for Sentinels' established Icebox tendencies was precise - their attack and defence execution giving Sentinels no consistent round cluster window before the 13-5 close.

Sunset

Sentinels levelled the series on Sunset 13-6 - their most dominant individual map performance of the series and a result that gave johnqt's IGL system the specific Sentinels surface advantage their preparation had been built around. Jerrwin's 1.05 series rating gave Sentinels the secondary scoring output that johnqt's system amplified across Sunset's rounds - their comprehensive 7-round winning margin reflecting a map where FURIA's defensive structure had no specific counter for Sentinels' Sunset execution.

Haven

Haven was the series-closing masterclass. artzin posted a 1.93 map rating and 392 ACS - the standout individual map performance of VCT Americas 2026 Stage 1 Week 4 and one of the highest individual map ratings of the entire Stage 1 competition. His Haven performance was virtually single-handed in its impact - FURIA's 8-round winning margin on the decider reflecting a player whose individual ceiling in this specific map environment reached a level that Sentinels' preparation had no answer for. His 1.93 Haven rating surpassed even Saadhak's 2.16 Split rating against FURIA in terms of the contextual decisiveness of the individual output - a player clinching playoff qualification with the highest individual map performance of his Stage 1 campaign.

Standout performances

artzin posted a 1.65 series rating and 274 ACS - the highest individual rating of the match by a significant margin. His Haven 1.93 map rating and 392 ACS was the defining individual performance of Week 4 - a player whose map-specific ceiling on Haven confirmed FURIA's playoff qualification in the most emphatic individual way possible.

koalanoob posted a 1.25 series rating and 256 ACS - the second highest individual output for FURIA. His consistent scoring alongside artzin's primary carry gave FURIA the 2-player collective depth that Sentinels' preparation could not match across Icebox and Haven.

Jerrwin posted a 1.05 series rating and 257 ACS for Sentinels - the highest ACS on the Sentinels side and the standout individual output on the losing team. His competitive scoring across both maps confirmed Sentinels' individual ceiling was genuine - but artzin's Haven 1.93 ceiling was the individual performance that no preparation could have specifically prevented.
