At 4.00 with the best Counter-Strike bookmakers, ALTERNATE aTTaX are expected to win this series in only 25% of scenarios, whereas Cloud9 are priced as 1.20 favourites, suggesting they should have no issues winning the series. Yet while Cloud9 have a higher ceiling, they’ve not looked very clean of late.

Head to Head

This will mark the first meeting between Cloud9 and ALTERNATE aTTaX.

ALTERNATE aTTaX Form

ALTERNATE aTTaX have made it very far this tournament, and deservingly so. They defeated Nemiga Gaming (2-1) in the first round and added a 2-1 victory against OG in the previous stage of ThunderPick World Championship 2024: European Series #2 when they needed to reverse-sweep to come out ahead.

The German Counter-Strike esports squad are 3-2 from their last five series, with a concerning loss against kONO.ECF as well as two close series against RUBY (1-2) and ARRROW (19-17). Results like that make it very hard to believe ALTERNATE aTTaX can do well against a serious opponent, although it is not like we’ve seen them do well with any great team over the last few months.

Cloud9 Form

Cloud9 have had their moments this season, but have not found much notable success in bigger tournaments. They did bounce back a bit in the middle of August with an eight-game winning streak but have since managed to win just three of six series played.

That includes two victories at this event, where Cloud9 defeated Insilio (2-0) and GamerLegion (2-1), needing a reverse sweep to win the latter. A slight improvement, but hardly something to write home about, seeing how Cloud9 have not been too consistent in beating weaker teams of late.

Verdict

ALTERNATE aTTaX v Cloud9

Cloud9 have looked better than ALTERNATE aTTaX over the last month and have managed to post more promising results. On top of it, C9 field a stronger lineup, so it makes sense for them to be priced as favourites.

On the other side, ALTERNATE aTTaX have had their moments and can be competitive in this contest, especially considering Cloud9 are not the most consistent team. So, while this is Cloud9’s game to lose, ALTERNATE aTTaX should be in a fine spot to take a map.
