Match Prediction: Na'Vi - FaZe Clan | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2019 MajorNow Natus Vincere hold a position at Three Best CS:GO Rosters according to HLTV, and the CIS team is represented by two players that have got to Top Five players in 2018: electronic taking the 4 place and s1mple getting the first position. It says that the players from Natus Vincere have no problems with their individual skills if we don't say anything about Zeus and Edward, who in our opinion are losing their level. Success of the games held at IEM Katowice Major 2019, was changeable for Na’Vi. At the first battle with G2 Esports the players lost only seven rounds against the French while the match against Vitality resulted in overtime and ended by the score of 25-22 for Natus Vincere. At the battle for getting to the playoff against Liquid Na’Vi were fighting in a worthy way and in the end they lost 0-2 (14-16 on Mirage and 9-16 on Dust 2). The last game against AVANGAR was rather smooth and Natus Vincere got a win by the score of 2-0. Young players from Na’Vi are motivated enough to win and they are full of energy to win the upcoming match against FaZe.
FaZe is a rather strong opponent for Na’Vi and the Europeans have a good chance to win over the CIS collective. Now FaZe got the fifth position in the HLTV rating, and three players got to Top 20 Best Players in 2018. There rain took the 18 place, GuardiaN — 11, while NiKo won the 3 position. At the first match of the Legends stage FaZe got an easy win over HR, after that they lost in an equal fight with Renegades and AVANGAR. At the match with compLexity they had to do their best as well as at the final battle with Cloud9. We can observe that FaZe played against not the strongest opponents and had to fight to get these victories. The fact that AdreN hasn't been playing for the roster for a long time and has changed his role and position in the team many times, makes us doubt about the success of the European collective.
We do not recommend to make an accurate bet for this match. It's better to make a bet on Natus Vincere. This result is evaluated as 1,5.
