CS2 Props – Counter-Strike Predictions & Picks Today
Counter-Strike games take place all throughout the day. In order to maintain consistency and expectations, CS2 props will be posted when there are major events taking place.
Blast Open Lisbon CS2 Picks: Monday, March 24
The best of the best are separating themselves at Blast Open in Portugal.
Here is the schedule for Monday:
CS2 Preview (3/24/25)
MOUZ vs. Vitality
Virtus.pro vs. Spirit
Eternal Fire vs. Natus Vincere
The MongolZ vs. G2
Top DFS & Betting Plays:
donk vs. Virtus.Pro
It was kind of an off day yesterday even though Spirit won the series 2-0, but donk is typically a dominant player. His CS2 projection is up at 40.5 kills on Underdog for this matchup.
m0NESY vs. The MongolZ
He was on point yesterday, carrying the team to a 2-1 win over M80, but the competition jumps another level against MongolZ on Monday. Can G2’s star deliver?
Top DFS Fades:
Aleksib — in-game leader in a tougher-than-normal matchup; Na’Vi’s balance makes them tough to trust fantasy-wise
Snax — typically has an even lower impact than Aleksi, and the schedule is rough against MongolZ

Blast Open Lisbon CS2 Picks: Sunday, March 23
We have yet another sizable Counter-Strike tournament going on with some of the world’s strongest organizations participating, this time at Blast Open in Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is the schedule:
CS2 Preview (3/23/25)
Falcons vs. Virtus.pro
FaZe vs. Spirit
Liquid vs. MongolZ
M80 vs. G2
Today’s analysis will focus on the three later games of the day.
FaZe/Spirit is going to be cinema, and of course, donk is the best route to take if backing Spirit. His upside is unmatched whenever he’s in the server, and he can get it done regardless of map and opponent. As for FaZe, they’re a bit more balanced and harder to nail down fantasy-wise with this starting lineup.
We have been disappointed by Liquid throughout Blast Open, and we don’t think it’s going to get much better against a strong MongolZ team. They’re a full fade for us, and we’d prefer targeting the Mongolians, namely AWPer 910, liberally on Sunday.
To wrap up the day, we get an entertaining battle between M80 and G2, and we think this will one be close.
m0NESY is the most talented player in this matchup and has even more responsibility to perform now that NiKo has moved to Falcons. His CS2 projection is at 35.5 kills on Sleeper Picks.
Thing is, we actually believe a well-prepared and surging M80 has a good chance at scoring the “upset” in this matchup.
Top DFS & Betting Plays:
donk vs. FaZe
910 vs. Liquid
m0NESY vs. M80

Blast Open Lisbon CS2 Picks: Saturday, March 22
We have yet another sizable Counter-Strike tournament going on with some of the world’s strongest organizations participating, this time at Blast Open in Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is the schedule:
CS2 Preview (3/22/25)
Imperial vs. Liquid
M80 vs. FURIA
G2 vs. Eternal Fire
The MongolZ vs. Natus Vincere
Today’s analysis will focus on the three later games of the day.
M80/FURIA should be a fun watch and a tight match, one we wouldn’t be surprised to see go all three maps. Lake is an aggressive player who could be worth targeting on the M80 side, while KSCERATO has usually been the go-to option for the Brazilians.
After that we have G2/Eternal Fire in another great-looking matchup. m0NESY is the standout in this matchup given his skill level, but it’s not going to be easy for G2 against Eternal Fire, who have become one of the strongest teams in the world.
We then get treated to MongolZ/Na’Vi and it’s another game that could really go either way. These are two of the most balanced, well-disciplined teams out there and they rarely make silly mistakes, so we’re eager to see who ends up victorious here.
Top DFS & Betting Plays:
NertZ vs. Imperial
m0NESY vs. Eternal Fire
XANTERES vs. G2
910 vs. Natus Vincere

