FURIA at the PGL Singapore Major 2026
FURIA won two titles in October and reached the last Major final, but they lost their last two series at IEM Beijing.
FURIA are the highest-ranked team from the Americas at Singapore. Valve's Regional Standings (VRS) of November 2 put them #3 in the world, so they skip the first two Swiss stages and start in Stage 3 on December 2. The invite is confirmed. They come in with titles at the Thunderpick World Championship and PGL Masters Bucharest in October, and they reached the grand final of the last Major, IEM Cologne in June, which Falcons won.

Model odds
FURIA are seed 3 of 16 in Stage 3 (from December 2). Chances from our model:

The model plays the event 20,000 times with Valve's Swiss pairing rules; each map win chance comes only from VRS points (Valve's expected-score formula, softened), so it knows nothing about form, maps or roster news. It is not a betting tip. For Stage 3, the opponents are the 8 invited teams plus the most likely qualifiers of the earlier stages; title odds come from full-event runs. Calculated November 8, 2026.

Strengths
- They close out finals. FURIA won two best-of-five finals in two weeks, both 3-2: against BETBOOM on October 18 and against Nemiga on October 31.
- Dust2 and Cache. In the Bucharest final they won Dust2 13-5 and Cache 13-2. They also won Dust2 13-6 and Cache 13-6 in the Thunderpick final, and Cache 13-4 against FaZe and 13-10 against Natus Vincere at IEM Beijing.
- Results against the top seed. FURIA beat MOUZ, the VRS #1, 2-1 in the PGL Masters Bucharest semifinal.
Weaknesses
- Ancient lately. Since October FURIA lost Ancient in every series we found where it was played: to FaZe (11-13) and Natus Vincere (12-16) at IEM Beijing, to Nemiga (2-13) in the Bucharest final and to BETBOOM (16-19) in the Thunderpick final. At the Esports World Cup in August they still won it against Aurora, G2 and Legacy.
- Mixed record against MOUZ. The Bucharest win came after two 0-2 losses to MOUZ at ESL Pro League Season 24.
- A flat week in Beijing. They lost 1-2 to The MongolZ and 1-2 to BETBOOM, a team they had beaten four times in October.
Key player
YEKINDAR carried FURIA in the PGL Masters Bucharest final: 82 kills and a 1.56 rating over five maps, and he led the scoreboard on three of them. molodoy is the other one to watch: he led FURIA with 56 kills (1.34 rating) in the 2-1 semifinal win over MOUZ.
Pick'Em verdict
Use FURIA as an advance (3-1/3-2) pick in Stage 3. The model gives them about an 82% chance to get through and only about a 2% chance of going 0-3. That matches our model Pick'Em, which lists FURIA among the advance picks. Their 3-0 chance (about 29%) is only just behind MOUZ and Vitality, and two October titles make FURIA a fair 3-0 swap if you trust form over ranking. The IEM Beijing exit and the Ancient record are the reasons we keep them in the advance slot.
