The elimination round is always a true test of resilience — and that’s exactly what we saw in these do-or-die matches at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. For four teams, it was their last chance to stay in the tournament, but only two managed to survive. Imperial and Chinggis Warriors showed character and will move forward, while Metizport and Fluxo end their Major run with a 0-3 record.
Imperial vs Metizport
The opening map, Nuke, was tense, with neither team willing to give up ground. Both halves ended with mirrored scores, and the match went into overtime. There, Imperial proved to be more composed and secured the win — 16:13.
On Dust2, the Brazilians took control early with a dominant 10:2 first half. Metizport looked lost, and Imperial closed out the game with three quick rounds. Metizport exit the Major with a 0-3 record, while Imperial move on with 1-2.
After the loss, Metizport took to X with a hint of humor:
“At least we getting sticker money…”
Chinggis Warriors vs Fluxo
Ancient started in favor of Chinggis Warriors, who led 7:5 at halftime. However, Fluxo found their rhythm on the T side and closed out the map 13:10.
On Mirage — Fluxo’s pick — Chinggis Warriors fought hard. The game came down to a final round at 12:11, where Fluxo were just one second short of defusing the bomb. That moment handed the Mongolians the win and tied the series at 1-1.
The decider on Nuke was one-sided. Chinggis Warriors dominated the first half 10:2, and Fluxo couldn’t mount a comeback. Coming back from such a deficit is always difficult, and the Brazilian squad couldn’t pull it off. They end their tournament 0-3, while Chinggis Warriors advance.
After the match, Fluxo shared a message with their fans on X:
“1-2 against Chinggis Warriors and we finish our run at the #BLASTtvMAJOR.
Thank you to everyone who believed and supported us until the end. We are always together.”
First to fall: two teams finish the Major 0-3
Metizport and Fluxo are the first teams to be eliminated from the BLAST.tv Austin Major without a single win. Their journey ends here, while Imperial and Chinggis Warriors keep their hopes alive.
