Top Budapest Major Playoffs Predictions
It’s almost too close to call, as this event has been electrifying thus far. We’ve seen huge upsets, underdog streaks, and new records set during this tournament, which has proven to be one of the best Counter-Strike 2 events of 2025.
FURIA remains the safest bet, which reflects the team’s dominant run through the early stages and consistent form throughout the year thus far. With outright odds of 2.9 to win the tournament, FURIA won’t offer the biggest returns, but should be the safest play.
Vitality has slightly longer odds (around 4.0), which promises better bang for your buck, and the team remains a fantastic choice for a middle-of-the-road option. Everyone knows that Vitality had the best year imaginable in 2025, but things have cooled off a little in recent weeks for ZywOo and Co.
By far the biggest outsider in terms of Counter-Strike betting odds is FaZe Clan. The Brazilian squad enters the Budapest Major playoffs with odds of 20.0 to take the trophy, but they’re a resilient side that has had a decent run thus far, so it might be worth a flutter to play the longest odds in the tournament.
If you want the safe pick, aim for FURIA. There’s value in wagering on Falcons or Spirit, but if you want larger returns, MongolZ still has a phenomenal shot at the trophy, and FaZe Clan could produce a masterful victory in the bracket.
