Match Prediction: Gambit Esports - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2022Gambit and FaZe Clan will compete for the right to reach the IEM Katowice 2022 semi-finals and play against Heroic. There is a clear favorite in this match, because during the tournament Gambit greatly improved their game, while FaZe Clan did not have time to reach the peak of their form. Therefore, in this case, everything depends on the Russian team, which can unpleasantly surprise the opponent.
Gambit form
The second team of the world ranking failed at the start of the group stage of IEM Katowice 2022, unexpectedly losing to NIP. However, further the team began to improve not only their game, but also the results, as they managed to close Copenhagen Flames and Vitality. The icing on the cake was a confident victory over NIP, during which Gambit decided all the issues at the start of the series by starting the enemy offensive pick. Plus, the team quickly adjusted to their new playstyle, which may come as a surprise to FaZe Clan.

At the same time, the Russian team has not played Nuke for a long time.
FaZe Clan form
The ninth team in the world ranking, on the contrary, had a great start at IEM Katowice 2022, outplaying Team Liquid and fnatic quite confidently. However, in the decisive match, the team gave the victory to NAVI, playing too imposingly. Although, according to the logic, FaZe Clan should have lost, it is unacceptable to make such mistakes. Another question concerns the composition of the team, which is at risk of being in the playoffs without rain, which is still sitting in its room in isolation.

- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.

Interestingly, in both cases, the teams played on Inferno, Ancient and Overpass.
Prediction for the match Gambit — FaZe Clan
It is difficult to predict in advance the cards that will be the choice of a particular team. But I can assume that FaZe Clan will continue to bend its line on Overpass. However, in general, the Russian team, based on the last games in the group, has gained a very good shape. And given that FaZe Clan releases games and gives comebacks, the situation for karrigan and the company becomes critical. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team.
