Prediction for the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Team Spirit vs Cloud9 match which will take place on March 21st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Spirit will start this Major as one of the main tournament favorites. The Dragons started the year exceptionally well, winning the IEM Katowice 2024 and advancing to the BLAST Premier Spring Finals.

For a team that has only been together for six months, winning IEM Katowice is an incredible achievement. On their way to the most prestigious trophy in Poland, the Spirit players lost only one map - Anubis in a group-stage match against Natus Vincere. The Dragons also defeated Falcons, Complexity, and FaZe on their way to the trophy.

Young talent Donk was the most outstanding player of the tournament. According to HLTV, the 17-year-old, who helped Spirit win the Katowice championship, scored a 1.93 rating in the final. It was an incredible performance that earned him the MVP award. Now, the best debutant in Katowice's history has only one goal - to win an outright and make history again. The Dragons have passed the open stage of the Major and are starting directly from the main stage, and although BO1 is roulette, Team Spirit looks more reliable than Cloud9.

The opening stage of the Major in Denmark went well for the Russian team, who were able to get through the BO1 stage with two wins out of two and in the first BO3 series to secure their place in the main stage of the Major, calmly outplaying the Portuguese from SAW. It's worth noting that the Portuguese haven't beaten Cloud9 in a while, but it's worth noting that Boombl4 and co have gained confidence from their opening wins, which is crucial for the entire Cloud9 roster.

The Major in Denmark will be a significant and severe test for the Russian Cloud9 roster. The team continues to operate without a pronounced sniper, which has not paid dividends for the team this year, apart from the appearance at the Major. The C9 players didn't make it to the spring finals of the Blast tournament after failing in the final qualifying showdown, losing to SAW's Portuguese team. Their performance in Katowice was not good either, so the roster is on the verge of change, especially after the success of their former staff sniper sh1ro, who was unexpectedly kicked out somewhere.

A CIS derby is always a big deal, especially when the two opposing teams are the flagships of the Eastern European CS scene. Major, the best players from Russia and the CIS, two popular brands - the signs for the first round couldn't be better. But everyone knows that the Dragons are the favorites in this match.
