Heroic vs Lynn Vision Prediction: Easy Start for the Heroes

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

Heroic has reformed the CS2 lineup following the tragedy involving stavn, jabbi, and cadiaN. The team is now under the guidance of former ENCE mentor, sAw. The current roster comprises TeSeS, sjuush, kyxsan, nicodooz, and NertZ. While this lineup may not have the same level of star power as the previous one, the organization has yet to see their former level of success. It is unclear why Heroic has become a CS2 team at this time.

The start of 2024 has been a rough one for nicodooz. His performance has been inconsistent, with good matches followed by complete failures. The success of the Heroic team now depends on the performance of TeSeS, sjuush, and NertZ, who was named the best rookie of the year by HLTV in 2023 and had the highest rating in the last three months at 1.15. Heroic has returned to the top 15 on the HLTV Team Leaderboard due to playing against lower-level opponents. The BLAST group stage proved to be a complete failure for the team. During IEM Katowice 2024, they encountered great difficulties against G2 Esports. At RMR, they lost to all the top teams and only advanced due to matches against Astralis, GamerLegion, and Preasy - none of which have achieved significant success recently. The Heroes are struggling in the map pool. Mirage and Ancient have win rates exceeding 70%, while Inferno is being ignored. On other maps, the success rate varies from 45% to 55%, which does not guarantee victory in a single series.

Heroic will not play against the strongest opponent in the first match at RMR, but since the team is still inexperienced, it may surprise unpleasantly. However, NertZ qualified for IEM Dallas 2024 before the major. Therefore, they will arrive in Copenhagen in a good mood.

The Chinese team qualified for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 through the Asian RMR. Although there have been some strong teams like The MongolZ, there are no indications that Asian teams are ready to compete equally with teams from Europe and America. Is Lynn Vision an exception to this rule?

On the contrary, it is another confirmation. Lynn Vision's lackluster performance at the CS Asia Championship 2023 was evident in their losses to Astralis and MOUZ. Despite their high win rate in regional Asian online tournaments and qualifications, they consistently struggle against Mongolian teams in championship matches. Lynn Vision occasionally participates in tier-1 tournaments but typically only plays two games before being eliminated.

Playing in a major is an excellent opportunity for the Chinese to experience CS2. Lynn Vision is unlikely to win a map in the Challengers stage.

Bookmakers are optimistic about Lynn Vision's potential and give favorable odds for the Chinese team's victory. It is difficult to doubt Heroic's success, and Lynn Vision will likely score many rounds in BO1.
