StarLadder Budapest Major Power Rankings
As the StarLadder Budapest Major approaches, predicting the clear favorites is challenging. These rankings are based on each team’s performance during the latter half of 2025, emphasizing consistency and current form rather than hype.
“Consider it a snapshot of who’s looking strongest heading towards Budapest.”
Astralis
Roster: Magisk, HooXi, Staehr, device, jabbi
Astralis have had a turbulent season. The team changed in-game leaders from cadiaN to HooXi, and personal issues sidelined stavn, forcing Magisk’s mid-season return. Despite those hurdles, they managed to reach the playoffs at FISSURE Playground 1 and 2, BLAST Bounty, and IEM Chengdu. If coach ruggah had not stood in for device at PGL Masters Bucharest, they might have advanced further. While Astralis are reliable playoff contenders, they rarely push beyond the quarterfinal stage. Unlocking device’s top form could elevate them to new heights.
Legacy
Roster: dumau, latto, n1ssim, lux, saadzin
Legacy are currently thriving. Consecutive finals at PGL Masters Bucharest and the CS Asia Championships showcase their momentum. They play with a fast, unpredictable flair reminiscent of early FURIA, powered by dumau and latto’s aggressive leadership.
Summary
Both Astralis and Legacy arrive in Budapest with different stories—experience versus momentum—but their current forms make them teams to watch closely.
Author’s Summary
Astralis’ resilience and Legacy’s rise frame the StarLadder Budapest Major as a clash between seasoned structure and fearless energy.
