MOUZ have picked up from where they left off in 2023, continuing the strong form got them third-fourth place at the BLAST Premier World Final.
After being knocked out in the same position at IEM Katowice, MOUZ have maintained their top-four position in the world rankings. With the likes of ádám “torzsi” Torzsás and Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo at the top of their games, MOUZ are expected to qualify for the PGL Major Copenhagen, starting with a dominant opening round win.
As for MOUZ’s opponent, Guild Eagles, they have been competing in qualifiers and are yet to participate in any S-Tier events since the organisation was founded in November 2023.
There are 30 ranking spots between Guild Eagles and MOUZ, and the betting odds are a good representation of how close this match is expected to be.

Team Vitality shocked everyone when they were knocked out of IEM Katowice 2024 in last place after suffering defeats to ENCE and Heroic in the opening rounds. The former world number one played inconsistently throughout the event and paid the price against two teams that are in a transition phase.
Vitality will be seeking another top-tier title after they were victorious at the BLAST.tv Paris Major last year, and failure to qualify for the Major will raise massive questions about this roster.
GamerLegion are not playing well right now either; however, they progressed further at IEM Katowice than their opponents, bowing out in 9th–12th place after losing to Heroic.
GL could upset a rocky Team Vitality, and esports betting sites aren’t giving the world number 17 much respect here.
Over 20.5 rounds
MONTE vs ECSTATIC CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Monte -227.27 at BetOnline | ECSTATIC +162 at BetOnline |

IEM Katowice was the first event that Monte played in 2024, and the rust showed as they lost to GamerLegion before claiming victory against Cloud9. The world number 10 was eventually knocked out by G2 Esports in the following round after a three-map series.
Monte will have learned a lot from their three series, and they should be ready to go in the opening rounds of the PGL Major Copenhagen RMR.
The difference in quality between ECSTATIC and Monte is evident when looking at their previous events. ECSTATIC were last seen finishing second in the European Pro League Season 13 (C-Tier) grand final, where they lost to Preasy 3-2.
In what could be a pivotal series for Monte’s RMR campaign, they should be winning this match comfortably over a lesser opponent.
Monte -3.5 rounds
TEAM SPIRIT vs ENCE CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Spirit -333.33 at BetOnline | ENCE +240 at BetOnline |

Since the return of Team Spirit’s full roster, they have won seven series in a row, culminating in the IEM Katowice 2024 title. Led by the historic performance of Danil “donk” Kryshkovets on his Big Event debut, Team Spirit were unstoppable?in Katowice as they defeated some of the best teams in the world.
However, ENCE will be?no easy beats in the opening round of the Europe RMR B. Under the new leadership of Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander, ENCE claimed victories against Team Vitality and G2 Esports on their way to fifth-sixth place at IEM Katowice.
It is hard to tip against Spirit after their dominant IEM Katowice triumph, so playing the round-line market is a much better option.
