✅OMEGA
✅2007 (Just Players)
✅KOLESIE
✅VRSDelivery (Oramond)
Round of 16 Still To Be Played:
OMEGA
OMEGA produced arguably the biggest upset of the tournament by eliminating ex-RUBY 2-1. Despite entering the event as one of the lowest-ranked playoff teams, they topped Group B before taking down a roster ranked significantly higher than them.
The standout performer was adai, who posted a 1.16 rating across the series.
2007 (Just Players)
The former Just Players lineup continues its impressive run. After winning Group C, they eliminated Acend 2-0, winning both Dust2 and Overpass 13-11.
spirit led the way with a 1.23 rating and remains one of the hottest players in the tournament.
KOLESIE
KOLESIE may no longer qualify as a dark horse. Their 2-0 victory over GenOne was one of the most convincing playoff performances so far.
ex1st posted a 1.30 rating while KOLESIE controlled both Dust2 and Ancient.
VRSDelivery (Oramond)
After surviving Group D through the decider match, VRSDelivery continued their momentum by defeating Johnny Speeds 2-1.
The Polish squad dominated Mirage and Dust2 while AntyVirus, Brylu, and fanatyk all delivered strong performances.
Pick: TDK
This is still one of the safest selections available.
TDK's roster features elite experience through Ax1Le, nafany, and ArtFr0st. While TNC completed an impressive lower-bracket run through Group C, the gap in individual firepower is difficult to ignore.
Prediction: TDK 2-0
Confidence: ★★★★★
Pick: OG
OG remain the strongest roster left in the tournament on paper.
cadiaN, bodyy, adamb, spooke, and new addition pr1metapz should have enough quality to overcome EA Copenhagen.
Prediction: OG 2-0
Confidence: ★★★★★
Pick: Apogee Esports
This is the closest remaining Round of 16 matchup.
ALGO have already proven themselves through the group stage, but Apogee's firepower led by hades gives them the edge.
Prediction: Apogee 2-1
Confidence: ★★★☆☆
Pick: CYBERSHOKE
HYPERSPIRIT won Group D, but CYBERSHOKE remain one of the highest-rated teams in the entire tournament.
Their superior map pool and overall experience make them favorites.
Prediction: CYBERSHOKE 2-0
Confidence: ★★★★☆
Assuming the favorites advance:
TDK vs OMEGA
Pick: TDK
OMEGA have already exceeded expectations, but TDK possess significantly more firepower.
OG vs 2007
Pick: OG
2007 have been excellent, but this would be their toughest opponent by far.
Apogee vs KOLESIE
Pick: KOLESIE
This is the upset pick. KOLESIE are in outstanding form after dismantling GenOne.
CYBERSHOKE vs VRSDelivery
Pick: CYBERSHOKE
VRSDelivery's run has been impressive, but CYBERSHOKE should have the higher ceiling.
✅ TDK ✅ OG ✅ KOLESIE ✅ CYBERSHOKE
🥇 OG
Why OG Still Lead the Field:
OG 2-1 TDK
If you're looking for a team that can outperform expectations and earn extra Pick'em points, KOLESIE are currently the best value selection. They have already eliminated GenOne, own wins over several quality European teams this season, and look capable of reaching at least the semifinals.
