3DMAX gewinnt
Final: 3DMAX 2-0 FUT. Our pick 3DMAX was correct. The result confirms the high-risk underdog path rather than creating a broad permanent team upgrade. ([hltv.org](https://www.hltv.org/matches/2396009/3dmax-vs-fut-blast-bounty-2026-season-2))
Revised from FUT after our recent 3DMAX miss: 3DMAX beating magic after we picked against them is a material current-event signal for BLAST Bounty online volatility and for their ability to punish a favored opponent’s map path. FUT still have a stronger class profile and beat SINNERS, but the dropped opener confirmed their series can become grindy.
Match is online. FUT’s older three-month form contains stronger opposition wins, but under the new-season reset and this online Stage 1/Stage 2 environment, 3DMAX’s current-event punishment signal receives more weight than the first pass gave it.
LAN Finals qualification pressure no longer clearly favors FUT because 3DMAX have already shown comfort as the punishing underdog in this exact event environment. This remains a very thin upset-lean rather than a strong favorite call.
