Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - Sprout | Counter-Strike (CS2)

FaZe Clan and Sprout will play in the third round of IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A, playing for a ticket to the Major. Who would have told me a couple of months ago that RobbaN's wards would play so shamefully and carelessly that they almost lose in two matches.

And in this case, I'm sure that Sprout will give battle to the leader of the world ranking, because the Danish team has a number of advantages, even if we ignore the confident start at the RMR tournament.

All in all, FaZe Clan is a huge disappointment, and everything is going to the fact that the team will fail in the second half of the season, without being able to come up with anything new.

FaZe Clan form

The leader of the world ranking frankly failed in the framework of the recent ESL Pro League Season 16. Moreover, the first problems of the team began at the group stage, where they confidently squandered their chances.

Well, in the playoffs, FaZe Clan barely escaped in the match against Complexity, as well as lost to Cloud9 in the quarterfinals and went to prepare for the RMR tournament.

But not everything is so simple, because RobbaN's wards continued to surprise with a negative connotation. Yes, FaZe Clan got two wins. But in every match she was, if not weaker, then definitely not stronger than her rivals.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over GamerLegion with a score of 28:25.
• Victory over fnatic with a score of 19:17.

Best FaZe Clan maps:

• Nuke - 90% win rate.
• Inferno - 82% of wins.
• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Overpass - 60% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.

Do not forget that the European team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.

Sprout form

The 31st team of the world ranking quieted down a little, although it became a small sensation of the first open qualification, where it completely took the first line.

As for the actual results, here the Danish team failed a couple of qualifying championships, and also stalled in the Elisa Invitational Fall 2022.

However, at the start of IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, BERRY's men have already won two victories, even if they were a little lucky with the draw. In any Sprout plays strongly, first of all, in tactical terms.

Latest Sprout results:

• Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over SAW with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to the Bad News Eagles 1:2.
• Victory over forZe with a score of 19:17.
• Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 16:12.

Best Sprout cards:

• Ancient - 100% win rate.
• Vertigo - 83% of wins.
• Mirage - 80% of wins.
• Inferno - 75% of wins.
• Overpass - 55% of wins.

It is worth noting that the Danish team refuses both Dust 2 and Nuke.

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — Sprout

For some reason, it seems to me that Sprout will choose Ancient, since FaZe Clan has obvious problems here. On all other maps, it's hard for me to assess the chances of the Danish team, although now FaZe Clan is clearly playing weaker than their capabilities.

As for karrigan and the company, there may again be problems in the game. Moreover, the main concern of FaZe Clan is the lack of fresh ideas, which is why incidents happen.

Well, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap (+1.5) for the Sprout team.
