The group stage of the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025 concluded with intense drama — three teams secured crucial victories in the fifth round of the Swiss Stage, guaranteeing their spots in the playoffs. The Brazilian giants FURIA and Ninjas in Pyjamas, along with the European team G2 Esports, became the final entrants into the knockout stage.

FURIA 2-0 w7m esports 

FURIA secured their playoff spot after a confident victory over their compatriots w7m esports. The match ended with an overall score of 2:0 — 7:3 on Lair and 7:2 on Skyscraper.

For the "Black Panthers," this marked their eighth consecutive victory over w7m since March 2024. The former Six Invitational 2024 champions demonstrated absolute dominance, leaving no chance for their opponent.

MVP of the match — Felipe “nade” Ferreira. He was the true driving force behind FURIA's win — planting the defuser, winning clutches, and leading in frags. FelipoX and HerdsZ also showcased high individual performance.

FURIA made history as the first team to reach the playoffs of a BLAST R6 Major with a Buchholz score of -10, the lowest among all participants. In the playoffs, the Brazilians remain among the favorites to claim a third Major championship title.

Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-1 Team BDS

The Brazilian team Ninjas in Pyjamas advanced to the playoffs after an incredibly tense match against Team BDS, which ended 2:1.

The "Ninjas" started the series strong by winning Clubhouse, but the Europeans equalized with an 8:6 on Skyscraper. The match's fate was decided on Lair, where NiP overcame their opponent in a highly intense overtime.

MVP of the match — Gabriel “pino” Fernandes. His teammates Wizard and Fntzy also delivered confident performances. Fntzy stood out, boasting an entry rating of +4 (10-6) and a KPR of 0.88.

This marks the first time Ninjas in Pyjamas have reached the top 8 of a BLAST R6 Major since the Copenhagen Major, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. For Team BDS, this defeat was painful — currently, Europe and MENA have only two teams in the playoffs.

G2 Esports 2-1 Weibo Gaming

In the final match of the fifth round, G2 Esports secured a decisive victory over Weibo Gaming with a score of 2:1, cementing their place among the tournament's top teams.

The Europeans opened the series with a 7:4 win on Kafe Dostoyevsky, but the Chinese team responded with a confident 7:1 on Skyscraper. The match's fate was decided on Lair, where G2 claimed a final victory of 7:4.

MVP of the match — Stompn, who was the key factor in the "Samurais'" success due to his consistent play across all three maps. His clutches in crucial moments secured the team's victory and advancement to the playoffs.

After the conclusion of the group stage, FURIA, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and G2 Esports joined the rest of the teams in the playoffs of the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025. The tournament moves into its decisive phase, where every mistake could prove fatal.
