Forutsigelse av kamp: FaZe Clan - Complexity Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)

FaZe Clan and Complexity will meet in the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 playoffs. The winner of this match will go to the quarterfinals, where Cloud9 is already waiting for him.

It seems to me that there is no intrigue in this series, because, despite the unexpected entry into the playoffs from the North American team, FaZe Clan is the clear leader in the world ranking.

It is clear that karrigan and the company are now playing a little weaker than before. However, on a bare class and experience, the team is able to cope with Complexity, the game of which still has questions.

Therefore, I would not look for reasons to choose a map from North Americans, who already jumped above their heads. And I definitely don't expect Complexity to be able to dictate its play in a series where the team doesn't have any advantages.

FaZe Clan form

The first team of the world ranking returned from vacation to play ambiguously at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Even in the group, the team managed to lose to Heroic, showing an indistinct game on the Inferno map.

Fortunately, FaZe Clan solved its problems further, although it managed to give way to OG again. And yet we must admit that the team has a core on which it continues to stay afloat.

If we talk about the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, then here FaZe Clan continued to be in a fever in the sense that they lost to G2, and also lost MIBR and Outsiders on the map. And yet, at this point in time, the team is rightfully considered the favorite of the championship, albeit with its own problems.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• Victory over FTW with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2:1.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.

Best FaZe Clan maps:

• Nuke - 89% of wins.
• Inferno - 78% of wins.
• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
• Ancient - 50% win rate.

At the same time, the team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time, although they are training it until better times.

Complexity form

The 20th team in the world ranking qualified for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 for America on the first try, showing a confident game in the qualifiers. Then the North American team went to BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where, apart from the victory over NAVI, they achieved nothing, and then took the last place.

Nevertheless, Complexity managed to surprise in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, where they got three wins at once. Moreover, the North Americans left the difficult group, beating Astralis, HEET and ENCE along the way.

True, the team still does not seem to be combat-ready against the background of rivals from the TOP-10. And even in the group, Complexity lost to Heroic and MOUZ, which, in theory, is a reflection of the current conditions of the team.

Latest Complexity results:

• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over HEET with a score of 2:0.
• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 0:2.
• Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.

Best Complexity maps:

• Nuke - 80% win rate.

In turn, the North American team traditionally refuses the Mirage card.

Prediction for the FaZe Clan vs Complexity match

Again, I have to repeat what was said above - I do not believe in the North American team at all. At the same time, you need to understand that Complexity will most likely choose the map Ancient, where the opponent is not going smoothly.

However, FaZe Clan will definitely prepare for such a situation, as well as for the opponent in general. As a result, I do not see any chances for the North Americans, who still fall short in terms of their level.

Plus, we will play in front of the audience, which will play a minus for Complexity. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with a score of 2:0.
