FaZe vs FURIA Prediction: Last Chance for One of the Opponents

Prediction for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 match, which will take place on December 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

FaZe

The G2 series could have been a very telling one for FaZe, showing viewers and experts alike just how ready the team was to fight for the top spots. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a failure, as the team of karrigan only won 7 rounds on two maps. The frozen + ropz duo also failed to make an impact, with a total of only 38 kills and a completely negative K-D.

This defeat is also significant because not a single G2 player put in a solo performance that would have led to such a rout. On the contrary, the Samurai tried to act in a cohesive and measured manner, so none of the leaders statistically broke away. Now, the defeated European side have exactly one night to correct the structural flaws.

FURIA

The Brazilian derby, which ended in dramatic but friendly fashion, could be FURIA's last success of the tournament. The team showed in Shanghai that the current squad is viable and can compete for mid-to-high spots in the top tournaments next season, but at the moment the Brazilians are feeling their own ceiling. Two consecutive losses to experienced teams and a hard-fought victory over paiN showed that FURIA are still hostage to a region that is not the most competitive, and this factor can hinder them even against a weakened team like FaZe.

A few words should be said about the legendary FalleN , who on the 7th of December set the absolute sniper record in the history of Counter-Strike. The FURIA captain is now the top fragger on the majors, and in the future only m0NESY or ZywOo will be able to overtake him. 

Expert Betting Tips

No matter how hard FURIA tries, and no matter how FaZe falls, this is a match between the favourite and the underdog. The European team's players are well aware that they are on the brink of transfers, non-renewed contracts and the end of the road under the FaZe banner. This environment, strangely enough, is conducive and allows to reach heights, which was demonstrated days earlier. FURIA is way weaker than the previous opponents, which will allow Karrigan and his teammates to realise such a small but useful lead for us in 4 rounds, even if the series will be prolonged to 3 maps.
