Eternal Fire vs. Natus Vincere Prediction on March 29, 2024

Match info

PGL Copenhagen Major 2024, which is truly a celebration of Counter-Strike 2, is reaching its pinnacle. Fans are preparing to travel to Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the Royal Arena, the site of the inaugural CS2 Major competition Playoffs wherein Bo3-type battles using a single-elimination system will take place. Eight teams, including Eternal Fire and Natus Vincere, will compete for the world title. Their match is scheduled to start on Friday, March 29, at 5 PM local time.

In this and subsequent betting threads, we’ll try to determine whether the Turkish or Ukrainian side will advance to the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Semifinals, using the odds of some of the top eSports online operators from the CS2 betting sites list as a “signpost”.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Eternal Fire

As set by online bookies, Eternal Fire’s victory is somewhat more valuable than Natus Vincere’s.

Throughout the season, the world’s 13-ranked squad has encountered challenges, even though they won ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference at the start of the season and qualified for EPL S17 afterward. The Main Event, however, finished disastrously for the Turks with only the top 20 and no group exit. That was definitely the worst result of the squad captained by Engin Küpeli “MAJ3R”. EF failed to advance to the season’s sole Major—BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. They were at their finest around the middle of the year. Twice, but at TIR-B events—CCT North Europe Series #7 and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1— Eternal Fire placed in the top 4.

The Turks qualified for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 after placing in the top 8 of the qualifying competition. They are feeling great so far at this Major: three victories and one loss.

The current form of Natus Vincere

In the upcoming match, Natus Vincere is a narrow favorite.

While still performing with the previous squad, NAVI had a string of successful tournaments in the last season. Almost always, they were taken to the high ranking. The Ukrainians triumphed at BLAST.tv. Paris Major 2023: European RMR A to qualify for the Paris Major with ease. The sole Major of the year, the one in Paris, proved to be a bust for NAVI. For an organization of their caliber, finishing in the top 11, the worst placement in 2023, is scarcely respectable. “Born to Win” made their debut at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 with the three additions to the squad.

The Ukrainian team had a great start to the year 2024. They won PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier A first, which secured them a spot in BLAST Premier: Spring Final after they placed first in their group. NAVI missed the playoffs at IEM Katowice for the first time in a long time. They advanced to the first-ever Counter-Strike 2 Major with great confidence, finishing the Elimination Stage with a 3-2 record and two consecutive victories at the start.

Head-to-head

The teams’ most recent meeting took place at IEM Katowice in 2024. NAVIi then prevailed, winning 2-1.

Match analytics

The odds indicate that this match is the closest of all at the PGL Copenhagen Major 2024 Playoffs first round. Eternal Fire have already proven they are a force to be reckoned with and are prepared to continue exhibiting the greatest caliber of playing. NAVI is obviously having trouble; two of its players are among the top 10 poorest performers from the Elimination Stage, suggesting that their individual performance may not be at its best. In general, we’re holding out for a fully developed Bo3.

Bottom line: “Total maps 2.5 – over” at odds of 1.88 on Loot.bet.
