FURIA beat Nemiga 3-2 to win PGL Masters Bucharest 2026

Five maps for the trophy

The final opened with a heavy setback for FURIA as Nemiga won Ancient 13-2. The Brazilian side answered by taking Dust2 and Cache, turning a poor start into a lead in the series. Nemiga kept the match alive by winning Mirage, so the trophy was decided on Nuke. FURIA seized control there, closed the map 13-6, and completed a 3-2 victory.

This was Nemiga’s first final at this level. The team reached the fifth map and responded after losing two maps in succession, but it could not sustain that recovery on the decider. FURIA refused to let the opening rout define the series and won three of the next four maps to secure the championship.

Two trophies in thirteen days

The Bucharest victory gave FURIA a second consecutive tier-one title in only 13 days. That short interval makes the result more than an isolated successful event and strengthens the evidence of the team’s current form. Nemiga’s defeat still came with a breakthrough: its first final of this scale ended in a competitive series against an opponent already carrying recent championship experience.
