Gods Reign have secured its first win in the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Asia Regional Qualifier against The Huns.
In their quest for the spot at said Major in June, Gods Reign are three wins away from booking their spot in Stage 1 in Austin. Having lost in the opening game against Eruption, Gods Reign have made it out of the lower bracket after beating The Huns with a 2-1 scoreline.
What happened in the series?
Having gone down in the opening map, Gods Reign started their map pick of Ancient with a stellar offence, going 9-3 up. While the Huns threatened to make a comeback in the second half, Gods Reign managed to level the series by the skin of their teeth, winning the map with a 13-11 scoreline.
Starting on the T side yet again in Inferno, GR managed to edge out a narrow lead of two rounds before switching sides. Harsh ‘f1redup’ Jain’s stellar AWPing on the defence made the CT side a cakewalk for the team, thus winning the map with a dominant 13-6 scoreline.
Gods Reign will face Eruption in the Grand Finals unless they lose in the Consolidation Final against Chinggis Warrior. While Chinggis Warrior could be a relatively balanced matchup for GR, their earlier loss to Eruption suggests the Grand Final will be the true test, if they qualify.
