latto shuts down FUT with final-round ace as Legacy move one win from BLAST Open Porto playoffs

Bruno “latto” Rebelatto delivered the two rounds that mattered most as Legacy opened BLAST Open Porto 2026 with a 2-0 victory over FUT, closing Ancient with a late clutch before wiping out an entire B-site attack to finish Dust2.

Legacy took the series 13-10 on Ancient and 13-11 on Dust2, surviving a dangerous comeback on the second map to move into the Group B upper bracket semi-final. One more victory will secure the team a place in the Porto playoffs.

The result was another strong showing from a Legacy side that arrived in Copenhagen only days after finishing third at the Esports World Cup. FUT, meanwhile, entered BLAST Open Porto fresh from reaching the EWC grand final.

latto delivers when Legacy need him most

Santino “try” Rigal produced the biggest numbers of the series, but latto supplied its defining moments.

Ancient was far less straightforward than the final 13-10 score suggests. FUT repeatedly kept themselves within reach, while try carried much of Legacy's firepower with 26 kills and a 1.60 rating on the map. latto finished Ancient with 16 kills, but his most important contribution came at the end, when he converted a 1v2 to shut down FUT's last opportunity to extend the game.

That set up a Dust2 that initially looked far more comfortable.

Legacy raced into an 8-1 lead and appeared ready to turn the second map into a routine finish. Instead, FUT gradually pulled themselves back into the contest. The Esports World Cup runners-up erased almost the entire deficit and eventually tied the score at 11-11.

At that point, the series had shifted. What had looked like a comfortable 2-0 was suddenly two rounds away from overtime — and potentially a third map.

latto stopped the comeback himself.

With Legacy on match point, FUT committed toward the B site. latto held his ground and eliminated all five opponents, completing an ace in the final round of regulation and ending Dust2 13-11.

It was an unusually clean ending to an increasingly messy map.

More than just the ace

The final round will naturally dominate the highlights, but latto's overall series was much more than a single explosive sequence.

He finished the two maps with 37 kills and 23 deaths, a 1.22 HLTV Rating 3.0, 76.6 ADR and a 78.7% KAST. On Dust2 alone, he led Legacy with 21 kills and a 1.33 rating.

try remained Legacy's statistical leader across the full best-of-three, posting 42 kills, 22 deaths and a 1.31 series rating. His 26-kill Ancient was the foundation of Legacy's first-map victory, while latto increasingly took over as the series reached its decisive moments.

That division of impact is important for Legacy. The team did not need one player to dominate both maps. try created the advantage on Ancient, while latto supplied the late-round control on the opener and then became Legacy's strongest individual performer on Dust2.

Legacy continue their strong run after EWC

The victory also extends a productive period for Legacy.

Before BLAST Open Porto, the majority-Brazilian lineup finished third at the Esports World Cup, where they beat Natus Vincere 2-0 and Falcons 2-0 before losing to Spirit in the semi-final. They recovered by defeating FURIA 2-1 in the third-place match.

The FUT win therefore gives Legacy victories over NAVI, Falcons, FURIA and FUT across their last five series, with Spirit responsible for their only defeat in that stretch.

That run makes their BLAST opener more significant than an isolated upset. Legacy entered the event ranked No. 7 on HLTV, only one position behind No. 6 FUT, and both teams came directly from deep Esports World Cup runs.

FUT had arguably arrived with even more momentum after reaching the EWC grand final, beating MOUZ and FURIA before falling 1-3 to Spirit.

Legacy were still the side that handled the crucial rounds better in Copenhagen.

A reversal of their IEM Kraków meeting

There was also some recent history behind the matchup.

FUT defeated Legacy 2-0 at IEM Kraków 2026 in January, winning Dust2 13-7 and Ancient 13-10 in a lower-bracket series. dem0n was outstanding that day, finishing the match with 45 kills and a 1.63 rating.

The Porto result reversed both the series and the two-map combination: Legacy won Ancient and Dust2 this time around.

The January matchup has limited tactical value, however, because the teams were not using the same five-man lineups. Legacy still had lux and saadzin in Kraków rather than their current pairing of arT and try, while FUT fielded lauNX instead of xfl0ud.

The rematch is therefore more useful as a marker of Legacy's progress than as evidence of a straightforward head-to-head trend.

What the result means for BLAST Open Porto

BLAST Open Porto's group stage sends six of the 16 participating teams to the arena playoffs in Portugal. Group winners advance directly to the semi-finals, while the other qualifying teams enter the quarter-finals.

Legacy's opening victory puts them one series away from becoming one of those six teams.

Their next opponent will be the winner of Falcons vs Lynn Vision in the Group B upper bracket. A victory there would guarantee Legacy a playoff berth, while a defeat would leave them with another route through the group.

FUT move in the opposite direction. They will face the loser of Falcons-Lynn Vision and can no longer afford another defeat if they want to continue their run in the tournament.

What Comes Next?

Legacy now have the opportunity to convert their recent run of form into a spot on the BLAST Open Porto stage.

The main question will be whether they can reproduce the composure they showed in the decisive rounds against FUT. Dust2 also provided a warning: an 8-1 advantage disappearing into an 11-11 scoreline is the kind of opening a stronger opponent can punish.

Still, Legacy did not lose control when the map reached its most uncomfortable point. latto's ace made sure of that.

For a team coming directly from a third-place EWC finish, the next step is clear: win one more series in Copenhagen and the run continues in Porto.
