FaZe vs Virtus.pro Prediction: No Second Title for the Bears

Prediction for Thunderpick World Championship match which will take place on November 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The FaZe Clan team impressed us with their form at the start of the CS2 era, winning the inaugural IEM Sydney LAN final. Finn karrigan Andersen made a bold choice in map selection for this tournament, and it paid off as his team defeated MOUZ in the semifinals on Anubis. It happened just one day after winning their first-ever CS2 LAN tournament 13-0 over ENCE. The FaZe players then proved their mettle on Vertigo, despite only having played the map once last year.

The trio of Twistzzz, ropz, and rain showed incredible play, and the victory in Sydney was no fluke. FaZe's first major online tournament could also be on the line if the European team can continue to play like this against the tough Bears.

A VP win at the IEM Rio Major in November 2022 seems long ago. Failure to qualify for the BLAST Paris Major left a sad mark on their history, especially considering the decision to bench KaiR0N- in the middle of RMR in a last-ditch attempt to qualify.

Of course, on good days, Jame's tactics are still capable of leading VP to victories over the best teams in the world, but those days are becoming rare. It's unlikely that VP will stand out in a LAN tournament with their current roster, but they can win online battles, as they did earlier this week in the Roobet Cup tournament. The Bears are now actively training, and they are becoming more stable with each online match, which makes their chances against FaZe anything but theory.

Both teams are worthy of this final, but FaZe's players look way better. Also, we expect this game to last three maps.
