Vitality and FaZe Clan will play in the first defining match. Both teams successfully started at IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, which means that the winner of the pair will make it to the playoffs of the tournament. And it is all the more interesting to look at Galacticos against a stable team.

Vitality Form

The French are clearly on the run. After the silver medals at DreamHack Open Fall 2020, the second team of the planet set off to conquer the vastness of BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020. Vitality had practically no problems here, except for the first meeting with Complexity, where everything hung by a thread until the last rounds.

However, the team won such an important victory (2: 1) and moved on. Well, the Vitality event ended with two colorful, but so different victories over BIG. And if in the first match with the Germans everything was easy (2: 0), then in the second I had to sweat so as not to upset my fans (2: 1).

Vitality card pool:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Dust 2 - 75% wins.

It is important to note that we have not seen Train performed by the French for a long time. But there are chances that soon the team will pull up this map as well, becoming truly combat-ready against the background of the other giants.

FaZe Clan Form

The one who definitely surprises is FaZe Clan. The team finished DreamHack Open Fall 2020 on the 9th line, showing absolutely nothing. Moreover, after the championship, NiKo left the team, literally signing the death warrant for Galacticos. At BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020, FaZe Clan failed miserably, losing to BIG (1: 2) and Complexity (0: 2).

But what is most interesting, at the start of IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, the team decided to slam OG (2: 1), notably upsetting many analysts. But now FaZe Clan faces a more difficult task, namely Vitality.

Best FaZe Clan cards:

• Mirage - 54% wins.

Otherwise not bad, but could be better. At the same time, the team traditionally does not play on the Vertigo card, which is inadmissible in the current realities of the professional scene.

Personal meetings statistics

During the current season, the teams met six times, and what is most interesting, according to statistics, both teams won three times. At the same time, the last victory went to FaZe Clan at IEM New York 2020 Europe (2: 0).

Forecast for the match Vitality - FaZe Clan

Despite FaZe's victory, the French leave the impression of a team that knows their business. Vitality plays with a clear idea, starting not only from individual skill, but also from teamwork. And right now, Galacticos simply doesn't have that. Therefore, in this match I propose to bet on the Vitality team with the odds of 1.40.
