The second day of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 delivered plenty of surprises — some teams moved closer to advancing, while others edged toward elimination. Here’s a summary of the 1-1 matches and a look at who will get a shot at a 3-1 record and who must now fight to survive.
Decisive Steps Toward Stage 2
BetBoom vs Legacy
The day opened with BetBoom facing Legacy, and the Russian side left no doubt about who was in control. On Anubis, BetBoom dominated from start to finish, cruising to a 13:3 victory. While Legacy isn’t the strongest opponent, BetBoom’s form suggests they could be a serious contender moving forward.
NRG vs Complexity
This match proved to be a major disappointment for Complexity. Touted as favorites early in the stage, they now find themselves one match away from elimination. NRG outplayed them on Inferno, taking the map 13:9 and handing Complexity a worrying 1-2 record.
OG vs TYLOO
Despite a few mistakes, OG maintained full control in their match against TYLOO on Ancient. The European squad played confidently and didn’t allow the Chinese side to pose a threat. A clean 13:4 win brings OG closer to advancing from the Challengers Stage.
Nemiga vs Lynn Vision
The Belarusian team is now one step away from a 3-1 record. They secured a 13:10 win on Dust2, even though Lynn Vision led after the first half. The Chinese squad struggled on the T side, ultimately falling short and handing Nemiga the win.
