The upcoming match between Wildcard and Legacy is set to take place on June 6, 2025, at 17:30 UTC. This best-of-3 series is part of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 1, a prestigious event currently being held in the United States. 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
Wildcard enters the match ranked 48th in the world, as seen on Valve’s world rankings. Their overall win rate stands at 65%, but recent performances have shown a dip, with a 57% win rate over the past six months and a 50% win rate in the past month. They have earned $91,750 in the last six months, ranking them 23rd in earnings. Recent matches at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 1 have been challenging, with losses to BetBoom and B8, though they did secure victories against Lynn Vision and Metizport. Their recent form indicates inconsistency, with a current win streak of zero.
Overall, the team started the tournament well, with two consecutive victories, but the defeat to B8 either undermined their confidence or dampened their spirits. However, they have now lost twice in a row, and perhaps their lack of experience in LAN tournaments was the reason for this.
Legacy, ranked 49th, is in a slightly better form with a 72% win rate over the past six months and a 67% win rate in the last month. They have accumulated $52,875 in earnings over the same period, placing them 40th. Legacy has shown resilience with a recent win against Imperial at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 1. However, they faced a setback against BetBoom and Lynn Vision, but managed to defeat Chinggis Warriors. Legacy is currently on a one-match win streak, suggesting a potential upward trend.
Legacy is basically a replacement for BESTIA, and for them, playing at the Major is a real miracle. The team has recovered from defeat and continues to fight with mixed results. It is important to note that many in the community hate them for replacing the Argentine team, and this may also be one of the factors contributing to their less than successful performance.
Teams’ Map Pool
The map veto process for this match is expected to be strategic. Wildcard is likely to first ban Mirage, where they have a 0% win rate, while Legacy could first ban Train, a map they rarely play. Wildcard’s first pick is anticipated to be Nuke, where they have a 65% win rate, whereas Legacy might choose Inferno, boasting a 67% win rate. Dust2 and Anubis are expected to be banned by Wildcard and Legacy, respectively, leaving Ancient as the decider map.

Head-to-Head
In their last five encounters, Legacy has had the upper hand, winning three out of the five matches against Wildcard. Their most recent meeting on May 16, 2025, saw Legacy triumph with a 2-0 scoreline. Legacy’s ability to consistently perform against Wildcard is evident, although Wildcard did secure two victories last year. The historical data suggests Legacy has a tactical advantage, particularly in map picks and bans.
Prediction
Considering the current form, win rates, and historical head-to-head data, Wildcard is slightly favored to win this match. Despite recent losses, their overall performance metrics and map pool suggest they have the tools to secure a victory. The predicted score of 2:0 in favor of Wildcard reflects their potential to capitalize on Legacy’s weaknesses, especially in the map veto phase.
