At the BLAST London Open, FURIA Esports defeated world number one Spirit 2-0 to advance to the knockout stage.

After the match, FURIA Esports player YEKINDAR discussed the team's goals for the tournament in an interview.

"Our goal hasn't changed. After the Major and before Cologne, we decided we had to play as many tournaments in large venues as possible. We have players like molodoy who don't have much experience playing in large venues, and I haven't played in a year. So we just want to play as many tournaments as possible, and that's our mindset going into this event."

YEKINDAR also mentioned that while defeating Spirit was a great result, it was an online match, and online and offline matches are always different. FURIA Esports will next face Mouz , and the winner of this match will directly secure a spot in the semifinals.
