CS:GO fans unveil wild predictions for Paris Major’s last RMR qualifier, and one heavyweight has been cursed

All the usual Counter-Strike favorites were torn to shreds in the tipping thread, with underdogs reigning supreme. Players pointed out that, eventually, every dog has its day, and each top-tier team might be on a knife’s edge.

Gamers thought teams like 9INE, Aurora, and FORZE could see their orgs raking in that sticker money, “depending on their matchup luck.” On the other side of that coin, Vitality and NiP were tipped to be facing some disappointment. And, mainly, every fan seemed to be preparing for G2’s fall from grace: CS:GO fans put the curse on them by claiming the world number ones could be one “compromising situation” away from disappointment.

G2 and Astralis, both noteworthy teams, actually did miss the last Major, so it’s no great stretch to imagine they may fall short ahead of CS:GO’s last dance either.

The Counter-Strike scene has been filled with a bucketload of roster moves and substitutes in recent memory. The lack of a strong top dog might even mean every single team can make it to the last CS:GO Major—if they turn up to play.

All we can hope for are some solid matchups and crisp aim.
