Esports Charts published the viewership statistics for the most-watched matches of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 — the grand final between Vitality and The MongolZ drew a record-breaking 1,789,313 viewers. This is a new absolute record in the history of CS2 and all majors. However, the data does not account for the audience from Chinese platforms and Steam.tv, making the numbers even more significant.

The Asian team The MongolZ contributed significantly to the popularity — it is estimated that up to 3% of Mongolia's population followed the live broadcast. Despite the late-night broadcast time, over 85,000 people from the country tuned into the final. Such a level of engagement is rare even for top-tier teams.
