Tedd believes Stage 3 will be the first phase of the Major where the overall level of Counter-Strike truly reaches its peak. While Vitality remain the tournament favorites, he selected Spirit and FURIA as his two 3-0 teams. According to Tedd, Spirit enter the stage with incredible momentum after a dominant Stage 2 run, while FURIA have shown steady improvement and are well-positioned to capitalize on their experience.
For his playoff teams, Tedd picked Vitality, NAVI, Falcons, FUT, G2, and BetBoom. He highlighted FUT’s explosive firepower and confidence after their impressive Stage 2 performance, while describing BetBoom as a potential dark horse capable of surprising stronger opponents thanks to the sheer talent across their roster.
On the other side of the Pick’Em, Tedd placed PARIVISION and И8 in the 0-3 category. He also expressed doubts about MOUZ due to their stand-in situation and remains unconvinced by Aurora’s current form. While teams such as Monte, Legacy, and 9z have impressed at various points during the event, he believes they are more likely to challenge favorites than make a deep playoff run themselves.
