Who are the betting favorites at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025?
Team Vitality was the favorite heading into IEM Chengdu 2025, and little has changed ahead of BLAST Rivals Fall 2025. Their dominance stems not just from a high VRS ranking but from an outstanding 2025 run. Under in-game leader Dan “apEX” Madesclaire, Vitality clinched the IEM Dallas 2025 title with a 3-0 victory over MOUZ. The team also enters as reigning champions of BLAST Rivals Spring 2025, having defeated Team Falcons 3-2 in the grand final.

FURIA is also closing in on Vitality when it comes to earning bettors’ confidence. Sitting at 3.10 odds, the Brazilian squad has strong backing going into BLAST Rivals Fall 2025, especially after their odds-defying 3-0 sweep over Vitality in the IEM Chengdu 2025 finals. That was FURIA’s second big win this year, following impressive showings at FISSURE Playground #2 and the Thunderpick World Championship 2025. With Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato and Yuri “yuurih” Santos leading the charge, FURIA have proven consistently why they’re ranked number one.
Those convinced that their win against Vitality wasn’t a fluke may see FURIA as the smarter pick, while the more cautious bettors might still lean toward the proven consistency of Team Vitality.
Team Falcons remain firmly in the mix at 3.10 odds, bolstered by their impressive run at IEM Chengdu 2025. Although they fell short of reaching the finals, their group-stage performance showcased just how dangerous this roster can be. With Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, and Kyosuke “Kyosuke” Hattori as the primary source of firepower, Falcons is one of the most well-rounded picks heading into the vent.
While these may be the safer bets, those looking for underdog odds at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 shouldn’t count out The MongolZ. After parting ways with Senzig “senzu” Tudev, the team got a much-needed warmup at IEM Chengdu 2025 and showed glimpses of renewed synergy. Their newest addition, Tengis “controlez” Batjargal, posted an impressive 1.20 rating in his debut match, suggesting he’s quickly fitting into the roster. If that chemistry continues, The MongolZ could easily turn into the dark horse here.

Best teams to bet on at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025
While the odds point to clear favorites, smart bettors should weigh recent performances and team dynamics before locking in their picks, and while Team Vitality may lead the BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 pack at 2.70 odds, FURIA could be easily be the safer play. The Brazilian roster has been in remarkable form while routinely outclassing top-tier opponents, and their dominant run at IEM Chengdu 2025 only reinforces their status as one of the most dangerous teams in the world. The Brazilians are riding a wave of confidence heading into BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 that could easily carry them to another major victory.

Team Spirit may not top the list of outright odds, but they’re still one of the smartest bets heading into BLAST Rivals Fall 2025. Their recent results haven’t fully reflected the team’s potential, yet on paper, this roster is absolutley stacked. With Robin “ropz” Kool providing firepower and Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov leading as one of the most seasoned in-game leaders in CS2, Spirit have all the ingredients needed to pull off a statement win.
However, their opening match-up against Team Falcons could prove tricky. If Robin “ropz” Kool delivers a solid performance early on, that confidence could be precisely what Team Spirit needs to make a deep run at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025.
Teams to avoid betting on at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025
BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 features a stacked lineup of world-class teams, but a few have fallen short of expectations this year, making them risky picks for bettors. One of those is Passion UA, a team that has been slacking throughout 2025. The team’s performances in higher-tier events have been subpar, with early exits and few notable wins here and there. Its map pool also remains wobbly, hovering around a 35% win rate on key maps like Nuke and Inferno, and its overall ranking has slipped outside the top 25. Unless Passion UA can pull off a miracle run, its track record suggests it’s one of the weakest bets in this lineup.
TYLOO is in the same risky category, and bettors might want to steer clear of them. The team kicked off 2025 on a high note, winning the Asian Champions League 2025 in Shanghai after defeating Lynn Vision 2-0 in the grand final. They followed that up with a victory at Fissure Playground #1, but since then, their form has dipped dramatically. Despite hints of potential at lower-tier events, TYLOO’s shaky performance suggests that betting on them in a major event like BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 carries risk.
BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 match schedule
BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 will take place from November 12 to 16, featuring eight teams divided into two groups of four.
Each group will compete in a double-elimination best-of-three format, with group winners moving directly to the semifinals and the second- and third-place teams advancing to the quarterfinals. The group stage will run from November 12 to 14, finalizing the four teams advancing to playoffs.
The quarterfinals and semifinals will be held on November 15, leading up to the grand final on November 16, which will be played as a best-of-five. The event’s daily schedule will continue with updated odds and predictions for every stage leading up to the finale. All matches will take place in Hong Kong, marking BLAST’s regional debut in Asia.
Finals – November 16, 2025
FURIA and Falcons are expected to put up a close match, given their dominant runs through the tournament, especially Falcons, who’ve posted clean 2–0 victories across the board. Based on current form, Falcons look like the safer pick of the two, unless FURIA can find an early map and carry the confidence across the series.
