The BLASTtv Austin Major 2025 is heating up. Two Brazilian teams clashed in a battle for survival in the Counter-Strike 2 tournament. Let’s break down the intense match between Imperial and Legacy.
Before the first phase, Imperial‘s captain, Vinicius “VINI” Figueiredo, shared his thoughts with Dust2. He said players feel pressured to advance to the next phase. Meanwhile, Legacy got a chance to compete after BESTIA had visa issues.
In the first phase, three Brazilian teams fought for a spot in the top eight. Fluxo was the first to be eliminated with a 0-3 record. Another team was on the brink of elimination after a tough decision on Thursday.
The matchup between Imperial and Legacy was a best-of-three game series. The maps played were Inferno, Dust2, and Mirage. Legacy dominated the first game, winning 13-2. Imperial bounced back in the second game, taking it 13-5.
In the deciding game, Legacy pulled ahead and won 13-4, eliminating Imperial from the competition. This leaves Legacy as the last Brazilian team standing, with a chance to advance to the next phase.
Here’s what Legacy had to say about their win:
