CS2 Major Cologne Bracket Reveal — The Eight Real Contenders

FaZe and NAVI lead, Vitality / G2 / MOUZ / Astralis chase, Heroic and TYLOO are dark horses.

The CS2 Major Cologne bracket dropped. The eight realistic title contenders: FaZe Clan, NAVI, Vitality, G2, MOUZ, Astralis, Heroic and TYLOO. The drop-out from this list is Liquid, who land just outside on form and on map pool.

FaZe and NAVI are the two clean co-favorites at 4-1 odds. Both bring +0.10 ratings on the current map veto across their starting fives, both have the deep CT-side default sets the new Mirage layout actually rewards.

TYLOO is the Cinderella pick. Their April online-cup form is the best of the Asian region in years, and their CT-side rotation timing on Inferno is genuinely better than two of the European top six.
