BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Round 4 Schedule

I have become a supporter of the match featuring B8 because they performed well in the first stage, they reached 3-0, and proved they can be considered contenders for the playoffs by showing strong performances against Falcons and HEROIC in the second stage. My support was further boosted by the GG.BET odds for the young Ukrainian team’s victory, which stand at 2.08, especially since FURIA was actually one of the strongest 2–1 teams coming into this round, so getting 2.08 odds against such a solid contender, especially considering B8’s background and momentum at this tournament, definitely hype!

BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 R1-R3 Highlights

Falcons were nearly out of the tournament, but managed to bounce back in Round 3, narrowly escaping elimination. OG took a map off them, just as expected, but couldn’t finish the job. MIBR, meanwhile, stunned everyone with a 2–0 victory over BetBoom, despite both maps ending 13–11. That win showed just how evenly matched the middle tier of this Major really is.

Elsewhere, 3DMAX showed signs of life against Nemiga. While that win was convincing, it doesn’t erase doubts about how they’ll perform against top-tier opponents, like FaZe.

Legacy’s dominance over FaZe was arguably the biggest shock so far. They crushed them on the first map, and shut them down on the second to win 2–0. With Maka pulling off a sick AWP ace and Legacy playing with confidence, that match sent a message: Tier 2 teams are here to fight.

BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 2 R3 Results

We’re already seeing a few favorites struggle and a few surprise names rise to the top. Legacy and Virtus.pro are undefeated, while OG and BetBoom have yet to grab a win. B8, 3DMAX, and Lynn Vision continue to shake things up, each sitting at 2–1.

Even Tier 1 teams are vulnerable, and nearly every matchup is up for grabs. As we predicted in the previous text, OG won one map, but we didn't see much more.

What to expect from BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Round 3

Let’s start with FURIA vs B8. The Ukrainian squad has impressed in their last two outings. Beating Falcons might be explained by the experimental lineup on the other side, but taking down HEROIC? That proves B8 belongs in the Tier 2 elite. Still, FURIA are experienced, well-rounded, and have already made NaVi sweat earlier in the tournament. It’s hard to see B8 pulling off the full upset—but taking one map? That’s a real possibility. Prediction: B8 will win at least one map.

Now onto FaZe vs 3DMAX. FaZe will be looking to recover after that shocking loss to Legacy. 3DMAX comes into this one with momentum after dispatching Nemiga, and they’ve already got an ace up their sleeve—literally, thanks to Maka. FaZe are still the stronger team, but there’s no reason 3DMAX can’t push them to a third map. Prediction: FaZe will win at least one map.

This round might be the return of balance. Tier 1 teams like FaZe and Falcons need wins here to avoid total disaster, and this looks like the stage where they finally assert control. But if this Major has taught us anything, it’s that no one is safe.
