Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - Astralis | CS2 (CS:GO)
Roobet CupFaZe Clan and Astralis will meet in the Roobet Cup 2022 semi-final. Interestingly, the teams have not yet played each other this season, which makes it interesting to watch the Danes against the backdrop of the world ranking leader.
Although, given the not the most stable game from FaZe Clan, I am inclined to give a small discount to the Danish team. And on the eve of Astralis showed a good game with forZe, preparing for the opponent's pick, and then taking a comeback on Nuke.
In turn, FaZe Clan, on the one hand, outplayed ENCE. On the other hand, the team played too hard, and the 23 kills from karrigan on the Ancient map were not read in advance.
FaZe Clan form
The first team of the world ranking failed at the recent BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, where they stopped at the quarterfinal stage. I don’t think that there is any special point in reminding about the defeat from NAVI, but the fact remains.
As for the start of the Roobet Cup 2022, here FaZe Clan managed to lose to BIG, showing not the best game, but at the same time outplayed OG twice and made it to the playoffs.
Well, in the quarterfinals, RobbaN's wards unexpectedly closed ENCE with a score of 2:0, even managing to return on the Overpass map. But it's still hard for me to believe in the return of a team that is too fragmented in places.
Latest FaZe Clan results:

- Defeated by BIG with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over OG with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:0.
Best FaZe Clan maps:
- Nuke - 88% of wins.
- Inferno - 73% of wins.
- Overpass - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 60% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
- Ancient - 57% of wins.
It should be recalled that the team usually refuses the Vertigo card.
Astralis shape
The twelfth team of the world ranking missed BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 altogether, although they reached the final at Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022. But even there, the Danes lost to their compatriots from Heroic, once again leaving the tournament without a trophy.
As for the start at the group stage of Roobet Cup 2022, here Astralis made it out of a not very difficult group, defeating Movistar Riders and Complexity. It is also worth adding the defeat from Cloud9, where the team was simply closed and strangled on the way.
And yet, in their quarter-finals, the Danish team managed to show class, outplaying forZe by experience. And if Astralis prepares pointwise for the opponent again, then the team may try to impose its pace on the favorite.

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — Astralis
What can be analyzed at all if it decides randomly. First, the team can take three rounds in attack, and then give a tight comeback to defense and snatch victory. And this applies to both FaZe Clan and Astralis.
In essence, the Ancient peak is read from the Danes, for which FaZe Clan will also be ready. In turn, the leader of the world ranking will certainly want to push off from Overpass or Mirage. In general, it turns out a hodgepodge, and everything will be decided on the server.
Here I would recommend betting more on Total on cards 2.5, since I don’t expect to see another defeat from FaZe Clan, just as Astralis won easily in this series.
