Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - NaVi | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR AFaZe Clan and NAVI will play in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they will fight for the right to break into the "legends" of the upcoming major.
Interestingly, such a meeting might not have happened, but a few tournaments among the outsiders decided to bring together the two leaders of the current championship.
And here's where The International ѕtuperiority comes in, since FaZe Clan has not yet unlocked its full potential at Long Converge. Or the team just not turned on full power - there you decide.
In their turn, NAVI showed a very controversial Long Corner, almost flying away from Into the Breach. But then Born to Win woke up and returned to form, which made the expectations a little higher.
So here, summing up all the facts and personal feelings, I'd take a closer look at a map from the NAVI team that may try to break the eternal barrier.
FaZe Clan's form
The second team in the world rankings showed a great game within the decisive stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, for which they absolutely deservedly took the championship in their hands.
As for Long Converge in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the European team handled OG without much trouble.
However, in the second round FaZe Clan had difficulties, which, although did not prevent to outplay Apeks, but the situation is strange. In general, the team deservedly seems to be the favourite, but with its own quirks.
The latest results of FaZe Clan:
- A 2-1 win over FORZE.
- 2-1 victory over Natus Vincere.
- Defeated Cloud9 3-1.
- Beat OG 16-10.
- 16-13 victory over Apeks.
FaZe Clan's best scores:
- Inferno - 100% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
Let's not forget that the FaZe Clan team has long refused to use Vertigo.
NAVI form
The fourth team in the world ranking also performed well in the recent ESL Pro League Season 17, almost without problems reaching the play-offs. However, there Born to Win again reached the semi-finals, where Ledge or it was FaZe Clan.
As for Long Converge on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, here the Ukrainian team with great difficulty overcame Into the Breach, showing a very controversial attack on Inferno.
Next, however, NAVI managed to right themselves and shut Falcons out without a chance to regain confidence in their own abilities.
NAVI's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over the Outsiders.
- A 2-0 win over Heroic.
- 1-2 defeat of FaZe Clan.

FaZe Clan - NAVI match statistics
During the current season, the teams have played one meeting - FaZe Clan (2-1) won at ESL Pro League Season 17.
FaZe Clan vs NAVI.
It's hard to predict from afar, but for some reason I think that FaZe Clan is in a bit of a slump. So it's very likely that the Europeans will not be able to get into the game straight from the Long Sog.
On the other hand, Born to Win is gaining momentum in the course of the championship, and the boys clearly proved their intentions with the victory over Falcons.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on the cards (+1.5) for the NAVI team.
