Map results

Overpass

Overpass was a competitive opening map that FURIA pushed to 10 rounds before Vitality closed 13-10. The defining moment arrived in Round 20 when ZywOo secured 4 AWP kills during an aggressive A-site defence - breaking FURIA's momentum at the exact point where a round win would have given them a comeback platform.

flameZ produced the most unexpected individual contribution of the map - after going the entire first half without a kill he found a massive triple-kill flank on the CT side that put Vitality in the lead for the first time. His flank converted a scoreless first half into the momentum-shifting play that gave Vitality the structural lead they closed Overpass with.

Ancient

Ancient was more comprehensive. Vitality dominated FURIA's own map pick 13-6 - the 7-round winning margin reflecting complete tactical and individual control across both halves. FalleN's Round 3 1v2 post-plant clutch kept FURIA competitive in the early game. yuurih's Round 20 1v2 clutch delayed Vitality's march but could not reverse the momentum that ZywOo's sustained output had generated across both maps.

Standout performances

ZywOo posted a 1.66 series rating with a 49-27 K-D and 97.9 ADR - the highest individual rating of the match. His 4 AWP kills in Round 20 of Overpass was the series-defining moment. His IEM Rio 2026 individual progression - 2.34 opening round, 1.84 Quarter-final, 1.66 Semi-final - reflects a player who has delivered his ceiling across every elimination match of the tournament.

ropz posted a 1.32 series rating with a 33-27 K-D and 87.1 ADR - his consistent collective output giving Vitality the structural depth behind ZywOo's primary carry role.

KSCERATO posted a 1.15 series rating with a 34-22 K-D and 96.6 ADR for FURIA - the highest individual output on the losing side. His 96.6 ADR was the highest damage per round of any player in the match. FalleN's 1v2 and yuurih's 1v2 clutch moments confirmed FURIA's individual ceiling remained competitive in isolated situations - but ZywOo's Round 20 4 AWP kills and flameZ's triple-kill flank were the 2 decisive individual moments FURIA had no equivalent answers for.
