Look Sports Media – The BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 playoffs are heating up, and the anticipation is palpable. Esports Charts analysts predict the CS2 final could reach a staggering 2 million concurrent viewers—but only under the perfect circumstances. Their research pinpoints the key matchups that could ignite this viewer frenzy.
Surprisingly, Team Vitality’s historic six-major win streak doesn’t guarantee a viewership boost, according to the report. Their dominance, while impressive, hasn’t translated into the same audience pull as other teams.
The analysts have outlined three scenarios, ranging from least to most impactful on viewership. The least engaging final, a clash between Natus Vincere (NAVI) and paiN Gaming, is projected to attract 1.1m-1.3m viewers. While paiN boasts a passionate Brazilian fanbase, FURIA’s current popularity overshadows them within the Brazilian scene, and NAVI’s fanbase isn’t as dominant as it once was.

A more compelling matchup, paiN versus Team Spirit, is expected to draw 1.3m-1.6m viewers. Team Spirit consistently delivers high viewership numbers, largely due to the star power of Danil "donk" Kryshkovets.
However, the ultimate dream final, according to Esports Charts, pits FaZe Clan against Team Spirit. This clash of titans, featuring FaZe’s globally recognized superstar Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyljev, could potentially attract a massive 1.6m-2m concurrent viewers, placing it among the most-watched CS2 events ever. Only the PGL Majors in Antwerp 2022 (2.1m) and Stockholm 2021 (2.7m) have surpassed this mark. The potential for a record-breaking audience is undeniable. This final would not only be a spectacle of skill but also a testament to the global reach and popularity of Counter-Strike 2.
