Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - FURIA | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 17FaZe Clan and FURIA will meet in the second round of the ESL Pro League Season 17 play-offs. The winner of the clash will advance to the quarter-finals where they will face FORZE. Of course, that's a gift worth taking advantage of, although you can still argue about the Brazilians.
In general, there are questions about the game FaZe Clan, because respectable team can not give the card with a score of 1:14. And there's no need to make excuses, because such a card is given away once every few years, and even then on holidays.
In turn, the Brazilian team found the strength to beat fnatic, but there's something quite dead and in no way collapsed. In other words, FURIA is not impressive so far, and even in the group the team managed to swim.
So here I would dwell on a trivial victory of FaZe Clan. I will not speak for the defeat, because the Brazilians can unexpectedly get together. But as I see it, the favourite is clear in advance.
FaZe Clan's form
The seventh team of the world ranking performed well in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, although enough time has passed since then, and there the guys played with substitutions.
Next European team visited the IEM Katowice 2023, where they started relatively well. However, after that FaZe Clan began to flop, which resulted in their final loss to Team Liquid in the play-off stage.
As for the performances in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here RobbaN's wards started very confidently, but then again. As a result, the team was defeated by Vitality, where they made mistakes for several months ahead.

FURIA uniforms
Fifteenth team of the world ranking managed to fail in the recent IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, where after the initial defeat Permitta Esports managed to suffer two defeats from passing BIG and IHC Esports.
As for their performance in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, the Brazilian team lost only to MOUZ, but with three victories over Imperial Esports, Movistar Riders and BIG, they made the play-offs.
Here, FURIA could get past fnatic with a tenacious but far from convincing performance. In other words, the Brazilians have not impressed so far, which, in theory, could threaten the boys with a relegation from FaZe Clan.

- A 2-0 win over Imperial Esports.

Forecast for the match FaZe Clan - FURIA
I'm not sure we should expect a sensation here, because you never know with the Brazilians. What's more, FURIA usually fails in such matches, the more so because there are still some questions about their performance.
In turn, FaZe Clan had enough time to correct their mistakes. In other words, everything goes in favour of the favourite here. Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on FaZe Clan's victory.
