| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CET | G2 Esports @ -175.44 (-2.5) | Cloud9 @ +125 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
Both G2 Esports and Cloud9 recorded a dominant win and suffered a tough defeat on the opening day of the elimination stage. This series is going to be very tight, so the overs in the total rounds market look like the best play.
Over 21.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CET | Heroic @ +110 (+2.5) | Virtus.pro @ -151.52 (-2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
Virtus.pro recently defeated Heroic 2-0 in a best-of-three series where the maps went to 23 and 24 rounds, respectively. With both of these teams showing inconsistencies, the total rounds market appears to be the safest bet.
Over 21.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CET | Eternal Fire @ +125 (+2.5) | FaZe Clan @ -175.44 (-2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
FaZe Clan has a chance to make a statement in this match by taking down a serious team in Eternal Fire. Expect FaZe to flex their muscles and dominate a slightly weaker team in a high-pressure clash.
FaZe Clan -2.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CET | Imperial @ +200 (+3.5) | Team Vitality @ -277.78 (-3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Team Vitality have yet to show their best Counter-Strike through two matches this Major, while Imperial will be doing some soul-searching after a crushing 13-2 loss to Team Spirit on day one. Team Vitality have to win this to keep their Major hopes alive.
Team Vitality -3.5 rounds
Best-of-three matches
| Time | Team 1 | Team 2 | Over/Under Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CET | Complexity @ +150 | MOUZ @ -200 | O 2.5 @ -111.11 / U 2.5 @ -125 |
MOUZ are deserving favourites in this clash with Complexity, and it is hard to see the world number four losing to North America’s only hope. MOUZ turned around two slow starts and converted them into wins on day one, but with a chance to progress to the playoff stage, expect a different team here.
MOUZ -4.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 | Team 2 | Over/Under Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CET | paiN Gaming @ +123 | TheMongolz @ -156.25 | O2.5 @ -111.11 / U2.5 @ -112.36 |
Although TheMongolz and paiN Gaming are expected to play minor roles at PGL Major Copenhagen, this series has the potential to be one of the most exciting clashes of the day. It is hard to see either team winning this 2-0, so over 2.5 maps is the play.
Over 2.5 maps
| Time | Team 1 | Team 2 | Over/Under Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6pm CET | ECSTATIC @ +175 | FURIA @ -250 | O2.5 @ -111.11 / U2.5 @ -125 |
FURIA will go into their clash with ECSTATIC as overwhelming favourites despite coming off two lacklustre performances, whereas ECSTATIC were impressive in a close loss against MOUZ. It is hard to tip either team to win this series, especially at the odds on offer with esports betting sites.
Over 52.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 | Team 2 | Over/Under Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6pm CET | Team Spirit @ -277.78 | Natus Vincere @ +200 | O2.5 @ +100 / U2.5 @ -138.89 |
Team Spirit and Natus Vincere will play out the match of the day, with both teams coming into the series in very good form. Spirit triumphed 2-1 when these two met at IEM Katowice 2024, so expect a similar score line.
