Forutsigelse på match CS2 G2 Esports - FaZe Clan

G2 and FaZe Clan will play in the Group A semi-finals at IEM Katowice 2023. The winner of this match will not only advance to the group stage grand finals, but also guarantee a place in the championship playoffs.

To be honest, on the first day, these two teams showed the best game. Moreover, G2 and FaZe Clan demonstrated not only self-confidence, but also excellent shooting.

However, here you still need to single out a favorite, and I would prefer to make a choice in favor of G2. Firstly, the team has been showing too cool a game for a long time to suddenly slow down. Secondly, the guys have already beaten FaZe Clan at the end of last season.

Therefore, here I would take a closer look at the victory of the "samurai", because in my opinion, this team is now almost the strongest on the stage. It is clear that the wards of RobbaN can turn on, but the subjective assessment is in favor of G2.

Form G2

The second team of the world ranking made a strong breakthrough at the end of last season, as they became the winner of the BLAST Premier World Final 2022, having closed many direct competitors in the playoffs.

Already at the start of the new season, the European team visited BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they won three confident victories in the group stage and resolved all their issues in advance.

As for the start at the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, here G2 went through BIG without much effort and continued their streak without defeats, as well as without losing maps. Therefore, I have a feeling that the team will not stop there.

Do not forget that the European team consistently refuses one map - Overpass.

FaZe Clan form

The third team in the world ranking had an ambiguous end to the last season, but still made it to the finals of BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, and also made it to the ½ finals of BLAST Premier World Final 2022.

However, the European team played very confidently at the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they got three wins and lost only one map - in the first match against OG.

And at the start of IEM Katowice 2023, the FaZe Clan team dealt with Team Spirit without any problems, showing themselves in terms of preparation and motivation.

Prediction for G2 vs FaZe Clan match

Perhaps it is impossible to judge objectively here, since in their current form both teams are at the peak of their capabilities and are breaking apart. Moreover, both teams show approximately equal style, in every possible way looking for space on the map. However, face-to-face for me, FaZe Clan is in a losing position. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team.
