Officially: BLAST will organize the CS2 Major in the United States

Therefore, BLAST will be responsible for the first CS Major in 2025. For the Danish company, this will be the second event of this type in its portfolio, after the BLAST.tv Paris Major organized a year ago, which was the culmination of the championship era in CS:GO. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the most important tournament on the scene returns to the United States!

The American audience had been waiting for such an event since 2018, i.e. since ELEAGUE Major Boston. This time, however, it did not affect the eastern coast of the USA, but the southern part of the country. Specifically, Austin, Texas. The organizers themselves admit that they expect 50,000 fans at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 at the Moody Center. The city itself is expected to benefit from investments whose forecast value will be USD 40 million.

“We are incredibly excited. Austin's dynamic atmosphere, state-of-the-art Moody Center, and experience hosting the world's premier events are perfect for what is sure to be an unforgettable event. We can't wait to show the best esports to a global audience and make a positive impact on the local community,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLASTA, in a statement. “It's exciting that Austin has been chosen to host the Major, one of the largest tournaments in the world. Austin is the ideal location to highlight the esports sector and the cutting-edge technology used in contests. The mayor of Austin, Kirk Watson, continued, "We are excited to welcome bands and fans from all over the world to Austin."

After the latest results of ENCE, it was difficult to be optimistic about ESL Challenger Jönköping 2024. Meanwhile, Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński's players surprised everyone and secured their place in the semi-finals on the first day!

Kubena's team has been promoted!

ENCE started its adventure with the Swedish lane with a clash with MIBR. Meanwhile, the Brazilians came to Jönköping as winners of the previous ESL Challenger series, which took place in Melbourne. And they were considered the favorites of this clash. Therefore, it was no surprise that in the first half at Nuke, despite playing in an attacking manner, they played equal to Kuben's team. However, something unexpected happened in half number two. The octopuses dealt the cards from the first to the last second and even the efforts of Breno "brnz4na" Poletto were of little use. ENCE won seven rounds in a row and defeated the Latin team with surprising ease 13:6!

But a few hours later it wasn't going to get any easier. This time, Gurczyński's players were to face a regular participant of the largest CS event, Complexity. So the favorite was obvious again, but ENCE had a better start on Dust2. The two Poles started with a 4-0 lead and only then allowed their opponents to have their say. They, however, did not need to be invited to dance twice, because they took advantage of the invitation. As a result, they went into the break with a two-point advantage. Unfortunately for them, however, they did not follow through. Instead, after the change of sides, ENCE switched gears and allowed themselves moments of weakness only three times. Apart from them, however, Kuben's team looked confident and won 13:10. This meant that from 1st place in group B it would enter the semi-finals.
