How AI predicts Pickem
Each of the 27 models on CS2PREDICT has its own match-prediction logic (ELO, recent form, head-to-head, etc.). For Pickem we run a Monte Carlo simulation of the 16-team Swiss bracket — 10,000 times per model — using the model's per-match win-probability for every potential pairing.
Each model's 3-0 pick is the team that finishes 3-0 most often in those simulations, 0-3 is the most-frequent winless team, advance picks are the 7 teams most likely to finish 3-1 or 3-2.
The consensus is a vote: which team did the most models pick for each slot.
