How the bookies view it: FURIA favorite
Before making a CS2 betting prediction for the FURIA vs Legacy match at ESL Pro League Season 22, let's talk about the favorite of the match. Most bookmakers consider FURIA the favorite, as the team has been showing decent results this season and often ranks among the top contenders in top-tier tournaments.
FURIA form. What result can be expected from FURIA
Our betting tips and CS2 picks for the FURIA vs Fluxo matchup begin with analyzing FURIA form. FURIA is a well-known esports team with numerous victories under its belt. The team is known for sudden bursts of excellent play when no one can predict it. Despite inconsistent results this year, FURIA still ranks among the world’s top 20 teams. Their synergy and experience make them a serious opponent, and these strengths are expected to help them secure victories and qualify for BLAST Bounty Fall 2025.
FURIA roster: FalleN, yuurih, KSCERATO, YEKINDAR, molodoy
FURIA has a rich history, consistently participating in top-level CS:GO tournaments and now in CS2. At the same time, the team has been relatively unstable — they could show great performances in one part of the season, fully justifying all CS2 predictions, and then fail to reach even the top 16.
Traditionally, we begin our analysis with the 2023 season. The team started with a mediocre performance at ESL Pro League Season 17, placing 9–12th, followed by a 5–6th place at IEM Rio 2023 and 15–16th at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. However, in the second half of the season, the team gained momentum, won Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, and ended the year with renewed confidence and good preparation for the next season.
In 2024, FURIA also participated in a large number of qualifiers and tournaments, aiming to establish themselves at the highest CS2 level. However, the team struggled to show a consistently high level of play. Among their best achievements in 2024 were 3rd–4th place at YaLLa Compass 2024, 5th–8th place at the Esports World Cup 2024, and another 3rd–4th place at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024.
In 2025, the team finally reached a better level of play. At the start of the season, FURIA performed moderately at IEM Katowice 2025 and ESL Pro League Season 21, placing top 16 and top 14 respectively.
However, the team then showed great progress, finishing 4th at PGL Astana 2025, 5th–8th at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and 5th–6th at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025.
FURIA also performed well at BLAST Open Fall 2025, successfully passing the closed qualifiers and reaching the top 4 in the main event.
At FISSURE Playground #2 FURIA confirmed their good form. The team played 3-1 in the Swiss Stage, in the playoffs doubled victories over Astralis and Falcons 2-0, in the grand final defeated The MongolZ 3-2 and became the tournament champions.
Legacy form. What result can be expected from Legacy
We continue our CS2 tips with analyzing Legacy form. Legacy is a relatively new team, created in 2023, and starting from B and C-tier tournaments they managed to rise to a higher level of play.
In the 2023 season they managed to place TOP-16 at CCT East Europe Series #1 and CCT North Europe Series #7. Later, they reached the top 40 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2.
After that, there were a few successful events, more precisely two. Legacy placed Top-6 at CCT Online Finals #3 and Top-8 at BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown 2023. A truly successful performance came at CBCS 2023 Season 3, where the team defeated paiN Gaming in the grand final.
Legacy roster: latto, dumau, saadzin, n1ssim, lux.
Later they competed at LEON x TEAMPLAY Season 2, as well as at CCT East Europe Series #4 and CCT Online Finals #4. Both tournaments ended for them in the top 9.
The team’s main achievement, if it can be called that, was their performance at PGL Copenhagen Major 2024, where Legacy reached the Top-20. After that, the team constantly tried to show strong results at various Tier-2 tournaments: CBCS Season 5 and CCT Season 2 North American Series #3, where they stopped at Top-4.
In the 2025 season Legacy made decent progress. The team participated in several S-Tier tournaments. These were PGL Bucharest 2025 and IEM Masters Dallas 2025, where the team placed Top-12 and Top-16 respectively.
BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 turned out to be quite successful for Legacy. They started from the First Stage, where they won with a score of 3-2. In the Second Stage, a team that was not even supposed to be at this tournament and got there by accident, closed the stage with a 3-0 result (!), defeating 3DMax and FaZe.
However, in Stage 3 Legacy failed to repeat their previous success, being eliminated with a score of 2-3 and placing 9–11th at the tournament.
After that, the team participated in several qualifiers and A and S-tier tournaments without significant success.
For Legacy, ESL Pro League Season 22 is a chance to establish themselves at a high level.
