Outsiders: A good chance

Outsiders are facing the toughest tournament of their professional careers. The pressure on the players is immense, not only from the stands but also from the media personalities. The team needs to pull together 100% not only in terms of play but also morale. All the more so when they face Faze Clan in the second group stage match of ESL Pro League Season 15. Looking at the possible maps, things don't look so rosy for the Outsiders. Dust2, Mirage, Ancient itself she has been playing lately not so often and not very successfully. Vertigo Outsiders will not be allowed to play, Nuke will be banned by the Bears themselves. That leaves Overpass and Inferno. On the first map, Outsiders looks very good, but the problem is that Faze Clan plays this map well itself, now it has the best win rate exactly on Overpass. And the opponents there were very serious. It's hard to call Outsiders a favorite on this map. Although it's the best thing the Bears have in their arsenal. With Inferno, it give or takes the same story. The team has performed well in recent matches, but the Europeans are very good on it. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Outsiders on any map.

FaZe Clan: Good shape

FaZe Clan has been playing great since the arrival of ropz. The team finally got that missing firepower, the lack of which prevented the team to fight for the highest places. Now that problem is gone, but the team can't relax, especially now that FaZe Clan is in a very tough group in the ESL Pro League Season 15. In the last tournament, the team won. And they did it very confidently. In the final match, FaZe Clan has outplayed G2 Esports 3-0. In recent matches, the Europeans have often picked Inferno and showed excellent results on it. If their opponent takes Overpass as their map, FaZe Clan will pick Inferno. In addition, in the last face-to-face match, karrigan and co were able to outplay their opponent on this map. The guys may also consider Mirage, but it's less believable, even though Outsiders doesn't play this map in the best way.
