On March 19, Team Vitality and FaZe Clan will play their next match in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. We'll find out which team will be stronger soon enough.

Team Vitality: So far, so bad

Team Vitality managed to defeat Sprout 2-0 in the first match, experiencing big problems on the second map. This was a wake-up call, as the next match saw a real setback. The team lost to ENCE without a chance. The team failed the defensive side on both maps. ZywOo had a terrible match, scoring only 50 ADR. Everyone else also had a bad match and not a single player was able to reach a plus KD at the end of the meeting. Looking at the upcoming match, Team Vitality has a tough choice. What should they kick? On Dust2, the French are unstable and can fail at any time. It's dangerous to take their map. On Inferno, the forces are equal. Overpass was lost in the last face-off. And it was lost on the device rounds, as in each of the halves Team Vitality took the force after the lost pistol and reduced the opening series in their favor. Nuke looks like a good option, but the Bumblebees rarely pick this map as their own. Team Vitality cannot be called a favourite on either map, but the same Dust2 it can win, both teams are unstable on it. Here, it will depend on which player catches their wave.

FaZe Clan: Terrible

FaZe Clan is failing ESL Pro League Season 15 after winning IEM Katowice 2022. The team has already lost two matches in which it looked awful. Yes, Nuke against ENCE managed to win, but that is the only winning map. Karrigan, as in his best years, isn't killing at all. His KD for the two matches is 63-109. Minus 46! Broky and ropz are trying, but the rest are scoring poorly. Right now the team is the worst in the group and may very soon officially drop out of the tournament. Looking at the upcoming match, FaZe Clan most often takes its card Inferno, but will it risk to take it in a match against Team Vitality? Especially considering that it lost its last face-to-face match on Inferno. Of course, after that defeat, the team looked cool on this card, but the last match against the Outsiders makes you doubt it. The more so FaZe Clan has Mirage, on which its rival has zero percentage of wins. FaZe Clan in recent matches looked good on this map. Mirage or Overpass look the most adequate options for the team, on which it looks the favourite.
