Прогноз на матч CS2 Liquid - FaZe Clan

Liquid and FaZe Clan will meet in the group stage of IEM Katowice 2022. I'm not sure that the North American team will be able to offer something to the opponent, and in general at the tournament. Therefore, here I expect an easy walk for FaZe Clan, which shows a confident game even without ropz.

Form Liquid

The 54th team in the world ranking failed at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. Moreover, the team showed a mediocre game on Inferno in the group, and also quickly fell off in the playoffs, losing to NAVI without a chance. So I'm not sure if Liquid is in the right condition to compete with the best teams in the world.

Liquid's latest results:

• Lost to NAVI with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 15:19.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 19:17.
• Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 17:19.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 0:2.

Interestingly, the team can also play on Ancient. However, North Americans are unlikely to take risks against FaZe Clan.

FaZe Clan form

The ninth team in the world ranking had a great IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In, where, despite the absence of ropz, they got two victories. Yes, in some places the team made them doubt themselves, including indistinctly playing in the attack on Overpass, and also generally failing the map Nuke against MOUZ. And yet, now FaZe Clan looks a little more confident than last year, and the team has already played Liquid twice.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• Victory over Liquid with a score of 19:17.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 16:10.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 16:12.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.

Best FaZe Clan maps:

• Inferno - 86% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Nuke - 60% win rate.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the team will definitely not play on Vertigo.

Match statistics Liquid — FaZe Clan

As part of the current season, the teams held two meetings - at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, FaZe Clan won both times (19:15, 19:17).

Prediction for the match Liquid — FaZe Clan

Personally, I can't imagine what the North Americans have prepared, who, apart from the shooting of the NAF and ELiGE, have nothing to offer. Well, FaZe Clan looks like an indisputable favorite in this series, since it can prove itself not only on Inferno. Liquid is hardly able to surprise on other maps, no matter how much they would like to. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the FaZe Clan team.
