Eternal Fire are among the surprise playoff teams at PGL Major Copenhagen; however, they have well and truly earned their spot after dominating FaZe Clan 13-1 and then defeating Virtus.pro to advance to the final stage.
Led by İsmailсan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş and Özgür “woxic” Eker, Eternal Fire have shown they should be regarded as serious contenders for the Major title, and Natus Vincere will have to be playing some of their best Counter-Strike to take them down in this series.
NaVi were on their way to qualifying for the playoff stage with a 3-0 record but went down to Team Spirit and Cloud9 in back-to-back three-map series before eventually defeating paiN Gaming to advance.
Last time they met Eternal Fire, NaVi turned around a 0-1 deficit to claim a 2-1 victory at IEM Katowice 2024, so the squad will come into this series with a lot of confidence.
Esports betting sites have these two very close in the head-to-head market. It is hard to pick a winner based on recent performances, so playing the total maps market looks like the play.

Along with Team Spirit, MOUZ are undoubtedly one of the favourites to claim the Major title after advancing to the playoff stage with a crushing 2-0 victory over Complexity.
Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo (1.50) and Dorian “xertioN” Berman (1.45) sit atop the player ratings for the event, while Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin is ranked fifth. With the roster firing on all cylinders and showing no signs of slowing down, it would be a brave person to write them off in any series in the near future.
To say that G2 Esports are lucky to be in this quarterfinal is no understatement. After losing to Cloud9 and Natus Vincere, G2 scraped past ECSTATIC before beating Virtus.pro in dramatic circumstances after Dzhami “Jame” Ali’s game crashed in a crucial round at the end of the second map, which G2 went onto win.
Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov is singlehandedly carrying G2 at the Major, sitting sixth in the tournament player rankings with a 1.36 rating.
With the round handicap being set at 1.5 rounds, it is hard to go past MOUZ to win the series by two rounds or more.
