Monte and FaZe Clan will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage to determine further seeding for both teams.
Personally, I think both of them will qualify for the Legends, although there are still some doubts about Monte. Firstly, sooner or later the team will run out of steam, especially as there are far more chances at this level. Secondly, the Ukrainian side have played a huge number of matches in the last two months, giving plenty of information on themselves.
Also, we should not forget that here we are dealing with FaZe Clan, who are unlikely to want to repeat last year's mistakes. Especially the team has clearly passed some point of no return, when they lost often and all in a row.
In general, I would not reinvent the wheel, as Monte still need to look at all possible angles. Therefore, here I would rely on the victory of the FaZe Clan team, which is clearly capable of defeating the upstart.
Form Monte
The 22nd ranked team of the world ranking unexpectedly asserted itself somewhere around March, although before that it had been interrupted by mediocre results even in its beloved online. But then the boys won CCT Central Europe Series 5, and that's where they started to take off.
Then the Ukrainian team managed to play well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where Ledge and Heroic and Vitality almost got the status of "legends".
Just after returning to her native harbour, Monte was limited to the final of CCT Central Europe Series 6, but at the same time won CCT West Europe Series 3, paving the way for ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 in the process.
Monte's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over Nexus.
- A 2-0 win over Evil Geniuses.
- 2-0 win over HAVU.
- Beat Apeks 2-0.
- A 16-10 win over allStars.
Best maps Monte:
- Anubis - 84% wins.
- Mirage - 72% wins.
- Ancient - 68% wins.
- Vertigo - 63% wins.
- Nuke - 54% wins.
- Overpass - 54% wins.
At the same time the Ukrainian team continues to refuse Inferno.
FaZe Clan uniforms
The second team of the world ranking objectively failed in the main stage of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where it managed to suffer defeats from Natus Vincere, Bad News Eagles and MOUZ.
However, in the Last Chance Qualifier, the European team managed to rectify themselves with victories over Aurora Gaming and Cloud9 to qualify for the Paris majors after all.
However, the problems of FaZe Clan worsened in the subsequent IEM Rio 2023 as after beating 9z the team totally lost to FURIA and Vitality, disgracefully dropping out of the championship.
The latest results FaZe Clan:
- Defeated Aurora Gaming 2-0.
- Victory over Cloud9 by a score of 2-0.
- Victory over 9z with a score of 16-3.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of FURIA.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Vitality.
FaZe Clan's best scores:
- Overpass - 71% wins.
- Ancient - 71% wins.
- Inferno - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
In turn, the European team has long given up on Vertigo.

The teams have not met before.
Monte vs FaZe Clan preview
I do not think there is much sense to talk about maps, because Monte plays everywhere and on a regular basis. Leaving aside all the factors of the online game, the Ukrainian team still need to prove themselves at this level.
In turn, FaZe Clan also need to prove their worth. Although, given the recent failures, the team surely must reboot.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on a victory of FaZe Clan.
