Maç Tahmini: FaZe Clan - IHC | Counter-Strike (CS2)

FaZe Clan and IHC will meet in the semifinals of the lower bracket of the IEM Katowice 2023 group stage, where they will play for the right not to leave the tournament, and also to continue the fight for the third ticket to the playoffs from group A.

Perhaps, in this case, there is even nothing to comment on, since the Mongolian team explodes the brain and makes incredible dirt. Okay with the Brazilians, but on the eve of IHC took out Cloud9, forcing them to think about an unsuccessful replacement for buster, which is downright bad.

However, FaZe Clan looks pretty cool right now, so I wouldn't wait for a repeat of the Rio de Janeiro incident when the team flew off the Bad News Eagles.

So here I would do without sensationalism and look at how the Mongolian team will go home, or prepare for ESL Pro League Season 17, which is just around the corner.

FaZe Clan form

The third team of the world ranking performed well in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they won three victories and lost only one map.

And at the start of IEM Katowice 2023, the European team dealt with Team Spirit without any problems, showing a confident game against the backdrop of a pliable opponent.

However, on the eve of FaZe Clan was actually defeated, as the guys were moved by G2, showing that not only karrigan can play quickly. However, I would not think that after one defeat the team will lose heart and fly out of the tournament.

Latest FaZe Clan results:

• Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over OG with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over OG with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
• Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.

Best FaZe Clan maps:

• Inferno - 86% of wins.
• Ancient - 71% of wins.
• Mirage - 57% of wins.
• Nuke - 50% win rate.

Let's not forget that the European team continues to refuse the Vertigo card.

Form IHC

The 36th team of the world ranking started off quite well in the new season, having managed to qualify for the upcoming big tournaments ESL Pro League Season 17 and IEM Brazil 2023.

However, the main success was expected by the Mongolian team further, as it not only failed to leave the Play-In, but managed to close out paiN Gaming and FURIA in order to get into the group stage.

Here, it would seem, IHC ran out of steam, having been defeated by Team Liquid. However, the Mongols had just taken Cloud9 forward with their feet, having avenged their defeat at the start of the championship. And now it becomes very interesting, although each time it starts to bother.

Latest IHC results:

• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 5:16.
• Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2:0.

Best IHC Cards:

• Nuke - 91% win rate.
• Ancient - 86% of wins.
• Anubis - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 53% of wins.

Interestingly, the Mongolian team also refuses the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — IHC

Let's do without long preludes, since almost everyone is beginning to believe in the IHC phenomenon. And if there was any problematic team here, there would be an option to believe in the Mongolian team and pick a steep odds.

However, FaZe Clan is unlikely to stand on ceremony and do the job quickly. In other words, RobbaN's men are in good condition to succumb to the general trend and lose to IHC.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team with a score of 2:0.
