The dust has settled on the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, and the Pick’Em Challenge provided as much drama as the matches themselves, so which streamers correctly predicted BLAST.tv Major 2025 results? We followed picks from top CS2 creators—fl0m, Launders, MacMate, Mauisnake, Hawka, BanKs, HLTVorg, Ash’s Playbook, Elfishguy, and CS Tactics. Now, armed with real outcomes, here’s how their bold bracket choices matched up … or didn’t.

✅ Team Vitality Wins the Major

First things first: Team Vitality won the Austin Major, defeating The MongolZ 2–1 in the grand final. MVP honors went to Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut during that run, as we already predicted here on Key-Drop.

📋 What the Streamers Predicted

• fl0m doubted Vitality, speculated FaZe would be runners-up
• Launders, MacMate, Mauisnake, BanKs, Elfishguy all called for a Vitality victory
• Hawka predicted Team Spirit or The MongolZ would derail Vitality
• HLTVorg and CS Tactics leaned with FaZe as champions
• Ash’s Playbook and Elfishguy predicted unconventional finalists: Vitality vs MongolZ

🥇 Who got it right, though?

Creator	Pick	Actual Result
fl0m	FaZe win	❌ Incorrect
Launders	Vitality win	✅ Correct
MacMate	Vitality win	✅ Correct
Mauisnake	Vitality win	✅ Correct
BanKs	Vitality win	✅ Correct
Hawka	Spirit win	❌ Incorrect
HLTVorg	FaZe win	❌ Incorrect
Ash’s Playbook	Vitality win	✅ Correct

Verdict: 6 out of 8 predicted Vitality and got it right.

🎯 Why this Matters for Your Pick’Em

• Safe picks like Vitality paid off – streamers who played it smart were rewarded.
• Upset calls (like Hawka’s Spirit) didn’t hit—imagine the upset meme potential, though.
• Even top analysts like HLTV got blindsided—Pick’Em surprises are a real thing.

💡 Final Thoughts

If you followed analysis-heavy streamers (Launders, MacMate, Mauisnake), your Pick’Em had a solid chance at getting the Champion pick right. But if you chased the chaos with unconventional picks, it was fun, but unlikely to pay out.

Here’s the lesson: mix data-driven picks with a touch of risk… and always cover yourself with a reliable loadout to rep post-Major earnings.
