An all-Brazilian clash sets the tone for the quarterfinals, with FURIA entering as the higher seed and firm favourite. They’ve shown more composure in big-stage matches and bring a deeper tactical foundation into this best-of-three.
PaiN are scrappy and aggressive, but they’ve struggled against methodical teams who slow down the pace and force discipline. If FURIA can take control of the map veto and break momentum early, they should march into the semifinals.

This quarterfinal is one of the most intriguing matchups of the bracket. Team Spirit have cruised through Stage 3 with clean, high-percentage Counter-Strike and enter as clear favourites. Their map pool is well rounded and their ability to close out tight games is among the best in the tournament.
MOUZ aren’t to be counted out — they’ve shown resilience through every elimination match — but this is a major step up. If Spirit impose their tempo and dominate early economy rounds, it’s hard to see MOUZ clawing back over a full series.
