CS2 EWC Predictions

Top 10 Counter-Strike 2 Players

With IEM Dallas 2024 concluding last month, one might be tempted to base predictions on the results of that major tournament. However, several behind-the-scenes changes have shaken up the teams.

Kicking off – why aren’t G2 Esports favourites for the CS2 EWC tournament after winning IEM Dallas? Despite winning the tournament, the team underwent several roster changes following the tournament, bringing in two new names in a rather polarizing move. Considering this, the roster is less experienced compared to the others and they are a question mark heading into the tournament.

Outside of G2 Esports, the other teams at IEM Dallas 2024 are more consistent ahead of the tournament. Here’s how the competition ranked at IEM Dallas 2024:

It’s clear as to why Team Vitality and Team Spirit are favorites for this tournament. While Team Vitality packs experience and a tight roster led by fragger “ZywOo”, Team Spirit features insane firepower thanks to the likes of “donk”, the CS2 terminator.

Rewinding to further back in the season, MOUZ remain a contender for this tournament. While they underperformed in Dallas, let’s not forget that this roster won both the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 and the ESL Pro League Season 19 back-to-back in May.

Moreover, the likes of Natus Vincere and FaZe Clan remain evergreen threats at any tournament they feature, hard to put away and always vying for victory.
