It looked like Wildcard and FlyQuest got pretty passable opponents in the other two Round 4 upper matches. Two spectacular upsets ruined that impression.

The match between OG and NRG in Round 4 is exactly such a show! You can’t immediately point at the stronger team, but the level of both is great enough to deliver some wonderful CS2 excitement.

OG vs NRG: Map scores, details, and the result
It’s a best-of-three (Bo3) CS2 esports match, so the teams have some space for mistakes and recovery.
OG 2:0 NRG — OG win the series
Map | Pick by | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Mirage | NRG | OG 13:6 NRG |
| 2. Nuke | OG | OG 13:3 NRG |
| 3. Inferno | Decider | - |
The match turned out to be much more one-sided than expected. OG won nine rounds in the first half on Mirage, and it did not look like the opponents’ pick. NRG somewhat recovered on the CT site, but OG needed very little to seal the deal.
On Nuke, the situation was not better for NRG. OG again went for the break with 9:3, and then they did not let NRG win even a single round.
OG join the other teams at Stage 2 of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
