Texas is ablaze with passion – today, at 01:23 PM EEST on June 10, 2025, we’re diving into the final day of Stage 2 at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, where the fate of six teams hangs in the balance. Virtus.pro, Legacy, paiN Gaming, 3DMAX, and FURIA have already secured their spots in Stage 3, while BetBoom Team, OG, M80, Falcons, and TYLOO are out of the running. Today, Nemiga Gaming takes on Heroic, B8 faces Lynn Vision, and FaZe Clan battles MIBR in a fight for survival. Let’s break down the odds and where you might want to place your bets for each clash.
Nemiga Gaming vs Heroic
Nemiga Gaming, the Belarusian dark horse, stunned MIBR with a 16:12 victory in Round 2 but faltered against 3DMAX (11:13) in Round 3, showcasing a potent impulse marred by inconsistency, while Heroic, the Danish veterans, edged out BetBoom (13:9) but crumbled against FaZe (3:13) and B8 (10:13), revealing shaky nerves in clutch moments. The odds (3.225 on Nemiga, 1.36 on Heroic) heavily favor the Danes due to their reliability, but Nemiga could pull off an upset. My pick is a 2:1 win for Heroic, though the sniper duel could be the game-changer, so keep an eye on those headshots.
B8 vs Lynn Vision
B8, the Ukrainian upstarts, shocked Falcons with a 13:8 rout in Round 1 but fell to FURIA (1:2) in Round 4, bringing explosive energy led by npl but struggling to close out maps, while Lynn Vision, the Chinese underdogs, knocked out Falcons (13:9) only to collapse against paiN (0:2), relying on Westmelon’s leadership and grit but lacking against top-tier opposition. The odds (1.34 on B8, 3.34 on Lynn) lean toward the Ukrainians thanks to their teamwork, though Lynn could strike gold on Train if they lock down their defense. I’m betting on B8 to take a 2:0, but the npl vs Westmelon showdown will be critical – can the Chinese marksman halt Ukraine’s momentum?
FaZe Clan vs MIBR
FaZe Clan, spearheaded by s1mple, demolished Heroic (13:3) and TyLoo (13:5) but crashed against Legacy (0:2), remaining a powerhouse with occasional missteps, while MIBR, the Brazilian fighters, survived a thriller against Falcons (2:1) but fell to Nemiga (12:16), banking on insani’s talent to stay afloat. The odds (1.5 on FaZe, 2.643 on MIBR) favor FaZe, bolstered by karrigan’s tactical nous and s1mple’s firepower, but MIBR could exploit FaZe’s errors in a solid T-side hold if they control the pace. My call is a 2:1 victory for FaZe, though the big question is how many mistakes the favorites will make – and whether the underdogs can capitalize on them.
