FaZe Clan and Looking For Org will meet in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2022. Let's not forget that the opening matches of the championship will be held in the BO1 format. However, there is so little confidence in the prospects of the Australian team that the guys are unlikely to come close to ten taken rounds. And is it worth talking about FaZe Clan, which continues to win all the championships with one wicket.
FaZe Clan form
The first team of the world ranking became the winner of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, leaving virtually no questions. Yes, one could talk about the defeat from ENCE, but who cares, given the defeat of NAVI in the grand final.
In any case, now FaZe Clan rightfully occupies the first line and is the best team in the world. And at this championship, the team is unlikely to have problems, since it is very difficult to lose shape in a week. As for the meeting itself, karrigan and the company do not care what card will fall, since the opponent is an unequivocal outsider of the championship.
Latest FaZe Clan results:
- Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 16:8.
- 2:1 victory over Copenhagen Flames.
- Victory over NIP with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2:0.
Best FaZe Clan maps:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Nuke - 100% win rate.
- Inferno - 70% win rate.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 57% win rate
I believe that in BO1 the team will not risk the Vertigo card.
Looking For Org Form
The 70th team in the world rankings play in the big championships more often than the Renegades. However, there is practically no point in this, since the Australians, as they seemed to be a contender for defeat, continue to be considered outsiders of any such match.
As for the latest Looking For Org results, the team made it to IEM Dallas 2022 through a closed qualifier, where it was not without difficulties. But suffice it to recall that at the Asian RMR tournament the team lost to both Renegades and TYLOO, which clearly indicates real chances at a more serious championship.
Latest Looking For Org results:

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — Looking For Org
Both teams are comfortable playing Dust 2, and the Australians might also like the choice of Overpass. In any case, I do not see any intrigue in this confrontation, since we are dealing with a contender for two losses already on the first game day, as well as a candidate for victory in the tournament as a whole.
And what's the point of talking about the advantages or disadvantages of teams when Looking For Org is not the leading team in their region, while FaZe Clan won three major tournaments in a row. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with Handicap by rounds (-8.5).
