Match Overview

The second quarter-final match of BLAST.tv Austin Major will be the Brazil derby between FURIA and paiN. These two teams probably know each other to perfection, and it is always interesting to see how they play against one another. They met recently at Stage 2, and paiN won with a score of 13-11, so FURIA has all the chances to take their revenge here in a much more important match.

Current Team and Players Form

FURIA

They made it to the Playoff Stage unbeatable by winning three games in a row against TheMongolZ, Aurora, and Virtus.pro. Throughout the matches, we’ve seen the incredible performance of their recent addition ‘molodoy’, their all-time stars ‘yurih’ and ‘KSCERATO’ and even ‘YEKINDAR’ who also joined them not so long ago and already bringing his impact to this team. ‘FalleN’, one of the most experienced in-game leaders, seems to be making this team work well. FURIA is in great shape, even though it might get harder for them, considering that they have a young player who will be playing his first time on the big stage.

paiN

After starting Stage 3 and losing against Spirit and G2, they were on the edge of being eliminated, but step by step, they managed to win three matches in a row and make it to the Playoff Stage. In their decider match against Virtus.pro on the decider map, they barely closed it out after leading with a score of 10-2; the map ended up with a score of 13-11 after Virtus.pro made a huge comeback attempt.

‘biguzera’ is known for his in-game leading skills inside and outside the game, and he is the one to cheer up his team. Their recent addition, ‘dgt’, already showed us that he is capable of star performance as at his first big tournament, he was on the top of the scoreboard in their decider match. ‘nqz’, being their main sniper, has shown us insane AWP skills throughout this tournament and he is in a good form and same we could say about ‘dav1deuS’. ‘snow’ is their only player who got a bit lost in their decider match which looked like he couldn’t handle the pressure. The team seems to be in good form, but they’re yet to show how they deal with the pressure of the big stage.

YEKINDAR is happy with the playoffs

Match Prediction

Brazil derby is always a hard thing to predict since all the teams know each other so well, but based on experience of the big stages, it’s on the FURIA side, same as the recent results and the teams FURIA had to play against to make it this far. We expect FURIA to win this match.

Can paiN fight against the experience of FURIA on a big stage and repeat the recent result, or will it be FURIA to take their revenge and send paiN home? We will have to see it this Friday at 01:30 CET!
