Fans are eagerly awaiting the playoffs of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, set to begin on June 19. The tournament’s strongest teams will face off, and the stakes have never been higher. We turned to artificial intelligence — ChatGPT — to get its analytical perspective on who has the best shot at winning and why.
Who has the edge: Spirit vs MOUZ?
AI’s answer:
“Spirit are the clear favorite. They cruised through Stage 3 with a 3-0 record, defeating paiN, Lynn Vision, and NAVI. donk and sh1ro are performing like champions, with ratings of 1.54 and 1.42 respectively. Their map pool — Dust2 and Nuke — looks stronger than MOUZ’s. While MOUZ showed great character with a comeback from 0-2, they lack Spirit’s individual firepower.”
Verdict: Advantage Spirit.
Could FURIA vs paiN end in an upset?
AI’s answer:
“On paper, FURIA are much stronger — the additions of YEKINDAR and molodoy had an immediate impact. But it’s important to remember that paiN already beat FURIA on Dust2 in Stage 2, 13:11. That could influence the mindset going into this rematch. If paiN can dictate the map pool, an upset is possible.”
Verdict: FURIA are favorites, but an upset is possible.
NAVI vs Vitality — the most unpredictable matchup?
AI’s answer:
“Vitality are the more stable team overall, despite the shocking loss to Legacy. ZywOo and ropz are players who show up when it counts. NAVI went 3-1 but barely edged out G2 — their deciding map on Inferno went to overtime (19:16). jL is in excellent form and could be a deciding factor.”
Verdict: Slight edge to Vitality, but NAVI’s form on the day will be crucial.
Can The MongolZ get revenge on FaZe?
AI’s answer:
“These teams have already faced off — FaZe won 2:0 (13:11, 13:4). With s1mple now in the lineup, FaZe look revitalized. He leads the team with a 1.35 rating. The MongolZ are resilient, but it’s hard to see them overcoming the psychological edge FaZe now hold.”
Verdict: FaZe are the favorites.
So, who will win the tournament?
AI’s answer:
“At this point, Spirit and FaZe look like the most complete teams. Spirit have the most consistent form and structure, but FaZe with s1mple are capable of making history. The most likely final? Spirit vs FaZe. Probable champion? Spirit — if donk and sh1ro maintain their current level.”
But what about Vitality?
AI’s response:
“A great question. Vitality absolutely deserve to be in the conversation. They advanced with a 3-1 record and have ZywOo — the highest-rated player at the event (1.58). But their shocking loss to Legacy and occasional reliance on ZywOo put them just slightly behind Spirit and FaZe in terms of consistency. If ropz activates and apEX controls the game well, they can win it all. For now, their path looks slightly bumpier.”
AI’s Overall Major Winning Probability:
- Spirit — 35%
- FaZe — 30%
- Vitality — 20%
- FURIA — 7%
- NAVI — 5%
- paiN, MOUZ, The MongolZ — 3% total
