The highly anticipated Esports World Cup 2024 CS2 Semi-Finals have arrived, with only four teams left vying for victory on the server. The star-studded lineup includes MOUZ, NAVI, G2, and Virtus.pro battling it out for a chance to claim the lion’s share of the massive cash prize and earn bragging rights in Riyadh.
Following our Quarter-Finals EWC 2024 preview, we did anticipate an upset – albeit incorrectly. Can we improve our predictions this time around? Let’s delve into the matchups for the Semi-Finals of the EWC 2024.

MOUZ may consider themselves fortunate to reach the Semi-Finals of the Esports World Cup 2024. While their performances have been underwhelming compared to their usual standards, they have managed to advance to this stage, showcasing their quality as a team.
On the other hand, NAVI presents a formidable challenge. With a dominant victory over FaZe Clan in a 2:0 series, they enter the Semi-Finals with confidence. It is likely that MOUZ’s struggles will hinder their performance against NAVI, paving the way for NAVI to secure a spot in the Grand Final.
Our prediction: NAVI 2:0 MOUZ
G2 vs. Virtus.pro

G2 facing Virtus.pro marks the return of IGL Snax to confront the team where he made his mark in the competitive CS scene. With Snax leading G2, the team aims to secure a spot in the Grand Final in his debut tournament with the roster. However, standing in their way is Virtus.pro, who have proven to be a formidable opponent throughout the Esports World Cup 2024.
We have a strong belief in G2’s potential in this event. The team exudes an undeniable aura reminiscent of GStew at IEM Dallas 2024. Despite the underestimation of players like NiKo and m0NESY, we predict G2 will prevail over Virtus.pro, a feat that eluded teams like Complexity and Vitality in the EWC 2024. Nevertheless, the match is expected to be closely contested.
Our prediction: G2 2:1 Virtus.pro
