Even though they made it this far, the only top team they met on their way was <strong>Natus Vincere<\/strong>, who also looks in a slump. Other than that, they have less experience than any team at this stage, and it might be hard for young players to show their best game at the big stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BLAST London 2025 Finals Schedule and Match Times (CET)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">August 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MOUZ <\/strong>vs. <strong>M80 <\/strong>starting at <strong>15:30 CET<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FaZe <\/strong>vs. <strong>G2 <\/strong>starting at <strong>18:30 CET<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">August 6<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vitality <\/strong>vs. TBD (the winner of <strong>MOUZ <\/strong>vs. <strong>M80<\/strong>) starting at <strong>16:00 CET<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FURIA <\/strong>vs. TBD (the winner of <strong>FaZe <\/strong>vs. <strong>G2<\/strong>) starting at <strong>19:00 CET<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">August 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>Grand Final <\/strong>starts at <strong>16:00 CET<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Watch BLAST London 2025 Finals (Twitch, YouTube &amp; BLAST.tv)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-1024x340.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-1024x340.png 1024w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-768x255.png 768w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-150x50.png 150w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch-450x149.png 450w, https:\/\/blix.gg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/twitch.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How to Watch BLAST London Finals 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans worldwide can catch every moment live, whether at home, on the go, or even sneaking a peek at work.
