Update, June 23. The tournament stats have been updated — this article reflects the final numbers.

On June 22, the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 wrapped up in the United States, marking the first Counter-Strike Major of the current season. The event drew in millions of viewers from around the globe and set a historic record for total Hours Watched (HW) across the series. The spotlight belonged to Team Vitality, who continued their dominance with an incredible seventh consecutive tournament win!

BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Viewership Statistics

In total, the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 broadcasts have generated over 76.1 million Hours Watched. With it, the tournament has set a record in Counter-Strike history.

The tournament hit over 1.789 million Peak Viewers, recorded during the grand final between Team Vitality and The MongolZ. In case you missed it, the French squad came out on top with a 2:1 victory.

Note: Statistics from Chinese livestreaming platforms have not been included, as their publicly available viewership data differs from the concurrent viewership figures typically used by us on worldwide livestreaming services like Twitch, YouTube, and remains unreliable, rendering them incompatible with most other data services. These stats also do not include viewership from Steam.tv, where streams launch automatically and aren’t counted toward active viewership.

It’s worth noting that both finalists hit personal viewership milestones — matches featuring Team Vitality or The MongolZ had never drawn this many viewers before. A new milestone was also reached for Mongolian-language esports broadcasts. While the exact viewer count is still being finalized, it’s the first time in esports history that more than 100,000 people tuned in. On top of that, thousands of fans gathered in Ulaanbaatar’s main square and other cities to watch The MongolZ matches live, even though the grand final began at 4:30 AM local time.
