B8 defeat OG – Austin Major 2025 Stage 1
B8 are quietly building a 2-0 campaign in Austin after holding off OG 13–9 on Inferno. Despite being outshined on the stat sheet by nicoodoz and spooke, the Ukrainians found clutch timing, solid trading, and strong structure to keep the Danes at bay.

The first half was all B8 as they strung together nine solid CT rounds, led by kensizor’s confident anchoring and esenthial’s smart utility usage—including a 1v2 clutch in Round 5 that shifted the early momentum. After halftime, OG looked like they might claw back into it behind nicoodoz's 88.8 ADR and spooke’s entry picks, but B8 stayed composed and closed it out with tighter executes and disciplined retakes.
Headtr1ck and alex666 quietly delivered key mid-round frags, while npl struggled to get going but didn’t cost them in the late rounds. On the OG side, F1KU kept the economy afloat but Chr1zN never got rolling, ending with just 9 kills.
B8 now join Heroic and others in the 2-0 pool, so far.
