Stacked PGL Major playoffs bracket set

24-3-2024 21:38

One of the most stacked Major playoffs brackets of all time awaits the Royal Arena.

The playoffs bracket for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen has been set following the conclusion of day four of the Elimination Stage, which saw FaZe, G2, and Natus Vincere become the last three teams to qualify.

A stacked playoffs roster featuring teams ranked #1 through #6, #9 and #13 as per HLTV's ranking awaits the Royal Arena, where the champions of the first Counter-Strike 2 roster will be crowned from Thursday to Sunday.

The top side of the bracket will be played on Thursday and features all three of the world's top three teams. In a rematch from the IEM Katowice grand final, FaZe are set to take on Spirit for a mouth-watering highlight bout of the quarter-finals between the #1 and #2 team in the world, with Vitality vs. Cloud9 set to play out on the same side.

MOUZ, who came away with the second seed after going undefeated in the Elimination Stage, will go up against G2 on the other side on Friday in another matchup between the world's top-five sides.

The final pairing is Natus Vincere vs. Eternal Fire, another rematch from IEM Katowice, in which NAVI prevailed 2-1 to eliminate the Turkish side from the groups at the beginning of February.

The schedule looks as follows:

Date	Matches
PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024
28/03/2024	Cloud9 17:00 Vitality	Match
28/03/2024	Spirit 19:55 FaZe	Match
29/03/2024	Eternal Fire 17:00 Natus Vincere	Match
29/03/2024	MOUZ 20:20 G2	Match

Navi and g2 free ticket to semifinal, and if they face eachother this mean free ticket to final, what a joke of a seeds

I'd rather have VP over g2 but oh well. NAVI I'm honestly fine with, not like falcons, heroic or ence would have been better

2024-03-25 00:45

How does g2 have a free ticket to SF lol dumbass More like a ticket to de_airport

Idk about a free ticket, but mouz hasn't really proved themselves on the largest stages

True, they managed to win 2 out of 3 biggest tournaments with midks, now with nexa, who's much better, they can finally win a major

Lul Nexa is absolute trash. They can't beat mouz. Monesy can't carry 1v5 when Niko will again be absent

2024-03-25 13:05

Debatable, highly debatable and not true imo

2024-03-25 14:33

2 replies

whatever, we'll see in 4 days, but I unironically think they'll beat mouz, and if I were to give odds I'd say 80/20 for G2

2024-03-25 14:38

1 reply

Yeah im not 100% sure either but i think it is the opposite 80/20 for mouz

2024-03-25 14:40

How about you watch a fucking G2 match first before you start waffling? This is such an idiotic post looking at how G2 is performing at the major so far.

2024-03-25 14:47

how are they performing? Great? I thought making playoffs of the major after missing last two is supposed to be good? Am I wrong?

2024-03-25 14:49

Bro g2 played like shit in the elimination stage. Niko doesn'tlook good right now...sadly

2024-03-25 11:12

?? Mouz diffs G2 who wouldnt even be in playoffs if not for jame's game crashing

no facts in this statement

This is pure delusion, mouz showed better team work and performance

3 replies

im talking about G2 not being in playoffs if Jame didnt crash

2024-03-25 14:48

Idk if it changed the outcome completely but that crash had a lot of impact, they even said without a kill they would have saved there. The kill for crash 100% gave them the chance to fight back when it wasnt a 100% win round if crash didnt happen

2024-03-25 14:51

But could have happened to g2 also

Mouz will probably stomp g2 if both play anything similar to the earlier stages.

2024-03-25 08:14

Excuse me, free ticket? Are you off your meds? did you miss all the mouz games recently? Mouz are the only team to have beaten spirit and their form is fantastic G2 can win but they are the are not favorites. NiKo's recent form is bad and so is hunters. They are G2s star riflers they are needed to win.

2024-03-25 11:17

unlike you, I understand top level cs, and I can tell you that mouz have no chance of winning

lets see

0 cs watch time right here

2024-03-25 12:18

are you talking about yourself?

