by www.academybahamas.com brings you free Counter-Strike 2 predictions for the PGL Major Copenhagen, covering all eight matches of the elimination stage on Thursday, March 21. Odds for each fixture come courtesy of BetOnline.
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CET | Natus Vincere @ -370.37 (-3.5) | TheMongolz @ +271 (+3.5) | O/U 21.5 |
Although TheMongolz are on a three-game winning streak after advancing from the opening stage, the teams they were beating are not on the same level as this Natus Vincere squad. Expect the favourites to win well.
Natus Vincere -3.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1pm CET | MOUZ @ -303.03 (-3.5) | ECSTATIC @ +225 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
MOUZ and ECSTATIC last met in the PGL Major Copenhagen Europe RMR, where the former won rather easily, 13-8. Therefore, we will be taking the favourites to cover the round line.
MOUZ -3.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CET | Team Vitality @ -277.78 (-3.5) | Eternal Fire @ +200 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Team Vitality and Eternal Fire will be one of the better matches of round one, and even though esports betting sites seem to think differently, it should be a close contest.
Over 20.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2pm CET | Virtus.pro @ -333.33 (-4.5) | Imperial @ +240 (+4.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Virtus.pro will put their six-game win streak on the line against a shaky Imperial in their opening match of the Major. After the Brazilians struggled to close out best-of-one maps during the opening stage, the favourites should have little to no trouble winning this one.
Virtus.pro -4.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CET | Complexity @ -188.68 (-2.5) | paiN Gaming @ +137 (+2.5) | O/U 21.5 |
PaiN Gaming earned qualification for the elimination stage off the back of two dominant wins over ENCE and SAW. Complexity will need to be on their game if they want to record a round one victory against an in-form paiN.
Over 21.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3pm CET | FaZe Clan @ -250 (-3.5) | Heroic @ +175 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
FaZe Clan and Heroic have played close matches throughout the last few years, and with both teams at the peak of their powers coming into the Major, we expect nothing different here.
Over 20.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4pm CET | G2 Esports @ -250 (-3.5) | FURIA @ +175 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
G2 Esports were one of the more impressive performers at the Europe RMRs, while FURIA had to survive three straight elimination matches in the opening stage. G2 will win this clash to set themselves up nicely going into round two.
G2 Esports -3.5 rounds
| Time | Team 1 (Handicap) | Team 2 (Handicap) | Over/Under Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4pm CET | Team Spirit @ -303.03 (-3.5) | Cloud9 @ +225 (+3.5) | O/U 20.5 |
Two of the Major favourites with Counter-Strike betting sites will kick off their elimination stage campaigns when Team Spirit take on Cloud9. This best-of-one will be very close, so betting on the overs in the total rounds market looks like the play.
