Legion outlast ScarX to make finals of PGL Bucharest 2026 West Asia Closed Qualifier
Legion have moved into the final of the PGL Bucharest 2026 West Asia Closed Qualifier after their win over Iranian team ScarX in the upper bracket final. Legion's win puts them a step away from making the Asia Closed Qualifier while ScarX will take on Bhavi and Ph1NNN's Indo-Pakistan mixed team, Biryani in the Consolidation final.
The Iranian team's pick of Mirage got the upper bracket final underway and it was a clean CT half from Legion, seeing them go 9-3 up. Despite losing the second pistol, Legion picked up a force buy and converted off that to go 11-4 up before ScarX put together a couple of defensive rounds of their own. Legion, though, managed to hold on for a 13-10 win to draw first blood with PokemoN on top of the scoreboard with 22 kills and a 1.40 rating.
Legion started their pick of Dust2 with a solid T half, as Bloody and HZI powered the Pakistani team to an 8-4 lead. ScarX put up flawless T side of their own to run away with a 13-8 win as X1RON's AWP turned out to be the difference and pushed the series to a decider. Overpass was a much tighter affair as it was a trade of rounds to get the decider going, that saw a tied opening half. ScarX evened out the pistols on their CT half but a strong T side with Bloody and PokemoN once again standing tall when their team needed them the most, saw Legion take the win at 13-10 to lock the series 2-1.
Legion now move directly to the grand final while ScarX drop to the consolidation final and will face the mixed Indo-Pakistan team, Biryani.