2024-03-25 12:58

You said nexa is better than jks when he is not performing well as jks did when they won kato and cologne mate

2024-03-25 14:34

you can look at different angles, but the truth is: they got to major playoffs(undeservingly) with nexa, which they couldn't do twice with jks

2024-03-25 14:44

That isnt a proof of nexa doing a better job than jks, in swiss stage g2 got pushed into playoffs by great individual performances. Thats why i say mouz will win cuz individually they are good and they also have better teamwork right now

2024-03-25 14:50

I am a massive G2 fan and even I'm not this delusional. craziest dunning kruger I've ever seen.

2024-03-25 17:44

result would settle our dispute. But will you apologize, when G2 triumphally wins this friday

2024-03-25 18:26

If they win it will be painfully close.

2024-03-25 20:56

I guess I owe you an apology.

2024-03-30 18:38

2024-03-30 20:52

You mean free for mouz, right?

2024-03-25 09:32

What you smoke that good?

2024-03-29 22:15

Bro bookmarked this to remember lul. Mouz didnt show up on stage unluko. But be careful with these kind of replies, game isnt over yet ;)

2024-03-29 22:21

What did you smoke bro? MOUZ are so much better right now.

2024-03-25 11:15

Yeah?

They were better in previous stage but obviously decided to shit themselves when things got serious. WP by G2

2024-03-29 23:25

who were in paris (playoffs)?

2024-03-25 08:03

vitality, faze, heroic, monte, apeks, liquid, into the breach, gamerlegion

2024-03-25 13:29

Banger

navi champions, lets go!

only if they sub s1mple for iM.

2024-03-24 22:29

Yeah after getting clapped by 2 teams

2024-03-24 23:12

Everybody gangsta till iM has a positive kd map

2024-03-25 02:55

It means the other team play like shit not that navi play good

2024-03-25 05:28

Bracket set, give us fantasy

2024-03-24 21:39

xantares wins it all unfortunately

This is the way

2024-03-25 20:45

faze cooked

SICKEST LINEUP EVER LES F GOOO

spirit ez donk 3 mvp

2024-03-24 21:40

sick bracket I have no idea who can win it and this time my pickem is alive

2024-03-24 21:41

I think you guys made an error, virtus pro beat g2?

2024-03-24 21:42

top bracket is quite stacked indeed

2024-03-24 21:44

Wouldve been the strongest ever if VP had been here.

2024-03-24 21:46

G2 > VP. You don't want to see top3 player in the world and NiKo at the arena? What top players do VP have? They have good players but come on, would've been an upset had they actually beat G2

You dont watch CS. I do.

2024-03-24 21:48

personally, i don't want to see niko period but that's irrelevant

2024-03-24 21:52

G2 is flashy and has known "western"-type famous names the way hollywood movies have more fame than great international projects, but that doens't make them better. This comp seems reasonable since VP rarely have any relevant media going their way (at their owns' fault though ofc). Me personally, I turned into a big VP fan this tournament. I love how they played and I think they are more consistent and stronger mentally, more cohesive as a unit than G2. Just cus G2 won against VP doens't mean they will fare better vs Mouz. While I could see a lucky run from VP to win the final, I can't see G2 winning any major.

2024-03-24 22:16

G2 is so bad - Monesy caring them through all of this - one bad day from Monesy and they are done.

2024-03-24 23:33

Virtus Pro have norbert, the star with more Major wins that all the G2 players combined. He should have been up there.

2024-03-25 06:01

Got enough of them Russian teams with Spirit and Cloud9. Rather have G2 over VP there quite frankly.

2024-03-24 22:07

Think it's anyones game. Even EF can upset. For once it feels like we have a real list of Top8 and no upset teams. Gonna be fun!

Well which one is it? EF upset or no upset teams?

2024-03-24 22:39

Let's say they are truly the top8 teams in world as of right now. Let's also say that EF is ranked 8 in this scenario. Wouldn't it be an upset if EF was to win it all ? Yet they're not an upset team like Apeks/ITB/monte from last year.

2024-03-24 23:37

its been a long time since we've had a decent playoff bracket for the major looks nice.

