Match Prediction: Team Spirit - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2022Team Spirit and FaZe Clan will compete for the right to get into the playoffs of IEM Cologne 2022. Here is a repeat of the semi-finals of the last major, however, now FaZe Clan is not playing as brightly and confidently as in Belgium.
In turn, the Russian team also has its own problems, which, after the change of sniper, has clearly not yet found its game. Nevertheless, while Team Spirit shows character and fights to the last, which was directly shown by the last match of the team.
In any case, I will stand my ground and continue to consider FaZe Clan a weakened team, which under the current conditions has every chance to untie the opponent's hands and have problems.
Team Spirit Uniform
The eleventh team of the world ranking managed to say goodbye to degster, having signed an equally talented but young w0nderful to replace him.
As a result, the Russian team had a successful start at IEM Cologne 2022, where they got two wins at the Play-In stage. However, it must be said that Team Spirit made too many mistakes in places, as they managed to give up a map in the game against 00NATION.
As for the start at the group stage, here the "dragons" managed to turn the game around with Team Liquid, having obtained a key victory. And it seems to me that from the point of view of psychology, Team Spirit has acquired much more than just reaching the upper bracket.

FaZe Clan form
The first team in the world ranking has been failing all the championships in a row, starting from IEM Dallas 2022. After that, the team had another bout of excuses at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022, where it fell after being defeated by NAVI.
From the recent FaZe Clan took part in the Roobet Cup 2022, where they even reached the final. But there the team managed to lose to BIG, and the Germans, as we ourselves know, are no longer in Cologne.
As for the start at IEM Cologne 2022, here RobbaN's wards managed to cope with the Brazilians from 00NATION. But I would not say that we have a team capable of winning the championship.

Prediction for the match Team Spirit — FaZe Clan
"Dragons" should cling to the game at least on the character that cannot be taken away from them. In turn, FaZe Clan continues to rely on shooting and the class of players, although it is clear that the team has not been finalizing the last two months.
On the plus side, everything goes in favor of Team Spirit, which, excluding Nuke and Mirage, is capable of imposing a fight everywhere. And at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, the teams played an equal match, where the "dragons" definitely did not look weaker.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for Team Spirit.
