FURIA defeated Cloud9 with a 3-1 score in the lower bracket of the League of Legends Worlds 2026 Play-In stage. This result marks the first elimination of the tournament, ending Cloud9's competition run for the year.
Although Cloud9 secured the first map, FURIA rallied to win three consecutive games. Andrey “Ayu” Saraiva was named series MVP, finishing with a KDA of 18/6/19. This victory continues FURIA's winning streak against Cloud9, following a 3-0 result in the March Americas Cup.

Head coach Christian “IWillDominate” Rivera accepted responsibility for the team's inability to recover, citing a low performance floor as a key weakness.

FURIA will now face MVK Esports in a rematch following their previous 0-3 loss. The winner of this series will compete against Karmine Corp for a spot in the Swiss Stage. Jungler Pedro “Tatu” Seixas Brito noted that the team remains focused on their path forward.
