The list of all players registered for the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 has been out since May 9th, and Dust2.us took a look to identify who are the oldest and the youngest players are attending the American Major.

There's a surge of fresh talent in the competitive scene, but plenty of CS:GO and even Counter-Strike: 1.6 veterans are still around.

These are the top five youngest players registered for the Austin Major:

The fact that the age gap between karrigan and zweih is 18 years is truly mind-blowing and just goes to show how the Danish IGL is doing a great job keeping up with all the newcomers.

The BLAST.tv Austin Major Stage 1 kicks off on June 3rd, and maybe we'll see some generational clashes.
