For the first time in a long time, Brazil’s two biggest and best Counter-Strike teams are set to face off in the playoffs of a big tournament. That’s because PGL Astana is set to host a showdown between MIBR and Furia Esports.

PGL Astana hasn’t really gone to plan. Virtus.pro, GamerLegion, and G2 Esports fell short of the playoffs. Furia, MIBR, and Ninjas in Pyjamas were happy to take their spots, though. Unfortunately for Brazilian Counter-Strike fans, this matchup will force one more Brazilian team out of the tournament.

But who will end up taking this one?

Furia vs MIBR in-depth team analysis

Furia roster and recent results

The Furia roster got a big shakeup prior to PGL Astana, but the early outlook for the team is positive. After an opening round loss to The MongolZ, Furia recovered and blazed its way to the playoffs with wins over GamerLegion, MIBR, and ODDIK.

Furia is currently playing with one stand-in who will be with the team through the BLAST Austin Major:

Yuri “yuurih” Boian
Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato
Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo
Danil “molodoy” Golubenko
Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis

Furia map pool

In 2025, Furia has a winrate hovering between 60% and 40% across all active duty maps, with two exceptions. The team bans Ancient and is 4-9 on Mirage this year. The roster changes may improve Furia’s fortunes, though.

MIBR roster and recent results

MIBR scored a big upset win over G2 Esports in the first round of PGL Astana but was pushed to the brink of elimination by losses to MIBR and The MongolZ. A win over regional rival Pain Gaming kept MIBR alive and another upset win over Virtus.pro got the team into the playoffs.

MIBR’s roster remains unchanged for PGL Astana:

Raphael “exit” Lacerda
Breno “brnz4n” Poletto
Felipe “insani” Yuji
Rafael “saffee” Costa
Lucas “Lucaozy” Neves

MIBR map pool

MIBR has been struggling throughout 2025, and has a losing record across Nuke, Ancient, Inferno, and Train. Inferno is particularly troublesome for MIBR, with the team going 4-11 to this point in the year. Its best map has been Mirage, where the team has gone 7-4.
