OK, so FaZe is 2nd in Group C with three wins, two losses, and +40 round difference, while forZe is 3rd in Group B with three wins, two losses, and +21 round difference. Since the winner advances to the next stage and the loser is eliminated, we will have a hell of a match. The odds favor FaZe, of course, since they are FaZe, but let's see deeper into this matchup and try to analyze why is that the case.

FaZe is better ranked, they won 2 out of the last three matches, and at the moment they are in better shape than their opponents. Their rounds lost during wins is 9,46, which is better than forZe's 10,52, and their round won during losses is 12,20, while forZe has 13,80, which is worse. FaZe's first pick is Dust2, where they have a 56% win rate, which is their most played map x9, while forZe on D2 has an 80% win rate on five played maps, again we can see that this goes to forZe unfortunately.

forZe, on the other side, won one in the last three matches, and they are ranked worse. But the good thing is that their three players are better than FaZe's two. Niko 1,25, and coldzera 1,16 under xsepower 1,20, facecrack 1,11 and jerry 1,07 win rating. For them, Inferno is the first pick with an amazing 90% win rate on ten played maps; it is their best map with a winning streak x4 while FaZe also has a nice performance there with an 80% win rate on five played maps.

I will go with a big bet on FaZe, this is an important tournament for them, and four map win streak looks great on them.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
