StarLadder Budapest Major power rankings

StarLadder Budapest Major Power Rankings

As the StarLadder Budapest Major approaches, identifying clear favorites is challenging. This power ranking reflects team performances from the latter half of 2025, focusing on recent form over hype—offering a snapshot of the strongest contenders heading into Budapest.

Astralis Roster

Magisk, HooXi, Staehr, device, and jabbi have experienced a turbulent season. The switch in in-game leadership from cadiaN to HooXi and the loss of stavn due to personal issues led to Magisk joining mid-season, adding more complexity. Despite this, Astralis secured playoff spots at FISSURE Playground 1 and 2, BLAST Bounty, and IEM Chengdu.

If coach ruggah hadn’t stepped in for device at PGL Masters Bucharest, they likely would’ve reached playoffs there as well.

The team consistently makes playoffs but seldom advances beyond the quarterfinals. Should HooXi manage to reignite device’s performance, Astralis could rank even higher.

Legacy Roster

Featuring dumau, latto, n1ssim, lux, and saadzin, Legacy is currently on an upward trajectory. Their back-to-back finals appearances at PGL Masters Bucharest and the CS Asia Championships indicate they have found their rhythm.

They play a chaotic, throwback Brazilian style reminiscent of early FURIA, with dumau and latto leading the charge.

Legacy’s aggressive and dynamic playstyle has clearly positioned them as a team to watch.

Summary: These rankings highlight key contenders with Astralis showing resilience amid roster changes and Legacy rising rapidly with a chaotic, aggressive style.
