Eight teams. Five days. One last tier-one stop before the Major.
BLAST Rivals Fall 2026 runs November 11 to 15 at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, with $1,000,000 on the line. Every team here is already headed to Singapore, so this is a form check with real money attached.
These CS2 predictions cover the top 3 in each group, in order. On GoCore Pick'ems, a correct pick is +1 and a wrong one is -1. The order matters as much as the names.
Most CS2 tournaments with GSL groups end on a decider match. This one does not.
Each group plays four best-of-three series: two openers, one winner's match and one elimination match. Win your opener and you are in the playoffs.
The winner's match decides the top two. The winner takes first and skips straight to the semifinals. The loser takes second and a high seed in the quarterfinals.
The elimination match decides third. The winner gets the low seed in the quarterfinals. The loser goes home.
The openers are done. FURIA swept Legacy. Vitality swept Falcons with apEX back in the lineup. Both winners are through, and Thursday's winner's match decides who finishes first.
1st: Vitality. The full roster is back together. ZywOo and ropz closed out the Falcons series when it got tight. That is the version of Vitality you back in a one-series shootout.
2nd: FURIA. The defending Hong Kong champions arrive with two recent trophies and a clean opener. The concern is a heavy schedule. Second place still gives them a high seed, which makes this a safe pick.
3rd: Falcons. They lost both maps to Vitality by the same narrow margin, and m0NESY looked sharp. Legacy struggled to create openings against FURIA. Falcons should win the elimination match.
1st: Team Spirit. Spirit skipped IEM Beijing and come in rested. Their recent results have been shakier than their summer form, but donk and sh1ro with fresh legs are a strong bet across two series. They open against FUT.
2nd: MOUZ. MOUZ just won IEM Beijing without dropping a series and open against G2. They are the form team of the group. They also had only days to recover, and that is the gap Spirit can exploit in the winner's match.
3rd: G2. This is the bold pick on the card. G2 finished joint-last at their last two events. FUT are trending up with SunPayus, the former G2 AWPer. Backing G2 in the elimination match is a call on experience under pressure. If you want one contrarian pick, this is it.
Keep CS2 live scoring open on Thursday. The two winner's matches decide first and second in both groups, and a single map can flip your card.
The next CS2 tournament after Hong Kong is the PGL Singapore Major, with Stage 1 starting November 24. What you see this week is the closest thing to a dress rehearsal.
Watch how Vitality look with their full five. Watch whether Spirit's rest pays off. Those answers will shape your Major picks too.
Lock your group picks on GoCore Pick'ems before Thursday's matches begin. Once you confirm, there are no changes.
Think G2 over FUT is a step too far? Share your top 3 with the community and see who reads the groups best.
