Following the gripping Esports World Cup 2024 Semi-Finals, both G2 and NAVI have showcased their prowess in unique ways. G2’s impressive triumph over Virtus.pro demonstrated their full potential, whereas NAVI’s resilient comeback against MOUZ displayed their mental fortitude. This makes predicting the outcome all the more challenging.
Delving into the two lineups, it’s evident that their star AWPers shine brightest. Both m0NESY and w0nderful possess the ability to single-handedly turn the tide of CS2 matches, with m0NESY currently standing out as the top CS2 player worldwide. Nonetheless, w0nderful’s impact cannot be underestimated, making this clash unpredictable.

Another pivotal element will be the contribution of supporting players around the star AWPers. NAVI will rely on b1t and iM to make an impact from challenging positions, while G2 will look to malbsMd and huNter- for a similar impact. Although both teams boast star riflers in jL and NiKo, the supporting cast may tip the balance in this closely fought encounter. Here, G2’s firepower seems to hold an edge.
Ultimately, we foresee G2 emerging as the potential champions of the Esports World Cup 2024 CS2 tournament. Comparisons to GStew’s dominance at IEM Dallas reinforce our belief in G2’s supremacy. Tomorrow’s match could mark a triumphant return for Snax, clinching his first Tier 1 tournament victory since ESL One New York 2018.
Our prediction: G2 2:1 NAVI
