SELCTION 1 – Masonic to win @ -222
MASONIC’s Momentum in CS2
Let’s dive into the CS2 matchup first. MASONIC, the Danish squad, faces Brute in a best of three clash during Group B’s Upper Bracket on October 30 at 09:00 UTC. This encounter feels like a lock for MASONIC, who have been building momentum through consistent performances in recent tournaments. They’ve strung together a series of wins, showcasing sharp coordination and adaptability that has carried them through group stages with confidence. Their approach emphasizes strong macro control controlling the economy, site executions, and rotations which has proven effective against mid-tier opponents. Key players like KralleJ and Avou bring firepower and clutch potential, turning potential stalemates into decisive rounds. MASONIC’s recent outings, including dominant displays against teams like Preasy Mix and Imperial Academy, highlight their ability to maintain composure under pressure, often closing out maps efficiently on favorites like Ancient or Mirage.
Brute’s Struggles Against the Odds
In contrast, Brute enters on shaky ground, hampered by a string of losses that expose vulnerabilities in their setup. The Czech team has struggled with consistency, particularly in high stakes exchanges where their aggression falters against more disciplined foes. Recent defeats to outfits like Fire Flux and Abyss underline issues with mid round decision making and utility usage, leaving them exposed to counter attacks. While Brute has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, their head to head history with MASONIC is evenly split, but the Danes current trajectory suggests they’ve evolved beyond those earlier skirmishes. Expect MASONIC to leverage their superior team synergy and map knowledge to secure a straightforward 2-0 or 2-1 win, advancing them deeper into the tournament while Brute grapples with regrouping.
Selection 2 – TES to win @ -250
TES Takes Center Stage in LoL Worlds
Shifting gears to the League of Legends spectacle, TES takes on G2 in the Worlds 2025 Quarterfinals best of five, kicking off around 15:00 CST on October 30. This marquee matchup pits China’s LPL powerhouse against Europe’s resilient underdogs, with TES positioned as clear favorites due to their explosive talent and home advantage in Shanghai. TES has navigated the Swiss Stage with grit, securing key wins that demonstrate their potential for dominance. Their lineup shines through individual brilliance: Kanavi’s aggressive jungling sets the pace with early ganks and objective control, while top laner 369 excels at split pushing and team fights, often on champions like Aatrox. Mid laner Creme provides synergy in rotations, and bot lane anchor JackeyLove, a veteran world champion, delivers devastating late game carries that can swing series.
G2’s Comeback Spirit Meets TES Firepower
G2, meanwhile, has embodied the spirit of comebacks, riding a wave of momentum from upsets in the Swiss rounds. Led by the creative mid laner Caps, they’ve dazzled with innovative drafts and high-risk plays that catch opponents off guard. However, G2’s early game passivity and occasional macro slips evident in tense reverse sweeps against teams like FlyQuest could prove costly against TES’s relentless pressure. While G2 boasts a storied history, including past MSI successes, the recent Swiss Stage rematch where TES claimed a convincing BO1 victory serves as a blueprint for exploitation. In a best of five, TES’s mechanical edge and adaptability in longer series should prevail, likely resulting in a 3-1 or 3-2 outcome that propels them to the semifinals.
