G2 vs FURIA prediction — Esports World Cup 2026

Key factors

• Final result: FURIA beat G2 2-1 at Esports World Cup 2026; maps were Ancient 13-3 for FURIA, Anubis 13-3 for G2, and Dust2 13-4 for FURIA.
• The pick's FURIA class/current-event edge held, with FURIA winning the two decisive maps very heavily despite dropping their own Anubis pick.
• The stated risk that G2 had enough map depth to punish a poor path was real on Anubis, but FURIA's star/rifle layer recovered strongly on the decider.

Notes

Confirms FURIA's current-event form as a tournament-scoped signal only, not a permanent team bias.

Momentum

Both teams show a 3-match win streak, but FURIA's current-event wins over Aurora, 9z and Wildcard plus stronger overall class give them a narrow quarter-final edge over G2's wins versus Astralis, BIG and M80.

LAN form

FURIA's LAN form over the last 1-3 months is slightly stronger, though G2's recent rebound prevents a higher confidence number.

Psychology

Quarter-final pressure narrows the edge. FURIA have more proven late-tournament firepower, but G2's current momentum and balanced rifle core make this a standard, not strong, pick.

Key risks

• G2 are also on a 3-match win streak and have enough map depth to punish a poor FURIA veto path.
• Quarter-final pressure and same-day scheduling make economy swings and close-map closing important volatility factors.
• FURIA's pick depends on KSCERATO/molodoy-level impact holding up; if G2 neutralize that star layer, the series becomes near 50/50.