G2 bracket is as lucky as they are today. You know if they can win mouz, thats a high possibility they reach a final stage and outside of spirit, they still have a chance to fluke this major. Hooxi doesnt deserved this playoff!!!!!!!

They are not beating mouz lol

2024-03-25 04:16

Thats why i said, if. I mean g2's run on this major is already a fluke and it might continue

2024-03-25 04:54

nah you can count on navi to drop them

2024-03-25 12:30

Amazing play-offs , no fluke teams, insane. glglglglglgl ,may the best win

Feeling worried for FaZe!! :'(

2024-03-24 21:49

feeling worried for Spirit tbh. Usually rematches like that end with loser of match A winning the match B. I do hope faze'd get another beating though

2024-03-24 21:54

They won against faze two times, faze couldnt even get a map in

2024-03-24 22:02

In all previous (6) PRO CS2 Tournaments FaZe made Grand Final every time, spirit just once... See difference? Spirit so far one tournament miracle, like Gambit Major win

2024-03-24 23:53

flair doesnt check out spirit are in the best form right now, "one tournament miracle" doesnt mean shit about form

2024-03-24 23:56

Learn how to talk to a girl...

2024-03-25 00:52

y? Will it make spirit better than they are atm? You sound like you offended on his behalf

2024-03-25 02:20

Timothy 2:12 in bible.

2024-03-25 02:24

You are not a "girl" look at the url of the site youre on bro

2024-03-25 02:36

Lol wtf. Hode everywhereeeee

2024-03-25 04:51

2 actually

2024-03-25 02:19

MOUZ 2:0 Garbage2

2024-03-24 21:51

MOUZ 26-0

2024-03-26 11:35

aaw, i was so looking forward to see c9-spirit finals... oh well, you can't have everything

fuuuck i wanted faze spirit finals....

2024-03-24 21:56

I hope Mouz destroy G2 for that VP nonsense, G2 don’t deserve to be here. LETS GO JIMI AND BROLLAN!!!

See g2 destroy mouz and then choke grandfinal

2024-03-24 22:20

finally a good major playoffs unlike mickey mouse rio and paris

Honestly, you can't ask for mucb more than that, in terma of teams. If we look at their performance, perhaps only VP instead of NAVI would make it more competitive, but not by much. Absolute cinema this will be, I hope to see everyone with their A game, especially Zywoo and iM, and this may be the best way to start of the story of CS2 (hopefully no game changing crashes like today though)

iM? This bot is done

2024-03-24 22:19

winner of faze vs spirit wins, unless mouz look devastating in playoffs

2024-03-24 21:58

zywoo probably not sick by the time the quarters begin

2024-03-24 23:31

Final bo3, mr13 cringe

2024-03-24 22:01

2024-03-25 01:58

Donk gonna make history without dropping a map :)

they did drop a map, against the team that actually once won the whole thing without dropping a map

2024-03-24 22:26

Faze did it earlier mate on antwerp

2024-03-25 04:57

they lost one map to NIP

2024-03-25 05:45

Then Na'Vi in Stockholm? I am too lazy to check.

2024-03-25 06:08

yep navi was unbeatan

2024-03-25 07:43

vitality in paris also no maps dropped!

2024-03-25 08:04

Considering the opposition xD

2024-03-25 20:11

Spirit faze straight away man

hardest diamond coin ever, not just because of harder format but what a tough playoff bracket.

so hyped!!! eternal fire gonna win the major. MARK MY WORDS

2024-03-24 22:03

greece not supposed to root for them mens

2024-03-24 22:09

2024-03-24 23:00

Phew some banger matchups. Gonna be intense man

2024-03-24 22:04

Stacked lol

2024-03-24 22:05

Finally not a Mickey mouse major

only 2 teams are consistant thats not called stacked to me

Ez4Navi

go go chopa go go donk!

2024-03-24 22:12

Where are those who were saying during blast major that there is no gap between t2 and t1 anymore. XD

2024-03-24 22:18

I mean if there's ever been a time where any team can beat any other team it's now. Only Spirit look significantly above the others from all teams that qualified to the playoffs. Then you got CoL, VP, even paiN who came close. Ofc you can still define a t1/t2 separation, but I feel like the t1 hasn't been that large in a long time.

