Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - Cloud9 | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage Europe Last Chance QualifierFaZe Clan and Cloud9 will meet in the very final match of the entire qualifying process, where they will play for the last available ticket to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
There is no controversy here, as defeat for both teams is a setback. And to watch the Major without FaZe Clan or Cloud9 would be incredibly sad considering that all sorts of other Short Boost will be playing in Paris.
Here I would rely on the victory of FaZe Clan which is going to crush Cloud9 on morale. And the team has a lot more experience, which is the main factor in this game.
FaZe Clan form
The second team of the world ranking recently won ESL Pro League Season 17 by beating Cloud9 in the finals. And there the boys gave up just one card, which clearly adds to the chances here and now.
As for the performances in the main part of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the European team got victories over OG and Apeks, but after that failed to cope with Natus Vincere, Bad News Eagles and MOUZ.
Fortunately the high Buchholz factor and a confident victory over Aurora Gaming in the first round of the Last Chance Qualifier helped FaZe Clan, who probably watched their opponent's game an hour earlier.
FaZe Clan's latest results:
- Victory over Apeks with a score of 16-13.
- Defeat to Natus Vincere by a score of 0-2.
- Defeat to Bad News Eagles 0-2.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of MOUZ.
- 2-0 win over Aurora Gaming.
FaZe Clan's best scores:
- Overpass - 71% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 57% wins.
- Nuke - 57% wins.
Let's not forget that the European squad has long given up on Vertigo.
Cloud9 form
The fifth team of the world ranking ambiguously performed in the main part of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where it managed to outplay FORZE and Eternal Fire, but lost to Monte at the same time.
Moreover, Cloud9 had nothing against them in their matches against G2 Esports and ENCE, dropping two BO3s. Moreover, Cloud9 didn't look any weaker in the game, but they couldn't switch on quickly and gave away their rounds.
However, the Russian team is progressing well at the Last Chance Qualifier stage, where they have already managed to beat B8 Esports and BIG. However, apart from playing practice, the lads will have little advantage.
Cloud9's latest results:
- A 19-16 win over Eternal Fire.
- A 0-2 loss to G2 Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to ENCE.
- 2-0 win over B8 Esports.
- 2-0 win over BIG.
Cloud9's best scores:
- Vertigo - 82% wins.
- Mirage - 79% wins.
- Overpass - 62% wins.
- Ancient - 58% wins.
In turn, the Russian team continues to reject Nuke maps.

Forecast for the match FaZe Clan - Cloud9
Personal preferences aside, Cloud9 has very little chance in this game. Personally, I think that now FaZe Clan will get together and start putting in the sixth gear again and taking out the rounds. And with the morale of the clouds sometimes have big problems. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on FaZe Clan's victory.
