Прогноз на матч: Vitality - FaZe Clan | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Vitality and FaZe Clan will meet in the second quarter-final of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023. In this case, the winner will take on G2 Esports, which could carry some chances for the final.

As for this clash, I don't have much faith in FaZe Clan, who have started to steadily lose big matches against principled opponents. If the situation does not change, then the meaning of this line-up is minimal.

In turn, Vitality barely qualified for the play-offs, but those group failures should be a cold shower for the team. What's more, the squad has some credibility so far.

In general, FaZe Clan's game is still very much dependent on luck, because all decisions are based on timing and shooting. In this regard, I would lean on a win for the Vitality team, which plays much more sensibly.

Vitality's form

The first team of the world ranking performed coolly at IEM Rio 2023, where they quickly recovered from their defeat at the hands of OG to go on to win the tournament.

The Danish-French outfit then swept all their opponents in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 without a chance, to take the majors as expected, along the way repeating their record of finishing the tournament without a losing card.

However, Vitality had trouble in the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 group stage as the team lost to Imperial Esports and also passed Cloud9 with great difficulty.

Vitality's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Into the Breach.
• Victory over Apeks by a score of 2-0.
• Beat GamerLegion 2-0.
• Defeat by Imperial Esports 0-2.
• 2-0 win over Cloud9.

Vitality's best scores:

• Nuke - 100% wins.
• Anubis - 89% wins.
• Vertigo - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Danish-French team continues to give up on Ancient.

FaZe Clan uniforms

The third team of the world ranking played frankly badly on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, although it managed to get into the play-offs. However, in the quarterfinals RobbaN wards lost their mana to lose to Heroic.

Next up, the European side took part in IEM Dallas 2023 where they even managed to outplay Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid, Cloud9 and G2 Esports but also double up against ENCE, finishing in the semis.

As for the performance in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, here FaZe Clan defeated Astralis, but then failed to cope with Heroic, suffering another defeat in a close game.

FaZe Clan's latest results:

• A 2-1 win over Cloud9.
• Victory over G2 Esports with a score of 2-1.
• Defeat to ENCE by a score of 1-2.
• 2-0 win over Astralis.
• 0-2 defeat by Heroic.

Top scorers of the FaZe Clan:

• Mirage - 71% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 64% wins.

In turn, the European team is steadily giving up maps Vertigo.

Vitality - FaZe Clan encounter statistics

Within the current season, the teams have played two meetings:

• Vitality's 2-0 victory in ESL Pro League Season 17.
• Vitality's 2-0 win at IEM Rio 2023.

Interestingly, the teams have played twice on the Anubis card.

Vitality vs FaZe Clan

Personally, I have contradictory feelings from FaZe Clan, as the team always plays differently, in the sense that often someone is off, and the others are hitting thirty.

It is difficult to perceive the European team in such a format, and as such there have not been any successes for a long time. Vitality, on the other hand, is still the leader of any championship, the reasons for which need not be explained.

And even taking into account Long's weakness, the Danish-French team can count on success. So in this case, I'd recommend betting on Vitality to win.
