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

FaZe Clan and Astralis will play in the Long Cognega round of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 group stage. It's interesting to watch the Danes' second coming in the LAN tournaments, especially as the opponent has obvious problems.

Of course, we are talking about FaZe Clan fatigue, as the team already does not take it out on luck, constantly talking about difficulties with communication during matches.

In turn, Astralis failed to shoot in the last IEM Dallas 2023, failing to cope with MOUZ in the quarterfinals. Still, the Danish team can surprise now, especially since the youngsters are gradually gaining experience. So here I would lean on the card from the Astralis team.

Form FaZe Clan

The third team of the world ranking played badly in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where, although managed to break into the play-offs, but in the quarterfinals deservedly lost to Heroic and went home.

Next, the European side took part in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where they beat Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid and Cloud9, but also lost to ENCE.

If we talk about the performance in the play-offs, here FaZe Clan managed to cope with G2 Esports, but then Ledge team lost to ENCE. Although the match was equal, in fact, the team has long been asking for a rest.

Recent results FaZe Clan:

• A 0-2 loss to ENCE.
• Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2-0.
• 2-1 victory over Cloud9.
• Beat G2 Esports 2-1.
• Defeat by ENCE 1-2.

• Mirage - 69% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Nuke - 55% wins.
• Inferno - 54% wins.

Let's not forget that the European squad is steadily giving up Vertigo.

Astralis form

The 25th team of the world ranking showed nothing at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, but immediately after that managed to take the second place at the Brazy Party 2023, losing in the finals to Cloud9.

After a short rest Danish team failed to play in qualification to Gamers8 2023, but immediately after that became the champion of CCT South Europe Series 4, beating Aurora, OG and Eternal Fire.

As for their performance at IEM Dallas 2023, Astralis posted wins over Team Liquid and Cloud9, but Ledge was defeated by ENCE to advance to the semi-finals. Well, in the ¼ finals, the team unexpectedly floundered, handing victory to MOUZ.

Astralis' latest results:

• A 2-1 victory over Eternal Fire.
• Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 19-17.
• Victory over Cloud9 by a score of 2-0.
• Defeat to ENCE by a score of 1-2.
• 0-2 defeat by MOUZ.

Astralis top scorers:

In turn, the Danish team has consistently given up on maps Anubis.

Forecast of the match FaZe Clan - Astralis

What can we say about the mapm? The fact that the Danish team does not play Anubis obviously plays into the hands of FaZe Clan. On the other hand, right now the Europeans can't boast about the stability of any map.

Moreover, Astralis looks quite good on Mirage, Overpass, and Ancient, where they can clearly impose their game. And it's worth building on that, the more so because we can see the obvious fatigue of FaZe Clan.

In general, The International is a heated match, in which the Europeans remain the favorites, but everything is not so simple. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on the Forum on map (+1.5) for the team Astralis.
