The CBLOL 2026 Split 1 Playoffs delivered two high-quality Upper Bracket series on May 25–26. FURIA and RED Canids Kalunga both secured their places in the UB Final, defeating LOUD and Fluxo W7M respectively in convincing fashion.
FURIA Sweeps LOUD 3-0 in a Statement Performance
The most anticipated series of the bracket turned into a one-sided affair as FURIA steamrolled LOUD in a clean 3-0 sweep. From the opening game, FURIA displayed exceptional macro play, denying LOUD any opportunity to scale into late-game compositions. Their vision control and objective prioritization left the reigning Copa CBLOL champions unable to find a foothold in any of the three games.
LOUD now drop to the Lower Bracket, where they will need to go on an extended winning streak to reach the Grand Final. Every remaining series in the lower bracket will be a must-win, with elimination on the line at each step.
RED Canids Defeat Fluxo W7M 3-1 to Confirm Favorite Status
In the other Upper Bracket semifinal, RED Canids Kalunga reinforced their status as the tournament favorites with a 3-1 victory over Fluxo W7M. Fluxo fought back to claim one game and made things interesting mid-series, but RED's experience proved decisive. RED's mid-laner delivered a standout performance across multiple champion picks, making high-impact plays in key moments.
Fluxo W7M remain alive in the tournament via the double-elimination format and head to the Lower Bracket. They will need to maintain their momentum and win several consecutive series to make a run at the championship.
FURIA vs RED Canids: UB Final Set for Next Weekend
The two best teams in Split 1 will clash in the Upper Bracket Final next weekend. The winner earns a direct spot in the Grand Final and the luxury of a bracket reset advantage. FURIA arrives in electric form after their sweep of LOUD, while RED Canids have been the most consistent side throughout the regular season.
These playoffs prove once again that CBLOL is one of the strongest secondary leagues in the world — Brazilian League of Legends continues to punch above its weight on the international stage.
