It’s that time of the year again – the next CS2 Major is here, and Valve has officially launched the in-game Pick’Ems for the PW Shanghai Major 2024. We’re on the hunt for that Diamond coin – follow along for the best CS2 Pick’Ems around.
Full disclosure – at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, we only managed to secure a Gold coin, so follow at your own risk. We made the mistake of backing Team Spirit in the Playoffs last time, but let’s be real – who predicted NAVI to win the Major at that point in time?

To take your CS2 Pick’Ems to the next level, why not take advantage of BC.Game’s Shanghai Major promo now for the chance to win free bets, too?
That’s more like it! After falling short in the Opening Stage, we managed to pull it back in the Elimination Stage with seven correct picks. It won’t secure the Diamond coin, but we’re back on the right track. Now, it’s time for the Playoffs – probably the hardest stage of all, especially given the bracket this time around. There’s potential for serious upsets here.
For our picks, we’re going for G2 to win the whole thing. It’s risky, but what isn’t at this stage? If they can get past Vitality or FaZe in the Semi-Finals, they should be primed to make a deep run. For the first matches, we’re also taking a punt on The MongolZ, but if it doesn’t work out, we’re confident that the rest of the picks should make it beyond this stage, with a G2 vs. Spirit final no matter what. They’re not necessarily the favorites according to the CS2 Shanghai Major odds, but it’s what we’re going with.
Well, we messed up the Opening Stage, missing out by just a single pick. Who was I to know that Fnatic could mess up against Rare Atom that badly? Regardless, we go again, and the hunt to salvage a gold coin is now on. We’re going back to basics with these picks. Best two teams at the top, worst at the bottom, and all the good teams sitting pretty in the middle.
We cooked a little too hard in the last stage, which is why we’re taking a more cautious approach this time around. Let’s go get gold!
So far, the Opening Stage is the only available stage for your CS2 Pick’Ems right now. As we progress further into the PW Shanghai Major 2024, you’ll have the opportunity to stake your claim in the Elimination Stage and Playoffs. For now, you have to keep yourself in the running for the Diamond coin by making at least 5/10 correct picks in the Opening Stage.
Here are our CS2 Pick’Ems for the Opening Stage:
Virtus.pro and Liquid are risky 3:0 picks, but we’ve got our fingers crossed. We think Cloud9, Complexity, The MongolZ and paiN are all good to qualify while losing at least one game though. Down in the 0:3 picks, Rare Atom should be safe, but Passion UA could surprise in the best-of-ones. We rate FlyQuest, Imperial, and Wildcard higher than them, though.
The next stage of the CS2 Pick’Ems usually unlocks a few hours after the matches finish. This allows Valve the necessary time to input the results, while also giving players ample time to select their Pick’Ems for the next stage.
Just remember to do your CS2 Pick’Ems for future stages. It would be irritating to actually guess the picks correctly and forget to input them in-game. We’ll keep this article updated whenever the new set of Pick’Ems go live with our predictions – let’s just hope we get them right.
