The BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 is heating up, and paiN Gaming has just made a crucial decision. The Brazilian esports team has renewed the contract of its Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) captain, Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt.
Currently in the quarterfinals, paiN Gaming is set to face off against FURIA in an all-Brazilian matchup on Thursday at 8:30 PM Brasília time. This clash guarantees at least one Brazilian team a spot in the semifinals, a feat not seen since the IEM Rio in 2022.
