Valve has already launched the official Pick’Em challenge for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 for CS2, and the first users are already eagerly sharing their predictions. In this article, Bo3.gg has gathered predictions for the Opening Stage from the community, analysts, commentators, and professional players.

What is Pick'Em?

Pick'Em in CS2 offers an exciting and interactive way for players to predict the outcomes of the biggest esports tournaments. Participating in these challenges allows fans to bet on the winners of individual matches, accumulate points, and win various prizes.

Community Predictions

The portal Pickstop.gg provided CS2 fans with the opportunity to share their predictions for the outcomes of the Opening Stage of the upcoming PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. The analysis of the first 247 predictions revealed trends in user preferences. Cloud9, Heroic, and ENCE were among the top teams that fans predicted would advance to the next stage of the tournament.

At the same time, teams like ECSTATIC, Legacy, and Lynn Vision were on the opposite end of the spectrum, becoming the least popular choices among prediction participants. Thus, it can be concluded that despite their potential, the community sees them as the main outsiders of the competition.

Predictions from Analysts, Commentators, and Pro Players

According to Pimp's forecast, FURIA, Eternal Fire, Heroic, The Mongolz, SAW, and Apeks will also reach the next stage.

We also asked for a prediction from Chat GPT 4. We collected the statistics of the teams participating in the Opening Stage and presented them to the AI. It analyzed the data and made its prediction for the first stage of the major.

Chat GPT 4 justified its choice as follows:

Cloud9 was chosen as the team to advance with a 3-0 record due to its high statistical indicators, including successful performances in the major qualifiers. The data points to their high form and potential.

Legacy was identified as the team to be eliminated with a 0-3 record because it has one of the worst statistics among the Opening Stage participants. It also has weaker results compared to other teams.

The selection of seven teams to advance to the next stage was based on their statistics relative to Cloud9. Each of the selected teams demonstrated good game form and potential based on the analyzed data.
