All CS2 online bookmakers have delivered outright winner odds for this event. The top five CS2 teams competing in Copenhagen have the following CS2 BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 odds to secure victory this weekend:
NaVi has experienced a resurgence since their poor outing at IEM Dallas 2024. Since that event, they have secured two first-place finishes and four tournament finals in a row. Their first championship win came at the Esports World Cup 2024. Their next major win came recently at the ESL Pro League Season 20. With those triumphs, NaVi now has three championship wins this year, as their first win came at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Between these wins, they finished second at the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024 and IEM Cologne 2024. Given their recent form, they are strong contenders in this contest, but they need to recover fast to pretend for another trophy in just a week.
Vitality’s failure to secure a win at the recently concluded ESL Pro League Season 20 has made it the second favorite to win this contest. The French organization has been one of the most consistent sides in CS2 this year. However, their only trophy came at IEM Cologne 2024, with the 2024 IEM Dallas event final. Their recent 5th-place finish at the ESL Pro League Season 20 looks an unlikely outcome, but their overall consistency makes them a strong contender to clinch a second championship this year in Denmark.
Currently ranked third in the HLTV CS2 standings, Team Spirit has the potential to create an upset at this year’s Fall Final. The Belgrade-based team has claimed championship titles at IEM Katowice 2024, BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024, and BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. Although they finished fifth in ESL Pro League Season 20, their roster remains strong. Rising star Danil “donk” Kryshkovets is one to watch, while Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov is another standout player. With their skills, Spirit is a top contender heading into the Fall Final 2024.
G2 Esports is another strong contender for the title this weekend. They recently bolstered their roster with the additions of MalbsMd and Snax, who have seamlessly integrated into the team. Together with huNter-, NiKo, and m0NESY, they accumulated an impressive number of frags at IEM Cologne 2024, where they finished 5th-6th. They followed that performance with a third-place finish at ESL Pro League Season 20, marking an improvement from their earlier results. With a solid track record this year, G2 has the potential to secure its second S-Tier title after IEM Dallas 2024.
FaZe Clan has significantly slipped from its early-season performances, which saw it achieve second place in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 and IEM Katowice 2024 tournaments. They also won the Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024 during this period. However, their recent results have been inconsistent, with five 5th-place finishes, one 9th-place finish, and one 13th-place finish. To reclaim their former glory and win this title, FaZe Clan must deliver their best performance yet. The responsibility now lies with frozen, ropz, rain, karrigan, and broky to deliver.

Vitality is undoubtedly the leading team heading into the CS2 Blast Premier Fall Final in Copenhagen, and they are deserving favorites. The French powerhouse has consistently performed at a high level, achieving 2nd place finishes at ESL Pro League Season 19 and IEM Dallas 2024. They also secured victory at IEM Cologne 2024, dominating teams like MOUZ, FaZe, and NaVi in both the Group Stage and Playoffs.
Although they finished fifth in ESL Pro League Season 20, Team Vitality remains at the top of the HLTV World Rankings. They will aim to prove that their last performance was an anomaly by clinching victory at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024. Given their current roster, most CS2 predictions for BLAST Fall Final position them as the most likely to win on Sunday.

NaVi enters this contest on the heels of their ESL Pro League Season 20 victory, firmly establishing their reputation as a superteam with significant upset potential. Their roster boasts strong players, including two-time Major winner b1t, who consistently delivers clutch performances. Additionally, IM’s recent resurgence adds a formidable edge to the team. Under Aleksib’s strategic leadership, NaVi is well-positioned to make a deep run in this event. Given their quality, we expect them to reach the grand finals. Numerous virtual betting sites are offering this option at odds of 1.80 (4/5), and the fifth final in a row is a bare minimum for this team.

As part of our betting predictions for the CS2 2024 BLAST Fall Final, we expect NaVi to emerge as the winner of Group A. They find themselves in a relatively easier group, with G2 Esports as their primary competition. Other teams, such as FaZe Clan and Team Falcons, are struggling and unlikely to challenge NaVi significantly. Entering this contest, NaVi enjoyed a stellar group campaign in the recent ESL Pro League Season 20, winning all three matches with a 2-0 scoreline. We expect them to replicate that performance this week and secure the semifinals without serious problems.
