On June 9th, the main tournament of the season continues — BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and we can expect a packed day of tier-1. We have analyzed map pools, current form, and win rates to highlight the 5 best bets for the second day of the tournament.
Heroic to beat TyLoo — odds 1.30
Heroic are among the tournament favorites, having repeatedly proven their class on the big stage, while TyLoo continue to struggle with internal problems: depth of the roster, inconsistent results, and poor communication at critical moments. Given this, betting on Heroic and company is a fairly safe choice, as Heroic not only has a structural advantage but also demonstrates a stable pace of play on the current maps. At the same time, the odds of 1.30 are solid enough for a reliable bet.
paiN Gaming vs Lynn Vision — total maps over 2.5 (1.85)
A fierce battle is expected in the match between these two teams — their playing styles complement each other: paiN is aggressive, Lynn Vision is moderately stable, especially on the peak pool. The latest series show statistics of about 70% of three-map matches between the teams on equal terms. The decision to bet on total maps >2.5 was expected. The odds of 1.85 make this option attractive: it makes sense to believe that both teams will “take it to the third map.”
Falcons will beat MIBR 2:0 — odds 1.52
The Falcons are approaching the tournament with an optimal lineup and a clear strategy worthy of their achievements, in contrast to MIBR , a team that has shown significant failures: poor adaptation to maps, low AWP efficiency, and broken communication. The Falcons have had stable performances in high-level tournaments, while MIBR still can't find their rhythm with the new mix. A confident is expected from the Falcons , round after round, suggesting a prediction of a clean 2:0 victory with odds of 1.52 as a favorable combination of profitability and minimal risk.
B8 victory over FURIA Esports — odds 2.05
B8 have already demonstrated that they are capable of holding their own against the big names: consistent team play, quick adaptation in critical rounds, and tenacity in duels. FURIA Esports are a powerful opponent, but recent matches have shown their tendency to falter in the middle of the map. The highest individual skill of B8 players, combined with well-thought-out strategies, allows us to predict an upset. Odds of 2.05 are an attractive bet for those who are willing to take a risk for a potentially big return.
FaZe to beat 3DMAX — odds of 1.38
FaZe is the classic favorite in this match. The team's key players are in the game: cold-blooded AWP specialists, light reinforcements, and a strong mental state. 3DMAX , for their part, are only capable of pulling off a surprise, but do not have a sufficient pool of strategies to impose an equal fight. It is noted that FaZe is in “beast mode” — each player is ready to hold the map on their own. With odds of 1.38, this is the best option for those who want to place a reliable bet with good odds.
Remember the responsibility: bets should be justified, not emotional. And remember: the winner is not the one who knows all the odds, but the one who knows how to interpret them correctly.
