How the bookies view it: MongolZ favorite

Before making a more detailed CS2 betting prediction for the MongolZ vs. FURIA match at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, let's talk about the favourite of the match. It’s worth noting that MongolZ are just beginning their tournament run, while FURIA already played during Stage 2. Most bookmakers agree that MongolZ are the favorites here, and this opinion is worth considering.

However, FURIA are capable of putting up a good fight, as they’ve already warmed up during Stage 2 of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

MongolZ form. What result can be expected from MongolZ

Our betting tips and CS2 picks for the MongolZ vs. FURIA matchup begin with analyzing MongolZ form.

The MongolZ made a strong name for themselves in 2024. Before that, they mostly competed in Tier 2–3 tournaments. However, starting from early 2024, the team began performing well in qualifiers and even managed to reach PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, finishing in 15th–16th place. After this initial success, MongolZ again tested themselves in qualifiers — this time for the Esports World Cup — and successfully secured their spot.

Their first major surprise came with a win at YaLLa Compass 2024, which marked their first-ever S-tier tournament victory. From that point on, they began to earn real recognition. At the Esports World Cup 2024, they finished 9th, followed by an impressive 2nd place at the Skyesports Championship 2024. The team maintained its strong form toward the end of the year, winning the Thunderpick World Championship 2024 and claiming $500,000 in prize money, and later placing 5th–8th at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.

MongolZ roster: 910, bLitz, mzinho, Senzu, Techno

In 2025, the team began actively participating in S-tier tournaments, with solid results. Although they haven’t played in many events, they’ve consistently placed in the top 8. Notable achievements include 3rd–4th place at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025 and ESL Pro League Season 21. Representing the Asian region, MongolZ are ranked 1st in regional points and were invited directly to Stage 3 of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

FURIA form. What result can be expected from FURIA

FURIA is a well-known esports team with numerous victories under its belt. As mentioned earlier, the team began its BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 campaign in Stage 2 and advanced to Stage 3 with a 3-1 record. While their performances this year have been inconsistent, FURIA remains one of the top 20 teams in the world. Their synergy and experience make them a formidable opponent, and they are expected to leverage those strengths to push for a playoff spot.

FURIA roster: FalleN, yuurih, KSCERATO, YEKINDAR, molodoy

FURIA has a rich history, as they have consistently participated in top-level tournaments in CS:GO and now CS2. However, the team was also relatively unstable, as they could play very well in one part of the season and justify all CS2 Prdecition, and then not even make it to the top 16 teams.

A similar scenario played out during the 2023 season. FURIA had a disappointing start, barely making the top 20 in a few IEM tournaments. However, in the second half of the season, the team picked up momentum, won an A-tier event, and entered the off-season with renewed confidence and solid preparation for the next year.

In 2024, FURIA participated in numerous tournaments and qualifiers, aiming to solidify their place among the elite. Still, they struggled to consistently perform at their highest level. Among their top achievements in 2024 were 3rd–4th place at YaLLa Compass 2024, 5th–8th at the Esports World Cup 2024, and another 3rd–4th finish at Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024.

In 2025, the team continued to show mid-level performance across a range of tournaments, though signs of progress are becoming evident. Through the VRS Americas, FURIA secured qualification for the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, where they aim to showcase their best game yet.
