BLAST Rivals Hong Kong 2026: Semi-finals CS2 Betting Preview

Bruno Sobieraj Published November 13, 2026

The big hitters came to play at BLAST Rivals Hong Kong 2026 — the last big tier-one event before the PGL Singapore Major. It’s a massive opportunity for potential Major challengers to gain some much-needed confidence right before the business end of the season.

With that said, here’s our BLAST Rivals Hong Kong 2026 semi-finals CS2 betting preview.

Spirit vs MOUZ

Around six months ago, many people were skeptical about MOUZ’s pre-Major roster changes, but they seem to have set them up perfectly to finish 2026 as the world’s best CS2 team. They just took down a stand-in-less Vitality on the stage, avenging their ESL Pro League Season 24 Grand Final loss and sealing Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut’s worst LAN event performance to date.

On the other hand, Spirit are not in a good place right now, even though they’ve already made it to the semis in Hong Kong. In the past, Spirit very rarely lost to anyone outside of the best CS2 teams, but recent losses against 1Win, BetBoom, Aurora, and NAVI pose questions about their form coming into the Major.

When it comes to this specific semi-final matchup, MOUZ comfortably has the upper hand. The IEM Beijing 2026 champions came out on top the past three occasions and look better in virtually every in-game aspect than their upcoming opponents.

The only saving grace for Spirit could be the donk factor, but even he seems to be struggling recently. Nicking a map off MOUZ should be considered a decent showing from Spirit.

Score prediction:

• Spirit 1:2 MOUZ

Odds:

• Spirit Win: 2.24
• MOUZ Win: 1.62

FURIA vs Falcons

The second semi-final at BLAST Rivals Hong Kong 2026 is much more even and difficult to call. Arguments could be made for both teams to take home the win and progress to the Grand Final, but we’re leaning towards FURIA closing this one out.

Much like last year, the Brazilians (+molodoy and YEKINDAR) have started to perform in the Fall, claiming the Thunderpick World Championship 2026 and PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 trophies. What’s even more wild was their victory over Vitality at this event, where they handed them a shocking 13-0 defeat on Mirage.

As for Falcons, their form since winning the IEM Cologne Major 2026 has been dire — they made the top 4 only once outside of this tournament. The only thing going for them is their record against FURIA, whom they haven’t lost to at all this year.

Despite the favorable matchup, Falcons haven’t shown enough in their recent performances to even come close to beating FURIA. In the GOAT IGL meeting, Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo should have the measure of Finn “karrigan” Andersen this time around.

Score prediction:

• FURIA 2:1 Falcons

Odds:

• FURIA Win: 1.81
• Falcons Win: 1.96
