Look Sports Media – After a year of relentless competition and strategic brilliance, FURIA has secured the coveted top spot in the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for December 2025. This victory solidifies their position as a force to be reckoned with heading into the 2026 season.
The Brazilian powerhouse edged out formidable opponents like Team Falcons and Team Vitality to cap off a stellar 2025. This achievement carries significant weight, as December’s VRS standings will determine 28 of the 32 teams invited to the prestigious Blast Bounty Season 3, the first Tier 1 CS2 tournament of 2026.
FURIA’s ascent to the summit began in November and was fueled by a string of impressive victories throughout October and November. They claimed the championship titles at the Thunderpick World Championship, IEM Chengdu 2025, and Blast Rivals Fall 2025. Their triumph at IEM Chengdu was particularly noteworthy, marking the first time in eight years that a majority Brazilian team had conquered an IEM event.
