BLAST Rivals Fall 2026 Favourites & Odds
BLAST Rivals Fall 2026 will feature eight teams, including a few strong contenders to win the event and no definitive favourite on paper.
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Team Vitality | 2.10 |
| Team Spirit | 4.40 |
| MOUZ | 5.00 |
| FURIA Esports | 7.50 |
| Team Falcons | 8.50 |
| Legacy | 13.00 |
| FUT Esports | 15.00 |
| G2 Esports | 17.00 |
Team Falcons are one of the more interesting squads attending BLAST Rivals Fall. They’re the reigning Major champions, but also in shaky form, having been struggling to make much noise in the upper echelons of competitive Counter-Strike over the last few months.
Despite being a roster packed with elite players, Falcons’ performances have left a lot to be desired, particularly in the weeks leading up to BLAST Rivals Fall. They recently played seventh-eighth at Intel Extreme Masters Beijing, and were just as unsuccessful at ESL Pro League Season 24, with a fifth-eighth place finish.
With no notable tournament runs behind them, Falcons don't appear to be a serious threat for the BLAST Rivals Fall title, despite a roster strong enough to aim for gold.
FURIA are in a somewhat similar boat. They’ve been all over the place with their results over the last six months. While FURIA have found more momentum recently, with two gold medals at the Thunderpick World Championship and PGL Masters Bucharest, they didn't look as polished at IEM Beijing, where they placed fifth-sixth.
FURIA have had their moments, but remain a bit questionable when faced with elite rosters. This puts a huge question mark over them and their chances of making a run at BLAST Rivals Fall.
MOUZ are viewed as the third-best team attending BLAST Rivals Fall, a tag they’ve earned with impressive performances over the last couple of months. Notably, they won IEM Beijing just days before the BLAST Rivals Fall kick-off, which alone is a good indication that MOUZ has the tools to succeed at this level.
On the other side, the little to no downtime between the two events suggests MOUZ could be fatigued and unprepared for the Hong Kong event.
Team Spirit enter BLAST Rivals Fall with a point to prove, following an early elimination from PGL Masters Bucharest, where they placed ninth-11th. That run broke Spirit’s long stretch of impressive results, having placed top-four in eight consecutive big events.
That run included gold medals from the Esports World Cup and BLAST Open Fall, and a fourth-place finish at ESL Pro League Season 24.
While an elite team, Spirit have slowed significantly of late, raising the question of whether they will bounce back in Hong Kong and launch an attack on the trophy.
Team Vitality head to Hong Kong as the main title contenders, and for good reason. They’ve been showing excellent form since September, winning both StarLadder StarSeries and ESL Pro League Season 24.
While Vitality had to settle for a fourth-place finish at PGL Masters Bucharest, they did so while playing without their in-game leader, apEX, so finishing fourth was a seriously impressive result.
With apEX back with the team, Vitality are expected to continue where they left off in October, and launch an attack on the trophy.

Verdict
BLAST Rivals Fall 2026 featured a few strong contenders, but out of the elite few, Team Vitality stand out as the most likely victors.
Despite their rough stretch from May to September, Vitality seem to have found their stride last month, winning both StarLadder StarSeries and ESL Pro League S24. And even their fourth-place finish at PGL Masters Bucharest is an impressive accomplishment, considering Vitality achieved that without their in-game leader.
With apEX back on the roster, Vitality should get back on track, continue where they left off at ESL Pro League, and re-establish themselves as the world’s most dominant CS2 team.
