BLAST wants to hold the first Counter-Strike 2 Major of 2025 in the United States, and Austin, Texas will likely be chosen as the host city, hltv.org reported citing its sources.
The announcement could be made at the upcoming BLAST Spring Finals, which is scheduled for June 12-16. The tournament organizer recently announced that it will reveal some secrets during the London event, including the format and locations of the 2025 tournaments and a few other things.
The first 2025 Major is scheduled for June 9-22 and will conclude the season. The Winter Major is scheduled for Dec. 1-14.
BLAST has hosted a Major before, it was in 2023 in Paris, which ended up being the last Major for CS:GO. Here's how Andrew Haworth commented on the event:
It was a very successful event for BLAST, it would be a great opportunity for BLAST to host a Major in a new ecosystem where affiliate leagues would no longer exist.
On the current news regarding the Major in 2025, BLAST declined to comment when contacted by HLTV. The last time the United States hosted a Counter-Strike Major was in 2018, when ELEAGUE hosted the first Major that year in Boston. Cloud9 won the tournament, defeating FaZe in a dramatic final.
