Furia Wins First CS2 S-Tier Trophy in Five Years at Fissure Playground 2

On Sept. 21, 2025, Furia finally won its first Counter-Strike 2 S-tier trophy after five years. While still a contender, Furia is often sidelined by heavy-hitting teams such as Team Falcons and The MongolZ, the latter being their grand final opponents in this tournament.

Furia had a pretty smooth playoffs after getting out of the group stage with a 3-1 record, only losing to Aurora. On the way to the grand final, they had to fight Astralis and Team Falcons, both of which Furia dominated with a quick 2-map win.

The MongolZ, on the other hand, had a shaky path. They fought against G2 Esports and Team Liquid on their path to the finals, and both games went 2-1. A premonition of what happened in the grand final.

Furia and The MongolZ’s match in the grand final of Fissure Playground 2 went the distance. The format was best-of-five, and the two teams traded wins. Furia took the first map, Mirage, and The MongolZ answered back with a win in Inferno. This continued until the very last map, Dust 2, where Furia surgically took The MongolZ down, winning the map with a 13-5 record.

This win marks Danil “molodoy” Golubenko’s first big win and adds another MVP award to his medal cabinet. According to HLTV, the MVP race was very close, with four people being considered for the award. Molodoy only made the award his after a stellar performance during the grand final.

The next S-Tier Counter-Strike 2 tournament is ESL Pro League Season 22, happening in Stockholm, Sweden. Both Furia and The MongolZ are in attendance, and the winner of the tournament will receive $100,000.
