Analyst: B8 nearly certain for Singapore Major; fnatic needs a miracle AI

Simulations by analyst Jesper “Udknud” Larsen put Ukrainian organisation B8 at 94.8% to reach the Singapore Major ahead of Stake Ranked Episode 4. Fnatic — whose roster includes five Ukrainians — sits at just 4.7% and would need a shock tournament win to improve its odds. B8 is a Ukrainian organisation; fnatic’s five-Ukrainian lineup makes the Stake Ranked result a focus for Kyiv-area CS2 fans and national esports followers.

An analyst simulation published ahead of Stake Ranked Episode 4 projects large differences in Major qualification chances for European teams. Jesper “Udknud” Larsen’s model shows the upcoming Stake Ranked event will be decisive for slots to the Singapore Major and will also influence updated rankings and invites to tier‑1 events from October 5 and BLAST Premier Rivals.

B8 sits in a very strong position with a 94.8% qualification probability before the event. According to the simulation, even a 5–6 finish leaves them with a 93.7% chance, a tournament win guarantees qualification, and only a complete collapse to 7–8 would cut their odds to about 73.2%.

Fnatic, whose current roster includes five Ukrainian players, faces a much steeper path: a 4.7% chance on October 1. A surprise victory at Stake Ranked would raise fnatic’s probability to roughly 37.1%, while an early 7–8 exit would leave them at about 1.4%. The probabilities are drawn from HLTV‑based simulations reported by Sport.ua.
