Mauisnake breaks down his expectations for the BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 teams in a detailed tier list, sorting them from S-Tier (title contenders) to lower-tier dark horses. With only 6 teams advancing from the brutal Copenhagen group stage, every squad must prove its worth before heading to Lisbon’s MEO Arena for the single-elimination playoffs. The $400,000 prize pool and BLAST’s Frequent Flyer tokens raise the stakes, making each match a must-watch.
Mauisnake highlights top-tier teams dominating the HLTV rankings, placing them in S and A+ Tiers, while questioning the upset potential of rising underdogs like FURIA, M80, Imperial, and The Huns. He also debates whether certain squads, despite their star-studded lineups, deserve their A or B Tier placements. The BO3 quarter- and semi-finals, leading into a BO5 grand final, ensure the best teams will have to fight through every round. With the world’s best CS2 teams battling in BLAST’s new tournament format, Mauisnake’s predictions set the stage for an electrifying event on March 17–30.
