Eternal Fire are now guaranteed a spot in the ESL Pro League Season 20 playoffs, but they can still book a direct invite to the quarterfinals. However, this will be easier said than done.
Eternal Fire have had a relatively easy road to this stage, with victories against FlyQuest and Sangal Esports. They were dominant in both victories, however, so it is fair to assume they are ready to take a step up.
Natus Vincere are the highest-ranked Counter-Strike team in the world, but their performances in this tournament have been lacklustre despite playing weaker opponents in Lynn Vision and Ninjas in Pyjamas. If this continues, NaVi should not have an easy time beating Eternal Fire either.

MiBR left a huge statement on Thursday when they reverse-swept Team Spirit in three maps, having previously edged past 9z Team. However, two strong results in a long line of shaky displays do not prove much, so it is not wrong to doubt the Brazilians in this matchup.
G2 Esports, like most other top-rated teams, have not had the strongest start to ESL Pro League Season 20. They dropped 17 rounds against KOI and needed a reverse sweep to surpass 3DMAX. Still, this same roster won BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024 and placed second at the Esports World Cup 2024.
MiBR have exceeded expectations this tournament, but it is fair to say it was nothing more than a fluke. Barring any surprises, G2 Esports are a solid bet to sweep at the odds offered by top Counter-Strike betting sites.
