LGD Gaming is the clear favorite, as the roster boasts seasoned talents compared to the rookie-filled One Move. The Chinese team will advance to the decider round with ease.

Entity is expected to drop the series to LGD Gaming. Nevertheless, the former is considered a powerhouse, while the latter is seen as a midcard team.

Echpo4mak, a CIS team with tier 2 and 3 players, will be pushed to the elimination matchup by 2G.iG, a Chinese team consisting of veterans and prodigies.
Neon Esports vs beascoast
beastcoast will advance to the decider round by defeating Neon Esports, as their team has more collective player experience compared to the tier 3 team.
2G.iG vs beastcoast (Decider)
2G.iG will waltz into the Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 Quarterfinals by defeating beastcoast as the South American team displayed poor form in recent runs.

Predicted Group C standings in Games of the Future 2024:
L1ga Team vs Xtreme Gaming
Xtreme Gaming will defeat L1ga Team and walk into the Bo3 decider round as their battle-hardened TI finalists are more than capable of defeating a tier 2 CIS team.
Geek Fam vs Boom Esports
Boom Esports is expected to send Geek Fam to the elimination round as their roster is slightly more experienced than the tier 2 Malaysian team.
Xtreme Gaming vs Boom Esports (Decider)
Xtreme Gaming will likely march on to the Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 Quarterfinals by defeating Boom Esports 3-0, as the latter falls short in meta-based drafting when compared to the former.

PSG Quest vs Thunder Awaken
PSG Quest has all the ingredients to defeat Thunder Awaken. Their meta-based picks and aggressive gameplay may dismantle the South Americans.
Azure Ray vs PSG Quest (Decider)
Despite PSG Quest's recent performances, they risk dropping to Round 1 as Azure Ray are consistent contenders in tier 1 tournaments.
Thunder Awaken vs HYDRA (Elimination)
Both teams are new to the competitive scene so it's hard to predict the winner of this matchup.
