The match between 3DMAX and Heroic at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier will be an intriguing confrontation. This is a decisive match for reaching the next stage, and each team will fight to preserve their chances of success. The Bo3 format promises an intense fight on every map.

Current Team Form

3DMAX show a stable level of play. They have gained a foothold in the middle tier thanks to strong performances at B-Tier tournaments, and also won a 2-1 victory over G2 at European RMR B. Although their performance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 ended with a loss to MOUZ in the  Elimination Stage, the team continues to improve their game.

Heroic, unlike 3DMAX, made a significant step in a new direction by completely changing the lineup after the recent failures. The new team has not yet played a single official match, so their form remains a mystery. This game will be the debut for the updated Heroic, which adds intrigue to the confrontation.

Team Map Pool

3DMAX: The team's main strengths are focused on Inferno (81%) and Dust II (74%), where they confidently play their matches. On the other hand, Mirage (0%) and Ancient (40%) are weak, and are usually excluded from the Mup pool.

Heroic: Due to the complete change in the roster, map stats are not up to date, but in the previous roster, their best maps were Vertigo (67%) and Mirage (67%). We'll see how the new roster adapts to the mappool during the game.

Mappool forecast: Most likely, the match will take place on Ancient, Anubis, and Dust II.

Personal Meetings Between the Teams

Over the past six months, 3DMAX and Heroic have met twice. Heroic won both matches (2:1 and 2:0). However, the current updated Heroic lineup completely changes the dynamics of their future confrontations.

Match Prediction

Given 3DMAX's stability and the uncertainty surrounding Heroic's new roster, 3DMAX looks like the favorite. However, Heroic can take advantage of the surprise effect if their new roster shows a coordinated game. Expected score: 2:1 in favor of 3DMAX.

BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is an important stage for teams looking to break into the elite. The change in Heroic's lineup adds a special significance to this tournament, as everyone is closely watching their debut.
