The MongolZ left a statement at ESL Pro League Season 19, where they finished Group A in second place and came just a few rounds short of reaching the quarterfinals. In Malta, they beat Team Falcons and G2 Esports and nearly made it past Virtus.pro, which is nothing to sneeze at, but it could also be nothing more than a momentary flash of greatness.
HEROIC have also done well for themselves recently, with a semifinal run at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 and a top-six finish at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024. However, over that stretch, HEROIC have also proven to be inconsistent.
Even though HEROIC should win on Thursday, they’re up against a capable squad in a best-of-one clash. That is reason enough to consider backing The MongolZ at outsider odds.

Best Odds: | Fnatic $2.40 at GG Bet | Complexity $1.56 at GG Bet |

Fnatic enter YaLLa Compass 2024 with a lot to prove but also the potential to do well. Benjamin “blameF” Bremer, who joined Fnatic from Astralis last month, is a massive addition, and he has already left a positive mark in his first few appearances under a new flag.
However, this will also be Fnatic’s toughest challenge since the roster change and one that should show where they stand.
Complexity have done well over the last month, with a semifinal run at ESL Pro League Season 19 and an unfortunate early exit from IEM Dallas 2024. Over that stretch, Complexity had to play some tough teams and looked competitive, but we’re still talking about a small sample size.
Fnatic can surprise Complexity, but we haven’t seen enough from them yet to justify taking their side.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs ASTRALIS CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

---|---|
Best Odds: | NiP $4.47 at GG Bet | Astralis $1.20 at GG Bet |

Ninjas in Pyjamas hit a new low last month when they exited RES European Series #4 in the group stage, continuing their streak of worrying results. Astralis are on the complete opposite trajectory.
Even though Astralis are still far from their former glory, the Danes have managed three consecutive semifinal appearances across IEM Chengdu 2024, ESL Pro League Season 19, and the CCT Season 1 Global Finals, where they competed against some of the top teams in the world and often came out ahead.
Astralis are not untouchable, and they’ve had some close games against weaker opponents lately. But you have to have a very good reason to back Ninjas in Pyjamas, who have, even against second-division teams, looked powerless.
