Vitality vs Legacy: BLAST Austin Major CS2 betting guide
Team Vitality enters the BLAST Austin Major as the definitive favorite to win the tournament, and the first stepping stone toward that championship is Legacy.

Vitality’s 2025 has been an exceptional one, but no dominant streak is complete without a major victory. Right now, the team is on the 2019 Team Liquid level, but it has the chance to start knocking on Astralis’ door for all-timer status. A win over Legacy would be the best way to start that run.

Team Vitality vs Legacy teams and maps breakdown
Team Vitality doesn’t need much of an introduction at this point. Anyone who has watched Counter-Strike esports knows how good they are.
The team has won six straight tournaments including IEM Katowice 2025. It’s on a 30-match winning streak where it doesn’t just win, it scarcely gives up maps. Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut is one of the top-rated players in the world, but every player on Vitality has been performing in their role at a high level.

Legacy would’ve needed an introduction a couple of weeks ago. That’s not the case anymore.
The Brazilian team was a late addition to the BLAST Austin Major, taking the spot of Bestia. While it experienced some blowback from fans for this, it has made the most of that opportunity in the group stage, getting through Stage 1 with a 3-2 record then sprinting through Stage 2 with a 3-0 run. Legacy’s performance has been just generally strong to this point, with AWPer Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer standing out in particular.
The young team is performing at a high level, but it’s unclear whether “high level” is enough to get past Vitality.

Map pool
- Vitality couldn’t have had such a successful 2025 without winning a strong majority of its games across all maps. The team’s worst record is a strong 6-3 on Anubis. Its best map is Inferno, where the team is a whopping 18-1.
- Legacy has been absolutely grinding on the regional scene in 2025 and has been playing all six of its maps about equally. It has a winning record everywhere, but is winning more than 70% of its games on Ancient, Nuke, Inferno, and Mirage. Do note, however, that much of Legacy’s 2025 has been spent on the regional scene.
- Legacy’s instaban is Train while Vitality’s is Ancient.

Team Vitality vs Legacy best betting picks and prediction
Team Vitality is the definitive favorite and for good reason, but this is still a best-of-one match. Look to find some good side markets, though consider betting on Legacy in some way if the right line appears.
Best picks
- Vitality wins both pistol rounds @ 2.5 – Legacy’s record in pistol rounds is exaggerated by the team’s relatively light strength of competition in 2025, and it hasn’t really looked that good in Austin in that regard. Meanwhile, Vitality’s record is comparable against the cream of Counter-Strike’s crop.
- Legacy over 7.5 rounds @ 1.98 – For whatever reason, Legacy’s losses against European competition tend to be much closer than when it loses to teams from other regions. When Vitality and Legacy played in Dallas, Vitality won 2-0 but with scores of 13-5 and 13-11.
- Legacy wins @ 6.80 – Vitality is demonstrably better than Legacy by any measure, but this is still a best of one. With a couple of lucky breaks, the Brazilians could break that 30-match winning streak. Look for an extremely juicy line if you’re going to take that bet, though.
Prediction
Our pick: Vitality wins @ 1.12
