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

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We have reached the final group stage of IEM China 2024. Teams are left to determine the last participant of play-offs, and we will witness it.

And the last participant of the play-offs will be FaZe Clan - FlyQuest. Quite an unexpected pair, as for the final place in play-offs, nevertheless this game is waiting for us.

Let's find out who from the pair FaZe Clan - FlyQuest will play in the main stage of IEM China 2024, and which of the teams will be one step away from success.

Let's go.

FaZe Clan uniforms

We open the match analysis with the analysis of FaZe Clan's form. In this match they will play in the status of favourite with odds to win at 1.14.

One of the most stable teams of the last season has quite an extensive record in the first half of the year. However, it predominantly consists of "near" top results.

From the main achievements - getting into the top three at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 and winning at ESL Pro League Season 17. Also this year FaZe got the award for the 4th season of Intel Grand Slam, enriched by $1,000,000.

Speaking of award tournaments, there was less luck here. Top-12 at IEM Rio 2023, and Top-4 at IEM Dallas 2023. At the only Major e in the season FaZe did not cope with the tension, but made it to TOP-8.

Before the Long Conference IEM Cologne 2023 they attended two tournaments of BLAST series: Spring Final 2023 and Fall Groups 2023. At the Finals they were ranked Top 6, and at the Fall Groups 2023 they were in the top three, earning themselves a slot at the Autumn Finals.

• FaZe Clan line-up: karrigan, rain, Frozen, ropz, broky.

Despite the ubiquitous Reshuffle and rather "average" results for the year, FaZe didn't change the main roster. However, there were some substitutions: FaZe presented a new coach, who became the legendary Pole NEO. On his post he replaced the legendary RobbaN and it affected FaZe's gameplay in IEM Cologne 2023, where FaZe took the top-12.

The setbacks continued from there onwards. At Gamers8 2023 FaZe Clan took a similar place (9-12), Ledgeiv at the Long Segment of the Vp tournament with the score 2-0.

Things didn't go too well at ESL Pro League Season 18. FaZe made it to the play-offs on the top grid of Group C, defeating 9Z Team and Fnatic, but in the match for seeding in the main stage they lost to NaVi with the score 0-2. However, FaZe didn't manage to play long at ESL Pro League Season 18: in the first play-offs match, which for FaZe started from the second stage, the team met MOUZ. The future EPL champions sent FaZe Clan home. As a result FaZe found themselves on the 9-12th place of the top tournament.

FaZe rehabilitated quite quickly. Already at IEM Sydney 2023 they triumphed with the victory over CoL in the grand final.

Thunderpick World Championship 2023 FaZe Clan have a great time. The titular European club passed the group stage without problems becoming the best team of the quartet B, and then took part in the play-offs of the championship.

The first opponent for FaZe in the play-offs of Thunderpick World Championship 2023 was MOUZ. A serious opponent, but FaZe did well: 2-1 in favour of the champions of IEM Sydney 2023.

Later MOUZ played against C9 in the match for the final of the tournament and won. They finished what they started with a match against Vp in the grand finals of Thunderpick World Championship 2023, becoming the champion of the $500,000 online tournament.

At CS Asia Championship 2023 FaZe confidently made their way to the play-offs through Group B. Having taken unquestionable TOP-1 the team went directly to the semi-finals of the tournament. FaZe then went head-to-head: first they defeated ENCE 2-1 and in the grand final they defeated MOUZ 2-0.

The last tournament before the BLAST Premier: World FInals 2023 was the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023. There FaZe took the top 2, Ledgeiv in the Vitality Grand Final.

At BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023 FaZe, playing with substitutes, managed to take the top 1 in their group. They took turns beating Heroic and then G2. At this rate they reached the grand final, but there Ledge or Vitality. The outcome was almost identical at BLAST Premier: World Final 2023, where FaZe again lost to Vitality in the grand final.

Before the performance at IEM Katowice 2024 they visited BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024. There FaZe very confidently took the top 1 in their group, thus securing a ticket to Spring Finals 2024. IEM Katowice 2024 also went very well: FaZe managed to reach the grand finals, but they didn't have enough strength for the match with the loaded Spirit. As a result FaZe lost the Grand Final of Katowice with the score 0-3.

Next was PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A, where they finished in the top 5 after losing to Eternal Fire. At the PGL CS 2 Major Copenhagen 2024 FaZe started with a defeat by Heroic, but then won against FURIA. Next, a winless loss to Eternal Fire, a win over Imperial, and a win over Complexity to advance to the Major play-offs. FaZe made their debut at IEM China 2024 with a win over Nemiga Gaming, but after a 0-2 total loss to Astralis. But in the lower grid, where FaZe played Cloud9, we saw the very TOP-1s of the world, who shut down C9 2-0 on class.

FaZe Clan Mapple

The best map FaZe - Mirage. They played 12 matches and won 9 of them.

Next were Overpass with 8 matches and 5 wins. They play Nuke (7 matches, 4 wins), Inferno (9 matches, 5 wins). Worse is Ancient with 3 wins in 6 matches, and worst of all was Anubis. His FaZe was picked 7 times, but played with a winrate of 42%.

FlyQuest Form

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of FlyQuest's playing form. In this match the Australians will play the second number with disappointing chances to win and odds of success around 5.

FlyQuest is a new name in the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene, but a familiar one in North America. The club is known for its League of Legends team and is now ready to expand into the Counter-Strike arena.

The choice of the American club fell on the Australian squad Greyhound. Now the American team is represented by the following players.

• FlyQuest lineup: INS, aliStair, Liazz, Vexite, dexter.

The lineup of the then Grayhound dominated the home arena in the Pacific region, and not because of this constantly played on the international stage. Thus, in 2023 the Australians played almost everywhere: IEM Katowice 2023, EPL Season 17, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, IEM Dallas 2023, EPL Season 18 and so on. However, no significant results were achieved, and the best performance with a stretch can be called TOP-16 at IEM Dallas 2023.

In 2024, they played at several qualifiers, again in their region, and again led, but almost everywhere. Won qualifiers at IEM China 2024, OneQode Frontier, but failed at the most important moment - at RMR. There Ledge and Lynn Vision, thus missing PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024.

IEM China 2024 the team started with a rather unexpected victory over the top 8 PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024, the club C9. Next, they fought Vp, but lost with a 1-2 score and fell to the bottom of the grid. In the match against Nemiga Gaming, they won 2-0 on two dops, thus finding themselves in the play-offs duel.

FlyQuest Mapple

FlyQuest look good on 3 maps at once. They are Overpass, Vertigo and Anubis with 5 matches and 3 wins on each.

The most played map is Ancient. BIG have played 14 matches there and have 57% wins.

The most unlucky map is Inferno with two wins and two losses. The worst map is Mirage (9 matches, 33% wins).

History of personal meetings FlyQuest - FaZe Clan

This will be the debut match between FlyQuest and FaZe Clan.

Predicted result of FaZe Clan vs FlyQuest at IEM China 2024

In this match my bet is on FaZe. The top 1 team of the world should run over the Australians on class. Although FlyQuest can surprise, we can see that in terms of teamwork they are far from FaZe level grands.

The result: FaZe win with the score 2-0.
