Legacy shock Astralis and move closer to the PGL Masters Bucharest 2025 playoffs

Legacy stunned fans by knocking Astralis out of their comfort zone at PGL Masters Bucharest 2025. After a hard-fought battle on Inferno and a dominant win on Nuke, the Brazilian squad pulled off a sensational 2–0 victory, leaving the Danes on the brink of elimination.

Inferno (14:16 Legacy)

On Inferno, Legacy showed incredible determination to win. Despite an almost even first half, they managed to secure 7 rounds. In the second half, Astralis improved slightly and reached map point. However, Legacy refused to give up easily, forcing the game into overtime. In the extra rounds, the Brazilian side seized their opportunity and closed out the map 16–14.

Nuke (3:13 Legacy)

On their own map pick, Astralis looked completely unprepared for Nuke. Legacy displayed a strong defensive side, while Astralis managed to win only three rounds on the attack. The second half didn’t last long — Legacy easily finished the map on the T side with a 13–3 score.
