The first Counter-Strike Major of 2025 is reportedly going to be hosted in the U.S. as organizer BLAST is “likely” considering Austin, Texas to host what would be the third CS2 Major.

As first reported by HLTV, “multiple sources” told the outlet that Austin is the “likely choice.” With the first 2025 Counter-Strike Major tentatively scheduled for June of next year, it will have been well over seven years since North America or the U.S. hosted a Major. The last time the U.S. played host was the ELEAGUE Boston Major in January 2018, where the North American roster of Cloud9 famously defeated FaZe Clan in a thrilling grand final, marking the only time an NA roster has won a CS Major.
