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

FaZe Clan and Vitality will meet in the second round of IEM Rio Major 2022. This is really an entertaining duel in which two favorites to win the Major will face each other.

At the same time, FaZe Clan confirmed the idea that they are in suboptimal conditions, having problems with maintaining the advantage, as well as the team continues to sag in shooting.

In turn, Vitality is still experiencing its longstanding problems. And if not unexpected decisions, then the team often disappears from the server. In general, in this match I will trust the statistics and naked numbers, while the game of the Danish-French team has not been impressive for a long time.

FaZe Clan form

The first team of the world ranking failed in the framework of ESL Pro League Season 16. Moreover, even at the group stage, the European team was defeated by G2, as well as in the quarterfinals it lost to Cloud9.

Then FaZe Clan went to IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, where, on the one hand, they finished undefeated and took first place. However, at the same time, the team had problems in matches with not the strongest opponents, which were given out by seeding.

Well, at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, RobbaN's wards managed to miss a great advantage in the game against Cloud9, for which they paid with their defeat.

Let's not forget that the European team traditionally refuses the Vertigo card.

Form Vitality

The second team of the world ranking played terribly in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, where, as the players said, Vitality did not give all their best at 100%.

But here the Danish-French team came to IEM Rio Major 2022, where the first troubles immediately arose. And only from the fifth attempt, the wards of zonic made their way into the "legends", although the aftertaste was not pleasant.

Already in the "legends" Vitality stalled again, having managed to lose to NAVI. It is clear that the team played cool with the center of the map, but was outplayed by the opponent for obvious reasons.

Vitality's latest results:

• Lost to GamerLegion with a score of 10:16.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 12:16.
• Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 2:0.

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — Vitality

For me personally, Vitality didn't bring something to the championship that you can cling to. Moreover, it seems that the team takes the rounds on unusual decisions, which are simply not enough for the entire series.

Yes, FaZe Clan had a terrible start in the championship in terms of the final result. But still, this team remains almost the main favorite.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the FaZe Clan team.
