It wouldn't be the Major without Pick'Ems, so it's now time to get deciding who you think will be advancing in the Major.
Valve has now released the Viewer Pass for the BLAST.tv Austin Major, meaning that stickers and Pick'Ems are now both available. You can submit your Pick'ems on BLAST.tv here and simulate the stages here
As well as that, there's also a collaboration with Games Workshop to celebrate the Warhammer Skulls 2025 event, seeing four Warhammer 40,000-themed sticker capsules added to CS2.
Activating an Austin 2025 Viewer Pass gives players a Bronze Coin, which can be upgraded via the Pick'Em challenge.
You'll also get unlimited access to a team graffiti for the duration event, allowing you to show your support for your favourite team.
Alongside this, there's also the opportunity to earn and purchase Souvenir Tokens, which can be redeemed for Souvenir Cases to get a memento from a match, or matches, of your choosing.
There are two available options for the Viewer Pass, the standard version and an upgraded one that comes with three Souvenir Tokens.
Major Pick'Ems are some of the most fun parts of any Major, giving fans the opportunity to look smart compared to everyone else by earning a Diamond Coin to display on their profile.
It's a simple challenge, all you have to do is activate your Viewer Pass and then place all ten of your Pick'Em predictions in each stage - just make sure you remember to hit save.
From there, you only need to get five correct predictions in each of the three Swiss Stages to secure the next stage of the Coin Upgrade.
For the playoffs, you'll only need to correctly predict two of the quarter-finals, one semi-final, and the winner. So, pretty simple.
Earning points towards the Coin Upgrade will level up your coin, as well as securing you Souvenir Tokens to earn Souvenir Packages, which are otherwise able to be bought.
Stickers will also now be available, meaning that players are now able to buy the team logo and player autograph capsules for the Major.
There are three capsules to pick from right now, the Legends, Challengers, and Contenders capsules. An additional Champions capsule will be made available at the end of the Major when a winner has been decided.
