Summary: If you decided to take part in this Major’s Pick‘Em challenge, I can only feel sorry for you. The PGL Major has proven to be the most unpredictable in CS:GO’s history, with favourites dropping at every stage. With the likes of G2, Cloud9 and NaVi falling in the group stage, the Major looked ripe for an Astralis or SK final, only to find them matched in the quarterfinals. The playoffs continued the trend, with no one predicting a Gambit-Immortals finale. Even then, Immortals looked to subvert expectations, overwhelming Gambit 16-4 on Cobblestone. In the end, Gambit’s strategy won out, finally earning Zeus a long deserved Major title in his third attempt.
