CS2 Austin Major 2025: smart Stage 3 betting tips based on Pick’Em trends
As Stage 3 of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 kicks off, bettors are looking at Pick’Em predictions to see which teams are strong and where to find winning bets. Since the Swiss Stage mostly has best-of-one matches, surprises can happen — making it crucial to base your choices on solid data.
Pick’Em trends show what both experts and the community think, helping you make smart bets. Teams like Vitality and MOUZ are popular picks for winning all their matches (3-0), making them good candidates for bets. If you’re looking to bet on Esports, these insights can guide your picks. On the other hand, teams often chosen to lose all matches (0-3) might be good to bet against or for lower scores in their games.
Betting favorites
Team Vitality is a popular choice for the 3-0 spot. They play well and are steady in the Major. If you’re betting, choosing Vitality to win is a safe bet, especially in Best of 1 games where they start strong. But since they are favorites, checking the esports odds can help you find better value — consider bets on total rounds or first-half points instead.
MOUZ is another team favored for the 3-0 slot and makes for a reliable bet. Consider adding them to combination or multi-bets. Their games, especially on maps like Mirage or Ancient, could offer good betting chances.
FaZe Clan, Team Spirit, and The MongolZ are expected to advance, even if they lose early games. These teams are great for live betting, especially if they start slow and you bet on a comeback.
The MongolZ are steady in Best of 1 games, making them a smart choice for betting on upsets against slightly better teams. Their odds might give better returns.
Fading weak picks
Teams like Nemiga, Lynn Vision, and Legacy are expected to exit early. Nemiga’s inconsistency makes them a solid target for handicap or total kill bets. Lynn Vision has aim but lacks strategy, so betting on fewer rounds or against them in pistol rounds can offer value.
Legacy is also not expected to perform well, so betting on quick 2-0 outcomes or fewer rounds if they’re in a best-of-three matchup later in the tournament might be profitable. Many esports betting sites offer these markets, making it easier to find value when fading weaker teams.
