FaZe Clan and paiN will meet in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022. I don't think that the Brazilian team will be able to show themselves in this championship, because there is also the world ranking leader who does not play on the Vertigo map.
In addition, FaZe Clan had enough time to exhale after Dallas and properly prepare for the championship in order to once again prove to everyone their viability and not an accident of their spring dominance on the stage.
FaZe Clan form
The first team of the world ranking recently played at IEM Dallas 2022. It seemed that the team would win a major tournament again and finally consolidate its leadership status. This is exactly how the tournament began for the guys who confidently closed Encore and Vitality.
However, further on FaZe Clan managed to lose to ENCE and Cloud9, slightly falling short of expectations. After that, conversations began that the team did not train and other bullshit. But for now, Galacticos must push the limits, because next is Cologne, the failure of which the community will not forgive.
Latest FaZe Clan results:
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Encore with a score of 16:5.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to ENCE with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 1:2.
Best FaZe Clan maps:
- Nuke - 89% of wins.
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 64% of wins.
- Mirage - 64% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
I believe that the team will again want to abandon the Vertigo card.
Pain form
The 23rd team in the world ranking made it to the championship thanks to the victory at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 North America. Then the team had a good performance in the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 41 North America, during which they lost only once.
However, the Brazilians failed to qualify for the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 and won the ESEA Spring 2022 Cash Cup. However, paiN is severely lacking in experience, as the team has never really played in Europe, and remembering last year's major is such a pleasure.

At the same time, I personally remember that the Brazilian team has big problems with Mirage.
FaZe Clan meeting statistics — paiN
The teams have not met before.
Forecast for the match FaZe Clan — paiN
I don't really believe that the Brazilian team can compete with the leader of the world ranking. Moreover, all paiN statistics must be divided by two, since the difference between the regions is really significant.
In addition, FaZe Clan is unlikely to have scored on preparation, since the team has already failed one championship. At the same time, cards cannot be called a weak side of the team, which on a good day can play on Vertigo (not this time for sure).
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with a score of 2:0.
