PAIN GAMING vs MOUZ CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\npaiN $2.10 at Betway<\/a> | MOUZ $1.66 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

PaiN Gaming have been solid throughout PGL Cluj-Napoca, only losing to The MongolZ in their first promotion match of the Swiss Stage. The Brazilian organisation defeated two playoff teams in Team Falcons and Astralis, and if they keep up their Swiss Stage form, paiN can easily make the final four.<\/p>\n

MOUZ have experienced a rollercoaster ride in the Swiss Stage, winning their first two series before losing the next two and scraping past Virtus.pro on the final day. With the addition of Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, the European squad are still working things out, which has led to their inconsistent showings.<\/p>\n

It is hard to bet against paiN Gaming based on the form of both rosters, and the $2.10 on offer with GG Bet<\/a> is great value.<\/p>\n

THE MONGOLZ vs ASTRALIS CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nMongolZ $1.40 at William Hill<\/a> | Astralis $2.75 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nFebruary 21, 2025 | 13:00 EET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch (https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/pgl)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The MongolZ have continued their strong form of late in the Swiss Stage, claiming three consecutive victories against Complexity, Wildcard, and paiN Gaming. The Mongolian squad entered PGL Cluj-Napoca as the equal second favourite with esports betting sites<\/a>, and they have yet to show any signs that they do not deserve to be among the title contenders.<\/p>\n

With Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz and Casper “cadiaN” M\u00f8ller leading the way, Astralis have the experience to do some damage in the playoffs. The Danish roster dominated BIG to book their place in the playoffs by playing their calm and calculated style of Counter-Strike.<\/p>\n

This clash will feature two teams that play opposite styles, with The MongolZ preferring a fast, high-tempo approach and Astralis favouring a slow, methodical game. Expect a thrilling three-map series.<\/p>\n

TEAM FALCONS vs ETERNAL FIRE CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nFalcons $2.37 at GG Bet<\/a> | EF $1.53 at Betway<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nFebruary 21, 2025 | 16:00 EET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nTwitch (https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/pgl)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Team Falcons and Eternal Fire will clash for the third time in 2025, with Falcons seeking their first victory against their Turkish opponents.<\/p>\n

Falcons secured their spot in the playoffs with a 3-1 record, and even though they lost only one series, it is hard to get excited about a squad that relies too heavily on Nikola “NiKo” Kova\u010d to perform every time they step onto the server.<\/p>\n

Eternal Fire entered PGL Cluj-Napoca<\/a> as second favourites, but they have not been as impressive as the odds suggested pre-tournament. However, \u0130smail\u0441an “XANTARES” D\u00f6rtkarde\u015f and co. have drawn a favourable matchup in the quarterfinals, and a third straight win against Falcons is on the cards.<\/p>\n

FAZE CLAN vs SAW CS2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nFaZe $1.11 at GG Bet<\/a> | SAW $6.00 at William Hill<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

FaZe Clan have proven that they are the class team at PGL Cluj-Napoca, justifying their favourite tag with a dominant 3-0 record in the Swiss Stage. Their most impressive showing came against SAW, when they secured a 2-0 series win (13-2 on Ancient and 13-11 on Nuke) to kick off their campaign.<\/p>\n

SAW qualified for the playoffs the hard way, dropping their first two matches against FaZe and Astralis before rattling off three straight wins over FlyQuest, Complexity, and 3DMAX. Although they bring strong form into this quarterfinal clash, it is hard to see them flipping the result against FaZe from a week ago.<\/p>\n
