Maç Tahmini: FaZe Clan - GamerLegion | CS2 (CS:GO)

FaZe Clan and GamerLegion will play in the first round of IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A. Of course, the leader of the world rating is in terrible shape now, but we are looking at the background of the TIER-1 scene and our own rivals.

In turn, GamerLegion quite unexpectedly made it to the RMR tournament, although they did not even announce replenishment in the roster. And yet the team has already completed its task, although I personally do not believe that these guys will be able to qualify for the Major.

Therefore, in this situation, I will look at the match from the point of view of FaZe Clan's ability to finish the match quickly. Well, GamerLegion can only wish good luck, because, alas, I personally did not notice the prospects.

FaZe Clan form

The first team in the world ranking almost failed at the August BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. There, the European team became the second in the group, and after that managed to suffer one defeat in the Play-In.

Then FaZe Clan came to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, where they got four shaky victories, and at the same time lost to G2 without a chance. Looking ahead, the first bells were heard back then.

Well, in the playoffs, the team only drew the line of its so-called "era", because after a strained victory over Complexity, RobbaN's wards failed to cope with Cloud9. To put it bluntly, FaZe Clan is no longer impressive in terms of shooting, and semi-annual strategies have long been known to everyone.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 1:2.

Best FaZe Clan maps:

• Nuke - 89% of wins.
• Inferno - 82% of wins.
• Mirage - 67% of wins.
• Overpass - 60% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 50% win rate.

Do not forget that the European team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.

Form Gamer Legion

The 59th team in the world rankings shook up their roster in the off-season. It is noteworthy that even the organization itself did not expect immediate results from the changes, but miscalculated.

As a result, GamerLegion managed to qualify for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR, albeit on the fourth try. Yes, the team did not stand out with a cool game, but the fact remains that the guys are among the lucky ones.

However, we should not forget about the fly in the ointment, because GamerLegion not only had a rest for more than a month, but also managed to fail in the open qualifiers for ESL Challenger at DreamHack Rotterdam 2022.

Gamer Legion latest results:

• Victory over Sashi with a score of 16:5.
• Defeated by SAW with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Forward with a score of 2:1.

• Lost to Young Ninjas with a score of 14:16.

Best GamerLegion maps:

• Nuke - 50% win rate.

It should be noted that so far the team has not managed to play on two maps - Inferno and Overpass.

Prediction for the FaZe Clan match — GamerLegion

Another passing match, in which there is no intrigue from the word "absolutely". Yes, FaZe Clan fails in almost every second match. Yes, this team does not have fresh ideas, and luck and shooting are no longer enough for sensational victories.

However, GamerLegion is not the kind of team that can mess up the balance of power and defeat such an opponent. Well, the difference in class is too big, even despite the BO1 format.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with Handicap by rounds (-5.5).
