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

FaZe Clan and Tricked will meet as part of the SteelSeries Nova Invitational 2022 exhibition tournament. I don’t think the Danish team will be able to impose a fight on the favorite, because even without a full training cycle, FaZe Clan remains the best team in the world ranking.

Plus, Tricked itself failed the start of the second half of the season, having already lost several matches. Therefore, I see no point in inviting this team, if not for partnerships with the brand.

The first team of the world ranking went on a break as the winner of IEM Cologne 2022. It is clear that that final turned out to be equal, but the fact itself does not cancel the regalia of the champion.

As for rest, there are certain fears for the team, which has recently returned to full-fledged training. And there is a right to believe that FaZe Clan will slow down a little.

And I must say that in recent months the team has not played as aggressively and quickly as at the start of the season.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• Victory over 00NATION with a score of 2:0.

• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over NAVI with a score of 3:2.

• Inferno - 70% win rate.
• Ancient - 64% of wins.
• Mirage - 62% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 56% win rate
• Overpass - 56% of wins.

At the same time, the European team continues to refuse the Vertigo card.

Form Tricked

The 70th team of the world ranking became the second according to the results of the SDTV Invitational Series #1 and Dust2.dk Ligaen Season 20, after which they took a well-deserved rest with peace of mind.

However, the Danish team failed the first competitive week, as they managed to lose two matches within ESEA Season 42: Advanced Division - Europe. So there is also a tournament with strong opponents, which, I think, is too tough for Tricked.

Latest Tricked results:

• A victory over wannafly with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Spirit Academy with a score of 1:2.
• Defeat from MASONIC with a score of 0:2.
• Lost to EC Kyiv with a score of 10:16.
• Lost to Take Aim Gaming with a score of 7:16.

Best Tricked cards:

• Overpass - 71% of wins.
• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

In turn, the Danish team does not play on the Dust 2 map.

Prediction for FaZe Clan vs Tricked match

I doubt that the leader of the scene will give all the best, although assessing the chances of Tricked is a thankless task. And if the Danish team loses without a chance in BO1 at TIER-3 tournaments, then what's the point in expecting a sensation here. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with Handicap by rounds (-6.5).
