After a dramatic second stage of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 — full of shocking breakouts and crushing collapses — the third and final chapter begins. This is where legends are forged or forgotten. Every team left is elite. Every map, every clutch could swing the balance.
The Swiss system shows no mercy: three wins send you to the arena, three losses send you packing. The tension has never been higher. For the players, it’s a battle for legacy. For fans, it’s one last chance to lock in their Stage 3 Pick’Em — and maybe, just maybe, still dream of that Diamond Coin.

I’ll play safe: Vitality 3-0.
Confident for MOUZ, Spirit, MongolZ & Aurora.
VP, 3DMAX, FURIA have a good momentum. I dont believe in NAVI & Liquid.
0-3 : G2. Of course.

If the craziness of Stage 2 is going to happen again, let it be with BR teams in the playoffs. I picked FURIA and legacyggbr because of their solid map pool at the moment. Do you agree?

In VP, paiN & FaZe we believe.. had to fight the urge of putting G2 in that 0-3 spot, but keeping it remotely reasonable was one of the goals.

4/5 Stage 1 and Stage 2. New strategy: if it makes no sense, it’s probably the way to go.

Time for Stage 3 predictions, it can only get better… right? Dont forget to lock your picks until tomorrow

Jokes aside, I think I’m going a bit wilder this time since playing it safe hasn’t been working!

Turkey will cook
No NA teams at the NA Major playoffs 🇺🇸

My Pick’Ems might be in shambles, but I’m still hoping to bag the Dragonlore…

My boy Xantares is going to get me back on track after Falcons tanked out
A Major playoffs without Faze feels wrong but my gut says VP are in good form

No diamond coin so I went for the Counter-Strike CINEMA pick ’ems. This 10/10 will usher in the GOAT major.

And now, the pressure only intensifies. With playoff spots on the line, every round becomes a potential legacy-defining moment. No more underestimating opponents, no more room for shaky starts — it’s do or die. The final stage of the Swiss at the BLAST.tv Austin Major will separate contenders from pretenders, and the battle for the playoff arena promises to be the fiercest we’ve seen all Major long.
