This best-of-3 series is part of the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier, specifically in the playoff stage. We have analyzed the statistics and the current form of the teams to make a prediction for the match outcome. You can follow the match here.
Current form of the teams
FUT has been struggling recently, with a series of losses that reflect in their overall performance. Their win rate over the last year and half-year stands at 40%, with a slight improvement to 44% in the recent month. Their recent matches have seen them suffer defeats against teams like VP.Prodigy and MASONIC, with their only recent victory being against Maestro. In the RES Showdown Fall 2025, they secured a 3-4th place finish, but their overall form remains lackluster with a current winstreak of zero.
On the other hand, B8 is ranked 19th in the world according to the Valve Rankings. Despite not having a recent winstreak, their performance in the past six months has been notable, with earnings of $121,500, placing them 21st compared to other teams. B8’s win rates are impressive, boasting a 71% win rate over the recent half-year.
However, their recent month win rate has plummeted to 0%, likely due to their participation in high-tier tournaments like the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025, where they faced tough opponents such as Astralis and FlyQuest. Despite these losses, B8’s overall form and past performances suggest they are a formidable team.
Teams Map Pool
The map veto for the match suggests a strategic approach from both teams. FUT is expected to first ban Train, a map they historically avoid, while B8 will likely ban Nuke. FUT’s first pick is anticipated to be Ancient, where they have a 0% win rate, but B8 has a strong 81% win rate on the same map, making it a risky move for FUT. B8 is expected to pick Mirage, a map where they have a 71% win rate, which aligns with their historical strengths. The remaining maps, Inferno and Dust2, will be banned by FUT and B8 respectively, leaving Anubis as the decider map.

FUT will need to overcome their recent struggles and adapt quickly to stand a chance. The prediction leans towards a 2-0 victory for B8, given their higher ranking, better recent performances, and strong map statistics.
