Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to prepare for the start of BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, where battles for the status of the best Counter-Strike 2 team in the world begin. First, let's look at Stage 1, where 16 teams will fight for a place among the more titled teams.
Among the contenders for the next step are Lynn Vision – Legacy. They will start the tournament with a personal meeting in bo1.
We will figure out which of the Legacy - Lynn Vision pair will be stronger and earn the first victory within Stage 1.
Let's go.
Lynn Vision Form
We open the analysis of the Lynn Vision – Legacy match on BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 with an analysis of Lynn Vision's game form. In this match, they play as favorites with a win coefficient of around 1.5.
During the 2023 season, the Chinese visited many tournaments, the lion's share of which were local TIR-C events. But among them were also very prestigious championships, such as the Perfect World Arena Premier League, where Lynn Vision lost to Rare Atom in the final.
Among the achievements, it is worth noting the TOP-2 at 5E Arena Asia Cup Spring 2023, repeating the result of Perfect World Arena Premier League and losing in the grand final to Rare Atom, as well as the ESL Challenger series championships in the Asia-Pacific region.
Lynn Vision won ESL Challenger League Season 44 and took TOP-2 at ESL Challenger League Season 45. At the latter, Lynn lost to Rare Atom again.
In the second half of the year, Lynn gained serious momentum and started winning. The team won the XSE Pro League and qualified for Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023.
- Lynn line-up: westmelon, z4kr, EmiliaQAQ, Starry, C4LLM3SU3.
Before the start of ESL Pro League Season 18, Lynn Esports played at the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 5: Professional Division. They managed to add another title to their collection, beating 5yclone in the grand final.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 18, Lynn Esports played against G2 Esports. It was quite a test, it should be noted, and being the total underdog in that match, Lynn Vision put up a fight on the first map – 16-19 Anubis. On the second, of course, it was less rosy – 5-16 Inferno.
In the lower bracket match, Lynn Vision played Team Liquid. There was no fight – 2-0 in favor of the Americans. This was the end of Lynn Vision’s journey in the ESL Pro League Season 18.
Before performing at IEM Sydney 2023, Lynn Vision attended ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: Asian Open Qualifier, where they lost in the first round to Rare Atom. The main tournament of the season was IEM Sydney 2025, where Lynn Vision took the expected TOP-16.
In the 2024 season, they tried to get to the title tournaments, and in some places it worked out. Among them were Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024, where they took the TOP-12 and ESL Pro League Season 20, where they finished in the TOP-24.
Before performing at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, they attended ESL Pro League Season 21 with a typical result outside the TOP-20, as well as IEM Dallam 2025, where they finished in the TOP-16.
Mappy Lynn Vision
Lynn Vision's best maps include Anubis and Overpass. The former has 6 maps and a 100% win rate, while the latter has 5 maps and a 100% win rate.
Next up is Inferno with 13 matches and 10 wins. Playing Nuke (7-4) and Ancient (3-3).
The worst situation is on Vertigo. There are 2 losses.
Legacy Form
We continue our analysis of the Legacy – Linn Vision match at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 with an analysis of Legacy’s game form. They will play this match as underdogs with a win odds of around 2.3.
Legacy are ranked 78th in the world by HLTV. They, like most teams here, are not exactly a shining example of performance, but they shouldn't be, as they only entered the competitive scene in August 2023.
They managed to take the TOP-16 at CCT East Europe Series #1 and CCT North Europe Series #7. Later they took the TOP-40 at Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2.
Then there was a series of pretty good events, or rather, two such tournaments. Legacy took TOP-6 at CCT Online Finals #3, TOP-8 at BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown 2023.
There is also a TOP-12 at Copa BetBoom 2023, which is not really something to brag about. There was also a TOP-6 at Gamer Arena Cup 2023 Season 1.
- Legacy composition: latto, dumau, saadzin, n1ssim, lux.
Before performing at CCT Online Finals #5, Legacy won their first tournament. It was quite modest: they won CBCS 2023 Season 3. Later, there were performances at LEON x TEAMPLAY Season 2, CCT East Europe Series #4 and CCT Online Finals #4. Both tournaments are TOP-9.
The team's main achievement, if it can be called an achievement, was their performance at PGL Copenhagen Major 2024, where Legacy reached the TOP-20. After that, they made constant attempts to take high places at all sorts of TIR-2 championships, CBCS Season 5 and CCT Season 2 North American Series #3 with TOP-4.
In the 2025 season, they made their mark at several S-tier title tournaments. These were PGL Bucharest 2025 and IEM Masters Dallas 2025, where they took TOP-12 and TOP-16, respectively.
Mappool Legacy
Legacy has two 100% maps. They are Nuke with 9 wins in 9 matches, and Anubis with 5 matches and 0 losses.
Ancient also plays (66% wins in 3 matches). They also play Mirage (9 matches, 4 wins). Vertigo – 2 wins and 3 losses and Overpass (2 wins in 7 matches).
They don't play Inferno.

The teams had not previously played each other in official matches.
Predicted Result of the Lynn Vision vs. Legacy Match at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 1
Despite Lynn Vision's advantage in terms of odds, I expect Legacy to win. Brazilian Counter-Strike 2 consistently surprises at important tournaments and why wouldn't it happen now.
Result: Legacy wins.
