Prediction for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Cloud9 vs ECSTATIC match which will take place on March 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Major in Denmark will be the leading and severe test for the Russian team of Clouds. The team continues to play without a pronounced sniper, which does not bring dividends this year, except for reaching the Major. Cloud9 players did not make it to the spring finals of the Blast tournament, failing in the last qualifying showdown and losing to the Portuguese. In Katowice, the performance is also not successful, so the roster is on the verge of changes, especially after the success of their former full-time sniper sh1ro, who was kicked, sometimes even unexpectedly.

According to the names, Cloud9 is a formidable team that must at least reach the playoffs of every tier-1 event. The tilt confirms the team, which further obliges the Russians to start confidently. Otherwise, the exit from the so-called play-in stage may be questioned because everyone's motivation is unreal, and every opponent will show. 

The Danish team has a reasonably stable roster. The most recent addition was the current captain, Patti, who joined from the Astralis Talent Academy in July of last year. Players Kraghen and Queenix are long-lived and have been on the roster since the summer of 2022. They have experienced many wins and losses with ECSTATIC.

The Danish team's extreme success is their passage to the RMR, overcoming the open and closed qualifiers and the vice-championship in the European Pro League Season 13, where the Danes lost in the final to Preasy Esport 2:3. Not everything worked out for the young Danes at the RMR. However, we will still see this team at the home championship. The Danes are a dark horse that can surprise, especially in BO1 matches.

According to bookmakers, the Russian team is a clear favorite, but you should not count on an easy game for Cloud9. Here, we will most likely observe an equal confrontation.
