Match Overview

The second semi-final of BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 will be the paiN against TheMongolZ. Both teams were the underdogs throughout the tournament and even in their quarter-final matches, but now they’re both here to fight for the Grand Final spot. The last time these two teams met was at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, and TheMongolZ won with a score of 2-1, but this time, considering how important this tournament is, everything might be different, and paiN is looking to get their revenge.

Current Team and Players Form

paiN

From being on the edge of elimination in Stage 3 to making it this far to the semi-final is an incredible result for this team and shows that the long distance that they were playing together, not trying to change every single player, pays off. ‘dgt’ is the one who was brought to the team recently and he is showing star performance at this tournament. More importantly, he is consistent with it. In their quarter-final match against FURIA, they showed that they would never give up and try their best as they had to come back a few times across the series. ‘nqz’, with an outstanding performance, brought his team to victory.

TheMongolZ

The main problem for them throughout the year was their big stage fear, which caused them to play poorly on the big stage. Now they had a chance to play against FaZe in the quarter-final, and FaZe is the opposite of that as they usually get better at big stages. Still, TheMongolZ managed to win with a confident score of 2-0, showing that it might be the time that they overcome their problem with the big stages. ‘910’ and ‘Senzu’ were on top of the scoreboard for their team, while the rest also brought their impact and helped their stars win the match.

Match Prediction

The MongolZ were the better team last time these two teams met, yet it was a close match, and paiN being in better form now might change that. We think that taking a match winner here is a risk, and the better choice will be to bet on the number of maps in this series. We expect this match to have over 2.5 maps, which means that the series will go full three maps. 

Can paiN make it even further in this tournament against all the odds, or will it be TheMongolZ who overcomes their big-stage fear to make it to their biggest Grand Final? We will have to see it this Sunday at 00:30 CET!
