In the initial encounter of the Austin Major Stage 3, Team Vitality experienced a defeat against Legacy, which marked a break in their previous winning streak.
In the final stage, four teams managed to win all their matches in the first two rounds without any defeats. As a result, these top-performing teams are now paired up for the next round. Specifically, Spirit will be competing against NAVI, while FURIA takes on Virtus.pro.

Matches preview: Before the BLAST.tv Austin Major and at it
In previous encounters, NAVI and Team Spirit have squared off against one another. One such instance was during the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025 tournament. At that time, NAVI triumphed over Spirit in the group stage; however, it was Spirit who knocked out NAVI later on in the playoffs.
Team Spirit and NAVI
Will Team Spirit, who emerged victorious at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, triumph once more in the inaugural Major tournament of this year?
In the BLAST Austin Major 2025, they participated in Stage 3 and emerged victorious in their first two encounters. These wins came against opponents paiN Gaming and Lynn Vision Gaming.
Navi experienced a slightly underwhelming phase recently. They managed to place within the top eight teams at both Intel Extreme Masters Melbourne 2025 and PGL Astana 2025.
At the Austin Major, I found myself going head-to-head against Natus Vincere and Nemiga, as well as 3DMAX. The early matches were a breeze, but things got tricky during my encounter with Natus Vincere in the latter stages.
FURIA and Virtus.pro
In 2025, FURIA welcomes some fresh talents, while the team’s spirit is fueled by the seasoned expertise of the renowned FalleN.
2 teams compared to the first one.
As a dedicated fan, I’ve been following FURIA’s incredible journey at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. They stormed through Stage 2, triumphing over B8, M80, and Lynn Vision Gaming to secure their spot in Stage 3. However, a tough battle ensued in Round 2 where they faced off against paiN, unfortunately ending with a loss for FURIA. But the spirit is not dampened, as we eagerly anticipate their continued performance in this exciting tournament!
FURIA made swift progress into higher-tier competitions, winning against MongolZ and Aurora.
As a devoted fan, I must admit that Virtus.pro’s recent performances haven’t been as exceptional as we’ve come to expect. At the IEM Melbourne 2025 tournament, they suffered a defeat against FlyQuest, ultimately placing 13th to 16th. Their performance at PGL Astana 2025 was slightly better, but still not up to their usual standard, finishing in the 9th to 11th position.
At the Austin Major, things have been going smoothly for Virtus.pro – at least up to this point. They’ve managed to win all three games in Stage 3, defeating teams like OG, B8, and paiN.
At Stage 3, VP defeated MOUZ and Legacy.
