Legacy wasn’t even supposed to be in the BLAST Austin Major, but can you bet on the Brazilian squad punching its ticket to the second stage of the major by eliminating Wildcard?

Argentinian team Bestia was a late scratch from the BLAST Austin Major after the team encountered visa issues. Legacy was the team given their spot and while they’ve faced some blowback for getting this opportunity, the team has made the most of it regardless. The squad has a 2-2 record in the group stage and eliminated regional rival Imperial to do so. Can it take out Wildcard, though?

Wildcard vs Legacy in-depth team, match analysis

Wildcard got off to a rip roaring start at the BLAST Austin Major, running over Metizport and then taking a key overtime victory over Lynn Vision Gaming. The best-of-threes haven’t been as kind, though. B8 handed Wildcard a demoralizing 2-1 defeat, which was followed by a pair of overtime losses against BetBoom.

Just like that, Wildcard went from being on the brink of advancement to the brink of elimination. Wildcard’s tournament thus far has largely boiled down to momentum. The team is either getting bullied by opponents or looking absolutely unstoppable, with little middle ground thus far.

The same can be said for Legacy. With the exception of its best-of-one against Chinggis Warriors, all of Legacy’s maps have lasted 20 rounds or fewer. That has led to absolute stomps against Imperal and tooth-swallowing defeats BetBoom.

This is a match that will be determined by which team can find ways to stifle the other team’s momentum, or which can keep the pedal down for long enough that the lead won’t slip away.

Map pool

Wildcard’s map records are unremarkable, save a rough 5-9 record on Dust 2 in 2025. Its go-to maps have been Nuke and Inferno, and it has a 60% or better winrate on both. The team’s best map in terms of pure winrate, however, is its 66% mark in nine matches on Ancient.
Legacy has remarkably played all six of its non-permabanned active duty maps almost evenly. It has a 70% or better winrate across Mirage, Nuke, Ancient, and Inferno, and is above 50% on Dust 2 and Anubis.
Legacy permanently bans Train. Wildcard doesn’t permaban any map, but it does actively avoid playing on Mirage.

Best picks

Legacy wins @ 2.19 – This matchup is effectively a coinflip, so moneyline bets on either team that go past 1.90 offer some value.
Map 1 under 19.5 rounds @ 3.34 – Both Legacy and Wildcard are prone to giving away steep map losses, so take a good look at lines related to maps being wrapped up quickly.
Legacy wins 2-1 @ 3.88 – This one will likely go back and forth, whether maps go long or short.
