Group Stage:<\/strong><\/p>\n Playoffs:<\/strong><\/p>\n All of them played before at BLAST Spring Groups just a few days ago, and we could see their form and what shape they’re in now.<\/p>\n Being the number-ranking team in the world did look shaky, but maybe they just had to wake up. We must see it here if they bring their A-Game back and win another tournament. They will still go here as the main favorite, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n It was unexpected of them to destroy their group even though they were one of the favorites, but it seems like they found their perfect way to play, and as of now, they’re real contenders to win this tournament since other teams are looking a bit off.<\/p>\n They could have shown more consistency and were on the edge of failing at BLAST Spring Groups. Losing their player ‘jKs’ still seems to hurt. They must find consistency and a new playstyle and fix their map pool with ‘nexa’\u0099 instead of ‘jKs’.<\/p>\n They didn’t wake up at first and lost to an underdog, but later, they won their group, and the beast awakened and showed us that they were still dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n These days, after many roster changes, we can only expect these four teams to win a tournament.<\/p>\n The rest of the teams are yet to show what they’re capable of, and it would be good for Counter-Strike 2 to see a new squad shine to the top!<\/p>\n The first matches start on February 3 at 13:30 CET time.
