Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the most thrilling teams to watch out for as the matches are determined in our CS2 predictions.
The MongolZ – The Real Deal?
Back in the Opening Stage, The MongolZ were one of the two sides that walked away with a flawless 3-0 record. Taking down Rare Atom, MIBR and GamerLegion, there is an argument to be made regarding their ease of schedule.
However, these results follow an impressive record which has only improved, recently winning the Thunderpick World Championship 2024 with ease. Indeed, this side straight out of Mongolia has a chance to prove themselves in the coming stage with interesting CS2 odds.
Unfortunately for them, their first opponent is G2 Esports – the defending international champions after winning BLAST Premier: World Final 2024. Regardless, we recommend looking out for The MongolZ considering their potential to upset.
Is Team Liquid Back?
Many would argue that a team like Liquid, with such a strong CS legacy, has no business starting off in the Opening Stage. Yet, following another round of roster changes in July of this year, Team Liquid has struggled to return to their former glory.
Since the roster change, the team’s best performance at an international tournament has been 5-6th at the BLAST Premier: Fall Final. Accordingly, a strong 3-0 start at the Perfect World Shanghai Major was essential for this side which now looks renewed and confident.
Starting out against Natus Vincere, Liquid may have to accept an opening defeat. Otherwise, if they play their cards right, the Liquid players could easily land in the Playoffs.
FaZe Clan are Frauds?
Recently, FaZe Clan has struggled to maintain their status in competitive Counter-Strike as a dominant roster. While the teams packs the experience and the achievements, recent results paint a different picture.
Specifically, after finishing 13-16th at the ESL Pro League Season 20 and 7-8th at IEM Rio 2024, this roster has been under incredible scrutiny. However, esports betting sites are entirely aware of the fact that this FaZe Clan roster could suddenly decide to win the entire event.
Considering their legacy and recent performances, you could consider them underdogs.
