Falcons vs G2 — Porto quarter-final

4 Sep 2026. Super Bock Arena, Porto. Quarter-final. Bo3. First playoff map of the week. Winner plays Spirit in the semi on 5 Sep. Loser goes home.

HLTV lists the series at 10:00 on the event grid (afternoon in Portugal). Single-elim from here. No lower bracket to hide in.

How they got here

Falcons came through Group B and sit #2 on the ranking board this week. They already lost a series to MOUZ in the groups. This is the short path back.

G2 came the long way: NAVI in the lower bracket, Aurora in the lower final, ticket punched the hard way after Spirit beat them earlier in the event. huNter- already said the pieces are there and the missing bit was confidence. Today is the first map that tests that sentence on a stage, not in a studio group.

Not a pick. Not a betting card. karrigan’s Dust2 complaint from the groups is a quote, not a veto leak. Maps go in the update when they exist.
