Nine professional CS:GO players from around the world were asked to give theScore eSports their predictions for how DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca will play out and these are the results:

Which two teams do you think will meet in the finals and which will win?

Pros Predict: Team SoloMid vs. Team EnVyUs, with Team SoloMid winning it all.

Team SoloMid got the most number of votes to make the Grand Final with seven participants predicting that the Danish squad will make the first ever Major grand final appearance. Team EnVyUs followed closely in second with six votes.

In the head-to-head matchup, most gave the nod to Team SoloMid but it should be a close one considering TSM's own dupreeh predicted a 2-1 scoreline with quintuple (5) overtimes.

Results:

seangares: Cloud9 vs TSM, Cloud9 wins!

EnVyUs vs TSM, with TSM winning 3-2. kennyS: TSM and EnVyUs.

TSM and EnVyUs. Denis: Virtus Pro, EnVyUs, Fnatic and TSM or even NiP -- two of those teams, I think. You can't really say who is going to be in the final and who will win because they can all win against each other. But maybe it will be a team which no one expects, like that time Fnatic won DreamHack Winter 2013.

Which team do you think will have the biggest surprise run in the tournament?

Pros Predict: Titan.

This Major might be the toughest one to predict yet. ​This question was definitely the most disputed of all the ones we asked, and almost every player had a differing opinion. Still, Titan got the "majority" of votes with two.

An important note however, is that the majority of players predicted a team from the Americas would do well but could not come to a consensus on exactly which team.

Results:

seangares: Cloud9!

Cloud9! FugLy: Titan! With the addition of shox and smithz, I think they are bound to have a great run. I want to see Ex6TenZ do well again.

Which team do you think will have the most disappointing performance?

Pros Predict: Ninjas in Pyjamas.

The Ninjas in Pyjamas received the most number of votes, with four players choosing the Swedish team as potential disappointments at Cluj-Napoca. Following closely behind was Fnatic with three votes.

Given how dominant NiP have been in the past, and given their recent struggles against the world's top teams, it only makes sense that the pros have predicted the Swedes as the team that will have the most disappointing performance.

Results:

seangares: Fnatic, but only because they’d be disappointed with anything but first place. I think they might have a little more competition this time around!

Na`Vi. denis: Honestly I think Fnatic will “disappoint,” but it depends – they also had some “bad” games right before a tournament in the past and then played awesome in the tournament.

Either of those two could maybe turn out disappointing if things don't go their way.

Who do you think will be the most valuable player during the tournament?

Pros Predict: device.

Team SoloMid's device got the most number of votes with four pros predicting that the Danish superstar would take home the honor of being TSM's most valuable player.

TSM have been on an absolute tear, recently securing an international title at the PGL Season 1 Finals while on a 24 map win streak. One of the main reason's for their success has been device's ability to elevate the level of his play, and it shouldn't surprise anyone to see him absolutely dominate the tournament.

Results:

seangares: Skadoodle.

Skadoodle. FugLy : device! He has been incredible lately. I think he will have an all-star performance during the Major.

Which map do you think will see the most play in the tournament?

Pros Predict: Cobblestone.

Cobblestone secured the most votes with four of the pro's predicting that the map would be most played. Following closely behind was Mirage and Dust2 with three votes each.

What was once considered one of the worst maps in CS:GO, Cobblestone is now being predicted to be one of the most played maps at a Valve sponsored Major event. The major changes that Valve implemented back in February of this year has definitely improved the map in many ways and thanks to those changes, we'll probably be seeing a lot of this map at Cluj-Napoca.

Results:

seangares: It seems like a lot of top teams want to play Cache and Cobblestone lately.

Which player do you think will have the most highlight moments in the tournament?

Pros Predict: kennyS

Counting kennyS' own vote, the French AWPer secured a total of four votes. An interesting note about the players mentioned below: all of them (with the exception of ScreaM) are either the main AWPer's and/or secondary AWPers on their respective teams.

With the weight of having to carry his entire team to victory off his shoulders, and confidence in his game growing day by day, the French AWPer has almost never looked more comfortable than he is right now on EnVyUs. In a recent interview with theScore eSports, kennyS said that he is still affected by the loss in Cologne, meaning his motivation will be at an all time high heading into Cluj-Napoca.

Results:

seangares: Skadoodle.

Skadoodle. FugLy: kennyS and JW if he comes back to form. Both of those guys never fail to disappoint.
