We have arrived in Texas for the BLAST.tv Austin Major in Counter-Strike, a $1,25M tournament where the best teams in the world gather to write history together.
Every major is unique, with its own soul, structure, and opportunities – it’s the main goal for every Counter-Strike organisation to reach them in order to grow their brand and showcase their teams. A good result in a Major can change EVERYTHING! Our Counter-Strike squad, led by Head Coach Ahmed “abdi” Abdi along with several individuals from management and a professional videographer, arrived in the States last weekend, and are now preparing for go-time tonight at 20:45 CEST, when they play their opening match versus Wildcard. We are hosting watchparties in four different locations in Norway and Sweden where you can come hang out and watch the matches with friends and other fans!
But you can also watch the match from home, live at BLAST’s Twitch!
All the teams attending the Major get these “plaques” upon arrival, with a few words from the organizer. Of course, ours was heavily focused on the fact that we’re the first fully-Swedish line-up to attend a Counter-Strike Major since 2019. Six years in the making, in the name of Sweden!
“For a country that once ruled Counter-Strike, the search for a new generation felt endless. Talent came and went, expectations rose and fell – but greatness proved elusive. Now, at last, Sweden has a new flagbearer. Metizport has risen to carry the flame forward.”
One of our owners, three-time Sprinter World Champion and Tokyo 2020 Gold-medalist Karsten Warholm, shows his support as well. The Major appearance is not only important for the players but for every single individual involved in the organisation, from the CEO to chairmen and shareholders. Tonight at 20:45 CEST, they will all be watching.
Whether you’re watching the match from home, during the night shift at work, at one of our watchparties, or from the other side of the earth way past bedtime – we want to hear you all! Post on X, Instagram, Tiktok & Facebook and tag us! Don’t let your support go unnoticed in the Twitch chat or in the sofa with your friends. We’re here and we’re here together! Thanks to all of you for the support – without you this journey wouldn’t have been possible. We’ve already written history by qualifying to the Major, but let’s not stop here!
Remember: The action starts 20:45 CEST today HERE.
