Austin Major Pick’em Challenge - Stage 3 Predictions

Counter-Strike
Written By Hashir "HasH" Anis

We are down to the top 16 teams of the BLAST Austin Major and the major has been insanely unpredictable with the amount of upsets with some of the top teams like Falcons going out early in the last stage and underdogs such as Legacy going 3-0 in Stage 2.

This will be the last stage with the same swiss system format after which we will have the single elimination playoff bracket.

Austin Major Stage 3 Pickem Predictions

Here are my complete predictions including a few extra teams to choose from to make your pick’ems for the third stage of the Austin Major. Considering how unpredictable the major has been, it can be pretty difficult to correctly predict the teams that will qualify and be eliminated without a single win.

Some teams may be repeated in the 3-0 and the other bracket as they could either win or lose a game depending on the match-up or if they are not in form on any particular day of the stage.

3-0 Teams

  • Vitality

  • Mouz

  • Team Spirit

3-1/3-2 Qualifying Teams

  • The Mongolz

  • Aurora Gaming

  • Natus Vincere

  • Furia

  • Team Liquid

  • Team Spirit

  • FaZe Clan

0-3 Eliminated Teams

  • Nemiga Gaming

  • Pain Gaming

  • 3DMax

On a closing note, do remember that these are just my predictions based on what teams I think would lose or qualify, make sure to do your own research before making your picks.
