Match Prediction: Vitality - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2020First of all, we want to notice that Team Vitality places 7th in the world rate, while their opponents from FaZe Clan hold the 9th position. The difference is not that significant but makes its impact on the decision.
FaZe Clan managed to surprise the whole public at the previous LAN tournament and became the best team in its group and advanced to the LAN final of the spring league BLAST Premier. It’s worth to remind that they defeated Team Liquid twice and achieved victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas. At IEM Katowice 2020, they defeated Renegades, one of the main underdogs of the competition, without problems with a score of 2-1. They lost the tough battle to NAVI with a score of 1-2.
Vitality, in turn, played way worse at the past championship and did not place 1st-3rd like FaZe Clan but 7th-9th. They beat NiP and were defeated in the fight with Astralis in the previous matches of IEM Katowice 2020. FaZe is not as strong opponent as Astralis but, on another hand, this factor might relax the French.
Experts from bookmaker companies evaluate the chance of the victory by Vitality as 1.92, while FaZe Clan’s triumph is equal to 1.92. We recommend to pay attention to such results as the handicap +1.5 in the favor of Vitality with odds 1.28, the handicap +1.5 in the favor of FaZe with odds 1.26 and the total maps are more than 2.5 with odds 2.01. We are almost sure that the battle will not be easy and will be hosted on all three maps. We tend to the victory of FaZe with the result 2-1.