Blast Open Lisbon CS2 Picks: Friday, March 21
We have yet another sizable Counter-Strike tournament going on with some of the world’s strongest organizations participating, this time at Blast Open in Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is the schedule:
CS2 Preview (3/21/25)
The Huns vs. Falcons
Astralis vs. FaZe
Spirit vs. Mousesports
Vitality vs. Virtus.pro
The Huns put up a great fight against Spirit and looked a lot stronger than many expected, so they could present a tough challenge for Falcons. Regardless, we still think NiKo will have his say.
FaZe/Astralis should be a fun, competitive matchup even though there is no one in particular we love individually. EliGE would get the pick if we had to choose.
Then there’s donk and Spirit against Mousesports in what should be a banger. It’s been another dominant showing for the young superstar early on in this tournament, and we can expect another impactful showing against MOUZ.
The last game of the day pits Vitality against VP, and we’re looking forward to this one. No one has been able to stop Vitality since they brought in ropz as the new starting fifth, but Virtus.pro has been looking better and better recently.
It should also be noted that Vitaliy hasn’t really been needing star ZywOo to pop off as much. The whole starting five is contributing and looking very balanced, which is great for the team but not so great for DFS production purposes.
Top Plays:
NiKo vs. The Huns
EliGE vs. Astralis
donk vs. Mousesports
ZywOo vs. Virtus.pro

Blast Open Lisbon CS2 Picks: Thursday, March 20
We have yet another sizable Counter-Strike tournament going on with some of the world’s strongest organizations participating, this time at Blast Open in Lisbon, Portugal.
Here is the schedule:
CS2 Preview (3/20/25)
7:00 AM ET: G2 vs. Imperial
9:30 AM ET: Eternal Fire vs. Liquid
12:00 PM ET: The MongolZ vs. M80
2:30 PM ET: Natus Vincere vs. FURIA
G2 has not been as dominant since losing NiKo to Team Falcons, but we still believe they’ll be able to topple Imperial in the opener, and m0NESY and malbsMd stand out most individually.
The second matchup should be a close affair, and we believe NertZ and XANTERES (CS2 projection of 32.5 on Underdog) are the two to watch for their respective teams. This series has a solid shot of going all three maps.
We are quite intrigued by the MongolZ/M80 matchup. While we are a fan of what M80 is building, we don’t believe they’ll be able to get past the Mongolians, who are one of the most in-form teams in the world right now.
Not much stands out player-wise for the last game, as both Na’Vi and FURIA are well-balanced teams who aren’t overly reliant on one player to carry. Na’Vi should emerge victorious, but we don’t love anyone for DFS or betting.
Good luck!
Top Plays:
m0NESY vs. Imperial
NertZ vs. Eternal Fire
XANTERES vs. Liquid
910 vs. M80
CS2 Preview (3/19/25)
7:00 AM ET: Spirit vs. The Huns
9:30 AM ET: Mousesports vs. Falcons
12:00 PM ET: Vitality vs. Astralis
2:30 PM ET: FaZe vs. Virtus.pro
Other than Spirit/The Huns, these matches should be relatively competitive.
Spirit should be able to topple Huns without a lot of trouble, especially if donk is as sharp as he usually is. This will be a great learning experience for Huns, but they’re not expected to make it too far as the lowest-ranked team at the event.
Mousesports/Falcons should be competitive, and we like Spinx for MOUZ and NiKo for Falcons. NiKo is the foundational piece of Falcons and has a lot of upside for DFS in general.
We’re curious to see if Astralis can put up a fight against Vitality in the opener. Vitality looked like one of the best teams ever in the ESL Pro League win in Sweden, with all five players performing at a high level in the Grand Final sweep of MOUZ. ZywOo and ropz are the main targets.
The last matchup of the day pits FaZe against VP, and this one has a great chance of going all three maps. Both teams are extremely strong.
Top Plays:
donk vs. The Huns
NiKo vs. Mousesports
ZywOo vs. Astralis
