StarLadder Budapest Major Power Rankings
Heading into the StarLadder Budapest Major, determining the clear favorites is challenging. This power ranking reflects team performances from the latter half of 2025, based on observation and recent form rather than hype. It offers a clear view of who appears strongest as the event approaches.
Astralis
Roster: Magisk, HooXi, Staehr, device & jabbi
Astralis experienced an unpredictable season. The change in in-game leader from cadiaN to HooXi and the loss of stavn due to personal issues led to Magisk joining mid-season, adding to the challenges. Despite this, Astralis secured playoff spots at FISSURE Playground 1 and 2, BLAST Bounty, and IEM Chengdu.
"If coach ruggah hadn’t been forced to stand in for device at PGL Masters Bucharest, they likely would’ve made playoffs there too."
Though consistent in reaching playoffs, the team rarely advances beyond quarterfinals. If HooXi manages to reignite device’s performance, Astralis could significantly improve their standing.
Legacy
Roster: dumau, latto, n1ssim, lux & saadzin
Legacy is on a hot streak. Consecutive finals appearances at PGL Masters Bucharest and CS Asia Championships demonstrate their growing momentum. Their chaotic, throwback Brazilian style—led primarily by dumau and latto—recalls the early days of FURIA.
