The opening stage of the major in Denmark is going well for the Russian team, who were able to overcome the BO1 stages of the matches with two out of two wins. This allows the C9 players to play as many as three times for a slot in the main stage of the tournament. The Portuguese have not beaten Cloud9 for a long time, but it is worth realizing that Boombl4 and Co have gained confidence through their opening wins, although it is clear to everyone that this encounter will be extremely difficult for Cloud9.

Major in Denmark will be the main and serious test for the Russian roster of Cloud9. The team continues to perform without a pronounced sniper, and this does not bring dividends for the team this year unless we count the appearance at the major. C9 players didn't make it to the spring finals of the Blast tournament, having failed in the last qualifying Showdown, losing to the Portuguese from SAW. At Katowice, the performance is not good either, so the roster is on the verge of changes, especially after the success of their former staff sniper sh1ro, who was kicked out, somewhere even unexpectedly.

By names Cloud9 is a formidable squad, which must go at least in the playoffs of any tier-1 event, but more and more often we see a picture when the team just stuck with the opponents, who should not even impose them to fight. The team should start confidently. Otherwise, the exit from the so-called play-in stage may be in question because everyone's motivation is unreal, and each opponent will show their maximum.

SAW is showing significant progress and is on the rise, which allowed them to make it to the first-ever major, and their streak of consecutive match wins has already reached 11. This Portuguese team has long attracted the attention of fans of the tier-1 stage only, occasionally participating in major tournaments and leagues but rarely achieving significant success. At the beginning of the year, SAW managed to win several important matches at the RMR qualification tournaments, thanks to which they made their way to the main tournament of the year - the Major. The Portuguese also qualified for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, where they beat even C9.

At the qualifiers for the majors, SAW showed their best potential. Players such as ewjerkz and arrozdoce performed well, entering the top 10 of the individual rankings. The whole team showed a high level of play and none of the players had negative stats. The starting day of the major itself showed that the Portuguese continued to surprise and were already one step away from the main stage.

The last match SAW vs C9 showed that the Portuguese can beat the Russians, but the game at the Major will be a much higher priority and therefore three tight cards await us.
