Forutsigelse av kamp: G2 Esports - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)

G2 and FaZe Clan will meet in the second quarter-final of IEM Dallas 2023. Here, the winner will go to play ENCE, which, given current realities, offers no guarantee of making it to the final.

In general, The International is interesting to see what the Samurai can come up with after a toothless defeat by Heroic. Moreover, FaZe Clan continues to win through themselves, as objectively the team is tired and makes an unthinkable number of mistakes.

In general, we are waiting for a very entertaining encounter, the more so that both teams are worth each other. And I'm quite surprised by the odds, which are leaning in favour of G2.

Personally, I don't agree with that too much, because, judging from the last match, G2 is not in as good a shape as it may have seemed at the Long Championships. So here I would settle for a map from the FaZe Clan team.

Form G2

The world's sixth-ranked team confidently traversed the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage grid, where they recorded three exhibition victories over TheMongolz, Complexity Gaming and Apeks.

However, the European squad had already fallen to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 in the main stage, managing to lose to Vitality, Bad News Eagles and fnatic to go home past the play-offs stage.

On the other hand, G2 did well in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where they crushed Nouns and OG. But the Samurai came up with nothing against Heroic in their group final, once again reminding them of their problems.

Latest G2 results:

• A 2-0 win over FURIA.
• Defeat to fnatic by a score of 1-2.
• 16-5 win over Nouns.
• Beat OG 2-0.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Heroic.

Best G2 scores:

• Inferno - 90% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

It is worth remembering that the European team is steadily banning the Overpass map.

FaZe Clan's uniform

The third team of the world ranking had time to fail in the play-offs BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where it was defeated already in the quarterfinals by Heroic, while playing badly from the individual point of view.

As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here the European squad tried to lose to Evil Geniuses, but right after that they were defeated by ENCE and fell in the bottom net.

However, here FaZe Clan managed to come back to first outplay Team Liquid and then get a win over Cloud9 and make their way into the play-offs. It is clear that the team is tired, but not so tired as to give such odds.

FaZe Clan's latest results:

• A 1-2 loss to Heroic.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 19:17.
• Defeat to ENCE by a score of 0-2.
• Beat Team Liquid 2-0.
• Defeat Cloud9 by a score of 2-1.

FaZe Clan's best scores:

• Ancient - 78% wins.
• Mirage - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 55% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.
• Anubis - 50% wins.

In turn, FaZe Clan steadily gives up Vertigo.

Meeting statistics of G2 - FaZe Clan

In the current season the teams have met once - G2 claimed victory (2:0) at IEM Katowice 2023.

Forecast for the match G2 vs FaZe Clan

As I see it, G2 has a few problems. First, the team has begun to switch off in difficult matches. Secondly, the Samurai have played too small a pool of cards, with which it is difficult in such tournaments.

On the other hand, everyone knows about FaZe Clan for a long time, but the team continues to be among the leaders. Moreover, purely on paper, the team has a good chance to win.

In general, looking at the odds, I would not put that much faith in G2. The more so because in their last game against the Danes, the Samurais didn't show anything much.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on map (+1.5) for the FaZe Clan team.
