Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023FaZe Clan and OG will meet in the semi-finals of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023. Once again, we see a situation where one of the teams has completely renewed their line-up.
It seems to me that with such a combination OG will not achieve anything, however, as it was before. Especially since the names of the team became noticeably weaker, and in the experience is clearly not added.
The more so that FaZe Clan has remained in the same line-up, which, in spite of the increasing incidence of recessions, showed a stable game. So in this situation, The International riga is all about what difference OG will lose. Therefore, here I would lean on FaZe Clan to win.
FaZe Clan's form
The third team in the world ranking actually failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. First of all, the guys barely made it to the play-offs, but already in the quarterfinals suffered an obvious defeat at the hands of Heroic.
Then the European team went to IEM Dallas 2023, where they did not show the best game. All the more, FaZe Clan came up short at the ½ finals stage where they failed to defeat ENCE.
Already at the end of the season, the team also failed in the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, where after a long victory over Astralis could not cope with Heroic and Vitality, without taking a single victory from their direct competitors.
FaZe Clan's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over G2 Esports.
- 1-2 defeat of ENCE.
- 2-0 win over Astralis.
- 0-2 defeat to Heroic.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Vitality.
FaZe Clan's best scores:
- Mirage - 73% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Ancient - 60% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the FaZe Clan team has long refused Vertigo maps.
OG Uniform
The European squad decided to return the captain nexa and also decided to build a new roster around F1KU. You can see for yourself how "cool" the team is shaping up.
Nothing to say about the new sniper, who is quite average, but the signing of k1to and FASHR is a real gimmick. True, OG have taken some clean-cut support players who weren't useful in their previous teams.
All in all, so far the squad looks even weaker than the previous iteration. And it seems to me that OG is not going to get anything worthwhile as the team has weakened noticeably by picking up players from the promotion for surrender.

Forecast for the match FaZe Clan - OG
What can we say about OG in general? Of course, we will see what the team shows in general, but on paper it looks very weak, and the prospects are not visible.
On the other hand, everyone knows about FaZe Clan. Yes, the team would not do harm to make point changes, but as long as the composition remains the same. And, given the state of the rival, there is no question.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on the victory of FaZe Clan.
