M80 have qualified for the BLAST R6 Major Munich Playoffs after a 2-1 victory against the Siege X Esports World Cup 2025 champions, Team Secret.
Team Secret had the better start to the match as they won their map pick, Border, after a heated overtime. However, in a not-so-close second game, M80 leveled the series with a 7-4 win on Lair. Finally, Kafe went all the way to overtime again as the Americans secured the series will following an 8-6 victory on the Russian map.
All in all, M80 showed a better team display as Gaven "Gaveni" Black, Leonardo "Kyno" Figueiredo, and Ayden "dfuzr" Gabari all averaged SiegeGG ratings of 1.24 and 1.22. Meanwhile, Shaun "Gunnar" Pottorf averaged a SiegeGG rating of 1.11. Last but not least, the team's IGL Matthew "Hotancold" Stevens finished the game with a SiegeGG rating of 0.80. However, he was also a crucial part in the team's win as he clutched two rounds, planted the defuser three times, and helped with his contributions as an in-game leader.
With this win, M80 have reached the Top 8 of a BLAST R6 Major for the first time since the BLAST R6 Major Manchester. Back then, the team was knocked out of the competition after a 0-2 defeat against DarkZero Esports. However, the current M80 roster includes four of the five players that won the competition held in Manchester. So... is this a good, or a bad omen?
Meanwhile, Team Secret will have to play another BO3 tomorrow as they will face off against another team with a 2-1 match record. However, they won't be able to face off either Wildcard or Team BDS, as they have already played against them.
