Predictions

Cloud9 have been showing decent performances throughout the 2024 season. Despite the roster changes, they have managed to stay among the top five in the Americas region. In Stage 1, the team registered five wins and a loss. However, Stage 2 has seen them struggle a bit as they have only won a single match.

KRÜ Esports, on the other hand, started out as one of the strongest teams in Stage 1. They had a record of five wins with one loss and just barely missed out on qualifying for VCT Masters Shanghai. Like Cloud9, KRÜ has also been struggling in Stage 2 as they have no wins and three losses so far.
