Match Prediction: NaVi - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2020At the moment Natus Vincere is in great shape. After Perfecto joined the team, the roster refreshed. There are several reasons for that. The first and the main is the change of roles in the team. Now the main sniper has been changed from the missing GuardiaN to the experienced s1mple, who, by the way, gained a graffiti in 2016 with this very weapon. Secondly, new blood, Perfecto, as a rifler could help NAVI supply a gap that appeared when Aleksandr left for AWP. Thirdly, Boombl4 has been the captain of the team for a long time. He passed the adaption period, relaxed psychologically and now he copes with his duties better in comparison with the way it was when he joined the team. As a reminder, at BLAST Premier Spring Series 2020 Natus Vincere beat the main favorites of Group B, Astralis and Team Vitality. Thanks to this, the team took the 1-3 place in the tournament bracket and got invited to BLAST Premier Spring Series 2020 Finals.
FaZe Clan has achieved similar success. They are in good gaming shape and at their quartette, the players managed to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas and Team Liquid. Nevertheless, this achievement is unlikely to be more solid than something that NAVI has managed to achieve recently.
Sportsbook companies do not agree with our point of view and think that Natus Vincere will lose the battle. The odds of their victory are equal to 2.05 while the odds for FaZe have been shaped 1.72. These results could be found fair only in the case when we remember the fact of debut competition. NAVI has been noticed to tend to lose the first matches of tournaments, especially if it is Bo1. However, in this case, the meeting is held in the series up to two wins and also we should not forget that Natus Vincere’s gaming shape is rather good and FaZe may not cope with ‘Born to Win’ and their power.
If you do not like to take a risk, we can offer a more secure alternative Handicap +1.5 for NAVI. We think that Natus Vincere is to win this battle and at least one map in their pocket will not be a real challenge for them. The odds for the outcome are equal to 1.35.