2024-03-24 22:32

Agree. But t1 almost all the same teams.

2024-03-25 03:54

Tbf on paris, rosters aren5 like now. Many things changed

2024-03-25 04:59

turkish major

good luck EF 🥹

2024-03-24 22:33

I think EF might take it. Also C9 over Vitality. We gotta remember this is a stage with crowd so some teams might show completely different side of them

2024-03-24 22:38

rip pickems

MOUZ all the way, let's go!

2024-03-24 22:42

Why is the grand final not a bo5?

2024-03-24 22:54

Gl Mouz

2024-03-24 23:06

looks good

2024-03-24 23:23

mouz spirit finals probably, i hope mouz wins but i expect a spirit 2-1

2024-03-24 23:26

mouz v spirit banger academy final

2024-03-24 23:44

Spirit Major!!!!

2024-03-24 23:49

mouz spirit finals for sure donk 1.87

2024-03-25 00:11

G2 robbing their way to playoffs and getting an easy road to final, 100% rigged so N*ko gets a major

2024-03-25 00:15

Mouz is easy road? Most intelligent Zywoo fan

2024-03-25 01:36

mouz is one of the favourites and g2 plays them first. +they have to get past spirit who is n1 team. if g2 makes it to finals and win they beat one of the best teams which would be deserved major

2024-03-25 02:15

>mouz is one of the favourites AXAXAXAXXAXAXAXAXAXA nice joke

2024-03-25 11:00

When you consider the Top 1, 2 and 3 are on the other side, yeah mouz is definitely the easy side

2024-03-25 12:11

Have you tried logical thinking?

2024-03-25 13:27

I love how you bring nothing to the debate at all and still think you are the smart one

2024-03-25 15:30

No chance for g2 vs mouz

2024-03-25 01:44

best playoffs in years

2024-03-25 00:23

Interesting matchups ★

Rooting for donk

2024-03-25 02:06

I am 90% sure donk puts up another masterclass like katowice and wins his first major right after winning katowice = instant goat status

2024-03-25 02:17

If we follow Team and player stats it could be a Spirit vs Mouz final but who knows

2024-03-25 02:59

Bye bye EF ! Spirit vs Vitality Final => Spirit wins !

2024-03-25 03:03

Sad to say but vitality has it in their pockets, semis gonna be hard but final is so free for them

Literally the only thing missing is s1mple in terms of a dream event of prime players, but this will also do. Crazy line-up of talent.

2024-03-25 04:44

Dev1ce…

Opinions on the best match/series of the Major Opening Stage to rewatch? Unfortunately I don't have time to go through them all, and they're all played in opposite time zone :<

2024-03-25 05:06

NaVi - Spirit for actually good cs from both teams, the whole bo3 is great, best overall level of play probably so far paiN - Mongolz (whole bo3 or just inferno) for the lulz and drama Spirit - Imperial, EF - FaZe, mouz - coL for good cs from one team only and absolute annihilations

2024-03-25 06:28

2024-03-25 10:10

One side seems a little bit stronger than the other lol

ez for XANTAGODD

2024-03-25 05:21

Spirit vs MOUZ in the final?

2024-03-25 05:57

I do favor Spirit to win, with only MOUZ of all teams that could stop them in the final.

2024-03-28 11:44

c9 vs vitality > c9 Spirit vs faze > spirit (close match. Faze should win.) Mouz vs g2 > mouz Ef vs navi > ef C9 vs spirit > c9 Mouz vs ef > ef C9 vs ef > ??? Hope to win the best challenger.

2024-03-25 06:40

0 teams from the Americas, beatiful.

2024-03-25 07:54

somehow after really good qual stage mouz will turn bots like they always do

2024-03-25 08:27

+1 Hesitant to go for them in my fantasy. They did so goddamn well, but knowing Niko and Monesy to carry 2v8..

2024-03-25 08:30

Mouz beat G2 Other matches are totally unpredictable

2024-03-25 08:53

Finally we had good legends stage seeding and somehow tier1 teams are the best when they don't have to play each other over and over again for elimination.

2024-03-25 12:43
