In this betting preview, we’re taking a look at some of the best CS2 teams remaining in the competition.
FaZe Clan – Squeaky Clean
This tournament was always the best opportunity for FaZe Clan to improve their confidence, with Spirit, Vitality and Natus Vincere not present at PGL Cluj-Napoca.
Moreover, FaZe Clan has shined in the absence of the big dogs, dominating the Swiss Stage with a flawless 3-0 record over SAW, Eternal Fire and MOUZ. Indeed, now facing SAW once again in the Quarterfinals, they’re favoured to make it to the Semifinals. Moreover, there’s a chance they’ll meet Eternal Fire in the Semifinals, another team which they’ve already beaten.
Bearing this in mind, we consider FaZe Clan one of the favourites competing in the PGL Cluj-Napoca Playoffs.
The MongolZ – An Easy Start?
Considering The MongolZ just finished 3-4th at IEM Katowice 2025, they were portrayed as favourites ahead of PGL Cluj-Napoca. Specifically, this Mongolian roster has been turning heads since placing 5-8th at the Perfect World Shanghai Major.
In the Group Stage, The MongolZ joined FaZe Clan as one of the two flawless teams at the event. However, one could argue that The MongolZ haven’t had to face tough competition, making quick work of Complexity, Wildcard and paiN Gaming.
Facing Astralis in the opening round, The MongolZ is favoured to overpower their first enemy as CS2 betting favourites. Then, they’ll likely have to face paiN or MOUZ, either way they should be favourites.
Overall, we predict The MongolZ to be favourites to end up in the Grand Final against FaZe Clan.
Eternal Fire – A Unique Chance
The third side we’d like to draw some attention to is Eternal Fire. Over the past season, they’ve gathered some promising results:
- 2nd @ BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2
- 2nd @ ESL Pro League Season 20
- 2nd @ BLAST Bounty Spring 2025
In terms of consistency, this team goes from 2nd place finishes to 12-14th. Moreover, they seem to have a weak point with multiple losses to The MongolZ. If they can overcome their rival, they could be looking at a Grand Final opportunity.
Favoured to take down Team Falcons, a match-up against FaZe in the Semifinal could go either way. Although FaZE beat them in the Swiss Stage, Eternal Fire got the better of them at IEM Katowice.
