FURIA sweep LOUD 3-0 to book a Worlds spot, and Xyno admits: 'I failed'

There was no drama in the series that decided Brazil's last ticket to the League of Legends World Championship. FURIA swept LOUD 3-0 on Saturday (Oct. 3) in the lower-bracket final of the CBLOL's second split, locking in both a grand final spot and a place at Worlds 2026. LOUD finish the season in third and miss the international event.

FURIA's top lane set the tone from the start: Guigo ended game one 8/2/2 and built a lead of more than 3,000 gold over Xyno. In game two LOUD got ahead early, but a costly Baron mistake opened the door to a comeback led by Ayu, who finished 13/2/5 on Yunara. Game three was settled early, with FURIA dominating the bottom lane.

On LOUD's side, the mood was self-critical. Despite receiving an MVP award, Xyno said he fell short as a leader: 'I failed,' he said, adding that the award 'means nothing if my team is losing.' FURIA now meet LOS again, a rematch of the first-split final, on October 10 at 1 p.m. local time in Rio. The champion goes straight to the Worlds Swiss Stage; the runner-up plays in the Play-In.
