NRG and BESTIA finalize BLAST.tv Austin Major team list

18-4-2025 04:12

The 32 teams bound for the Austin Major have been decided.

BESTIA are the first team with an Argentine core to qualify for a Major

NRG and BESTIA have laid claim to spots at the BLAST.tv Austin Major, besting their final opponents of BLUEJAYS and Legacy, respectively, for the honor. With these final two qualifications, the team list for the Austin Major is now set.

Fluxo and Wildcard earn Austin Major spots

BESTIA stumbled early on in their Major qualifying campaign, falling to Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan's Fluxo squad 0-2 to immediately get shipped off to the lower bracket of the South America MRQ.

Nicolás "⁠Noktse⁠" Dávila's men fought valiantly despite being on the brink of elimination, racking up wins over RED Canids, Sharks, and eventually Legacy to lock down their place at the Austin Major.

The Austin Major will serve as the first Major appearance for BESTIA as an organization, after the Argentine side faltered in the RMRs of the last three Majors. Likewise, Austin will also be the first Major outing for all five players on the team's lineup.

NRG faltered to Wildcard in their first qualification match, forcing Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella's men to take part in a cutthroat single-elimination bracket to vie for the final remaining spot in the North America MRQ.

After suffering a map loss at the hands of Getting Info, NRG rallied in the latter two maps of the series to keep their Major dreams alive thanks to solid output from Danish import Alexander "⁠br0⁠" Bro.

In their last opportunity to qualify, NRG cruised to a quick win on BLUEJAYS' map pick of Train, before scrounging together a win on their pick of Dust2 in overtime to earn NRG their Major berth.

The Austin Major will serve as NRG's third overall Major outing, their first since StarLadder Major Berlin 2019. The American event will also provide br0 and Jeorge "⁠Jeorge⁠" Endicott with their career-first Major appearances.

really highlights how terrible astralis is that a player as good as device is missing another major.

2025-04-18 14:50

Aight but who qualified?

2025-04-18 17:31

Looking at Astralis current form I don't think NRG would even be that heavy of an underdog if Astralis went head to head with them. Maybe 60-40? B8, Metizport, and OG arent exactly tier 1 losses

2025-04-18 18:51

He is so bad that 3 guys with pistols would've killed him

2025-04-19 11:14

Both bro and buzz at the major and no asstralul. You love to see it.

Travel back in time 3 years and tell everyone that OG is the only danish team that qualifies for the 2025 major and NOBODY would believe you Deserved for astralis though, karma

2025-04-18 11:05

There is a 40% chance for that to happen.

Australis still may have a solid chance, russki teams always have troubles with visas, and here we have a lot of first timers. And Astralis are first in the queue

2025-04-18 08:41

more like 0%, the slot would go to the BLUEJAYS in that case

You might have missed the reference: hltv.org/news/31748/anonymo-ruin-devices.. edit: quote from that article device took to Twitter to share that his team will have to "play on 30-40% [packet] loss"

2025-04-18 11:40

2025-04-18 12:21

two Astralis L's in one day LOVE TO SEE IT

2025-04-18 04:19

BJs dodging another LAN, unlucky!

Honestly they’ve tried really hard on dust2 but wasn’t enough.

2025-04-18 04:23

Good lineup!

There is no NA major without Captain America himself!

2025-04-18 04:24

Liquid in stage 3 is a travesty

G2 in stage 3 is a travesty

They really lost to Legacy in a bo3 recently and they're in the third stage while Legacy couldn't even beat Bestia

2025-04-18 19:13

They lost to Legacy maybe because Twistzz stepped down as an IGL to bring Siuhy in and removing JKS? Not to mention they didn't even have a coach there. They had what like 2 days? Man it's annoying when people like you act like that gap between pro's is massive, when in reality it's not. They are all pro's. Underdog teams can upset a favored team. It's not like that's a new concept bud.

2025-04-18 05:01

2025-04-18 05:03

nitr0, stanislaw, and JT as our IGLs at the major feels good

2025-04-18 05:29

2025-04-18 08:21

2025-04-18 06:28

Thank you! It´s what we need for our scene for sure! They wont be a contender for the major but might surprise one or two matches hopefully!

2025-04-19 14:09

Astralis will say br0 is unfit. Therefore NRG forfeit their spot and Astralis gets into major 🔥🔥🔥

Bluejays dropping the roster in 3, 2, 1...

2025-04-18 05:23

Astralis will make it because one of BB, Nemiga, or B8 won't be able to get Visas

im glad its tomaszin and not any other fraud SA teams. tomaszin legit good player

is nitr0 the first player to come back from valorant and make the major?

Jamyoung.

2025-04-18 08:49

Love this teamlist, so many nationalities from all over the world !

2025-04-18 08:52

2025-04-18 10:53

Complexity in Stage 1. Hopefully they rise up!

2025-04-18 12:16

Congrats to Bestia, he kept believing in Argentina core. Happy for Papo MC, much deserved

2025-04-18 13:04

Is this the most diverse stage in terms of different country flags in majors history? Brazil Russia US China Mongolia Australia Denmark Sweden Ukraine Argentina Also only 9 international rosters out of 32 teams, I guess national CS isn't so dead after all

2025-04-18 15:16

National teams arent dead, they are the majority of teams in pro CS, problem is, u can't win tier 1 without an international team.

2025-04-18 17:57

Could you remind me who won the last major?

2025-04-18 18:03

I forgot who won the last major, please enlighten me if you remember 🤔

2025-04-19 08:20

strong showing from BRICS

2025-04-18 17:26

I believe this major will have 46 new players. Damn

2025-04-18 22:32

Bestia deserved

2025-04-19 00:21

Look at some of these names and then Astralis arent there. BIG also not there. So many national teams cant go through EU qualifiers while some meme teams from other regions get in cause they play with heart and passion and a real goal in mind.
