After the Opening and Elimination Stages of the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, we’ve remained unscathed throughout, keeping ourselves in the running for that rare Diamond coin. We hope you’ve been following along so far!
Valve has finally released the CS2 Pick’Ems Challenge for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. You can still make predictions on games that happen at the Major, and if you get enough of them correct, you’ll earn a shiny coin in one of the Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Diamond finishes to display on your profile.
These Pick’Ems were always popular for every CS:GO Major, providing a great way to interact with the matches beyond simply watching them. To celebrate, we’re bringing you best CS2 Pick’Ems for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, that’ll set you well on your way to earning that Diamond coin.
Now, it’s time for the Playoffs, which are arguably the strongest set of games at any CS Major ever. Because of this, it’s going to be a tough stage to call. We’ve got what we feel to be the best CS2 Pick’Ems for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Playoffs right here:

Admittedly, we think we’ve gone very safe here. Vitality should trounce Cloud9, and Spirit have had FaZe‘s number of late. We’ve not seen these Vitality and Spirit squads come to blows yet, but of the two, we think Spirit have the higher ceiling and floor, so we’ve gone with them on the top side of the bracket.
On the lower side of the bracket, we think NAVI will have to dig deep to take down a high-performing Eternal Fire, but we reckon they’ll get over the line. MOUZ are on a different level to G2 at the moment, and we’d be shocked if the young squad can’t get the job done here. Between MOUZ and NAVI, it’s a total coin toss. There isn’t much between these two, but we’re backing siuhy to make consecutive Major finals.
If it’s between MOUZ and Spirit, the Grand Final of the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 will be more interesting than you think. During the RMR, MOUZ became the only team to beat this Spirit lineup in a best-of-three in 2024 (they used stand-ins at the BLAST Spring Groups). MOUZ know the secret to nerfing donk, but can they do it on the big stage? We’re betting our Diamond coin on no – Spirit will find the answers this time and win the entire thing.
The Playoffs Pick’Ems for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 are officially live, and this is the final stage that you’ll be able to play. Valve has updated the game after the final match of each Stage, opening up the option to choose your next set of CS2 Pick’Ems.

This will lock after the when the Playoffs begin, so keep an eye out to make sure you don’t miss the deadline! If you fulfill all the requirements after the tournament is completed, you’ll then be awarded the coveted Diamond coin.
As of right now, the Opening Stage is the only available stage for CS2 Pick’Ems at the moment. The Elimination Stage and Playoffs will open up as the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 plays out. To progress from the first stage and ensure you’re still in the running for the Diamond coin, you need to select 5 / 10 correct CS2 Pick’Ems the first time around. For the opening stage, we think that’ll be pretty easy.
Here are our CS2 Pick’Ems for the Opening Stage:

With quite a weak Opening Stage, we expect Cloud9 and Heroic to float through 3:0. Both Eternal Fire and ENCE were contenders for this, but we think inconsistency could see them drop a series. Apeks, TheMongolZ, and FURIA should have enough to take three series overall, and SAW is a bit of a rogue pick in great form right now.
On the 0:3 side, Legacy and ECSTATIC shouldn’t have too much to offer here. Seeing coldzera back with Legacy is great, but we can’t see the team bottom of our PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 power rankings picking up a single series here. It’s the same with ECSTATIC – the Danish team has done well to get to PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, but we’re willing to bet a Diamond coin on them going out early. At least it won’t be a long journey home.
If you followed our guide for the Opening Stage Pick’Ems, you’ll have already secured yourself the Silver coin. We got the 5 required out of the 10, despite a rocky start. For the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Elimination Stage, the rules are the same, with 5/10 correct picks needed to progress that coin.
Follow along with our CS2 Pick’Ems for the Elimination Stage to give yourself the best chance at a Diamond coin (if you’re still in the hunt):

FaZe and Spirit are our 3:0 picks. It’s basic, but as long as these two teams can avoid one another, we expect the two best rosters in the tournament to go through undefeated. Shocker. Vitality, MOUZ, and NAVI could all pull through in this regard, but ultimately we expect all of those teams to slip up along the way while still qualifying.
Once again, we’re betting against ECSTATIC – sorry. They proved us wrong in the Opening Stage, but surely the Elimination Stage has too much quality for them to take a series, even in best-of-ones… right?
Joining them, we think, will be TheMongolZ. After going 0:2 in the Opening Stage, they looked set to bow out early. Their comeback was impressive, but if they continue to show the same level of CS deeper into the competition, they’ll face a quick exit. We got our 0:3s wrong last time out, so let’s see how it shakes out.

Great 3-0 predictions! Thanks a ton!
Are you going to predict the elimination stage too?
cant decide between faze, vitality and spirit to put in as 3-0
You got every f*cking one wrong in the playoffs, you should find a new job.
