Complexity (1.91) vs. OG (1.8)
Although Complexity are thought of the favourite, keep in mind that Paytyn “junior” Johnson will stand in for his or her AWPer Håkon “hallzerk” Fjærli. And junior hasn’t actually performed in massive tournaments since September 2023, neither is he enjoying in addition to hallzerk
OG haven’t performed in massive tournaments this yr as Complexity did, however they cruised previous everybody within the European Main Regional Qualifier (MRQ) in April. Their AWPer Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi is essentially higher than junior, and we predict that may play a giant issue on this match
Prediction: OG win
HEROIC (1.09) vs. Chinggis Warriors (6.00)
That is by far the best match from spherical one to foretell. This present HEROIC squad are high 10 materials, and the one purpose they didn’t play as many massive tournaments as the large names, is due to the Valve Regional Standings (VRS) constraints.
Chinggis Warriors, then again, are approach much less skilled. All gamers within the Mongolian crew, for instance, are enjoying their first Counter-Strike Main ever. In fact that best-of-ones can assist out the underdogs, however this one isn’t wanting seemingly in any respect.
Prediction: HEROIC win
BetBoom (1.64) vs. Nemiga (2.12)
Identical to Chinggis Warriors, all of the Nemiga gamers will play their first Main ever. They’re an honest crew, however the nerves may get to them towards BetBoom.
BetBoom have mixture of expertise and youth. Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov has gained a Main with Natus Vincere in 2021 and Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov has made loads of deep runs. On the youth aspect, they’ve one of the crucial promising gamers on the planet in Kirill “Magnojez” Rodnov.
Prediction: BetBoom win
B8 (1.63) vs. Imperial (2.14)
Particularly B8 are on the cusp of a tier-one crew, plainly Imperial want a few roster adjustments to essentially begin difficult the opposite Brazilian groups and climb the ranks.
B8 have extra tactical depth and firepower in the meanwhile, so this must be a reasonably arduous matchup for Imperial until Santino “attempt” Rigal and Lucas “decenty” Bacelar come forth with spectacular performances.
Prediction: B8 win
TYLOO (1.78) vs. NRG (1.93)
This match has every thing to be a kind of tense maps filled with back-and-forth motion.
TYLOO have significantly extra uncooked firepower than the NRG squad, nonetheless, some NRG gamers like Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella and Joshua “oSee” Ohm have extra expertise in massive tournaments. Past that, NRG are additionally one of many residence groups, and whereas there’s no crowd for the Swiss Stage, they’ll in all probability really feel extra comfy.
Prediction: NRG win
Lynn Imaginative and prescient (2.38) vs. Legacy (1.52)
It’s arduous to foretell this matchup as a result of Legacy have been coping with fairly hateful messages from followers after BLAST changed BESTIA with them. So, who is aware of how this affected their preparation and psychological state coming to the Main.
That mentioned, Legacy beats Lynn Imaginative and prescient firepower-wise, and their in-game chief Lucas “lux” Meneghini is turning into a greater shotcaller each month.
Prediction: Legacy win
Wildcard (1.81) vs. Metizport (1.89)
Whereas Wildcard hasn’t been enjoying effectively in massive tournaments, they need to have the sting towards Metizport, who spent many of the yr enjoying in tier-two or tier-three tournaments.
Curiously, this matchup will see two twins enjoying towards each other as Tim “susp” Ångström joined Wildcard final yr after a short-lived stint with Metizport. This would be the first time that he and his twin Adam “adamb” Ångström will face one another in a high-stakes match.
Prediction: Wildcard win
FlyQuest (1.74) vs. Fluxo (1.98)
This Fluxo lineup may be very inexperienced, barring the in-game chief Andrei “arT” Piovezan and the AWPer Romeu “zevy” Rocco. besides FlyQuest have been enjoying collectively for fairly a while and have extra massive tournaments below their belt.
It’s a match that would get very scrappy as neither groups are identified for his or her tactical prowess, however we’re favoring FlyQuest’s expertise in right here.
Prediction: FlyQuest win
