Match Prediction: G2 Esports - FaZe | CS2 (CS:GO)
FACEIT Major: London 2018The teams faced for the last time in the finals of ECS Season 5 at the beginning of June and then, FaZe Clan was stronger, who managed to beat the opponent with a score 2:0 on de_inferno and de_mirage.
FaZe Clan has clearly lost their shape recently because they hadn’t managed to enter the top four at the last two championships - the guys finished ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 on the 7th-8th place and the roster placed 5th-6th at DreamHack Masters Stockholm 2018. In the first match of New Legends Stage, NiKo and the company were defeated by BIG, after which lost to Natus Vincere and beat Mousesports. It’s worth to notice that NiKo and the company have been gaining momentum at the championship and look more dangerous now than on the first gaming day, which has been proved by the victory over TyLoo.
G2 eSports, in turn, replaced a few players on the main roster, after which was not able to reach the tier-1 level. The team plays very bad and would be unlikely to pass the Minor if they had to, however, some bright moments appear in the team’s play sometimes due to a high individual play of some esportsmen. At FACEIT Major: London 2018 - New Legends Stage, the French managed to prevail over HellRaisers in additional rounds and lost to compLexity and MiBR without a chance. Shox and the company prevailed over Cloud9 in the last match, however, this match looked very awkward.
Bookmakers consider FaZe Clan to be an obvious favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.2, while G2 eSports’ triumph is equal to 4.3. We are of their opinion and also think that the European mix should beat the French without major problems.
