NAVI vs. FaZe Clan: who will be the winner of IEM Cologne 2022?

The grand final of IEM Cologne 2022 will begin very soon, in which the two strongest teams of the scene will face off - NaVi and FaZe Clan. Both teams were considered the main favorites of the championship, and so far have not suffered a single defeat. In addition, FaZe Clan did not lose a single map in Cologne, leaving excellent chances to return to the top of the world rankings. Nevertheless, "Born to Win" will obviously be ready to interfere with their main competitor, and at the same time they will try to retire as the undisputed leader of the scene.

During this tournament, FaZe Clan has not yet suffered a single defeat, and at the same time has not given up a single card. As a result, the team successfully coped with 00NATION (2:0), Team Spirit (2:0), Astralis (2:0) and Movistar Riders (2:0), being in the grand final. In turn, NAVI also goes undefeated, but manages to give maps to the opponents. And yet, victories over MOUZ (2:1), NIP (2:0), Movistar Riders (2:1) and Astralis (2:0) brought the Born to Win to the grand final.

As part of the current season, the teams held four meetings:

• NAVI's victory at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:1.
• FaZe Clan's victory at ESL Pro League Season 15 with a score of 2:0.
• FaZe Clan's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 with a score of 2:0.
• NAVI's victory at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 with a score of 2:0.

As for maps, everything is very clear with NAVI - minus Vertigo. In turn, FaZe Clan will have to think whether to remove Dust 2 or Mirage. In any case, there is a high probability of seeing all five maps in the match, since the opponents are worth each other.
