FaZe found themselves in the quarter-finals of IEM Katowice 2024 in a fantastic way. The team could have been written off with the score of 1:11 on Mirage against Team Liquid, but karrigan and company hung on to the pistol round, took Liquid into overtime and snatched a truly heroic victory both on the map and in the series. On such a mood FaZe can reach the next grand final, especially as the grid allows to do it.
The karrigan team has never shown crazy statistical indicators, they are strong due to other qualities. The last map with Team Liquid showed the audience FaZe's peak capabilities on the server - no panic in the most difficult situations, the ability to rely on each other, clearly structured game and understanding in every moment. In Cologne broky started hard, not everything was going well for ropz, and in these moments the veteran rain turned on. The Norwegian will celebrate his 30th birthday in August, but at IEM Cologne 2024 he plays as if he is still very young and hungry for victories. According to HLTV statistics, he has a rating of 1.12 at the tournament, and in matches against teams from the top 5 of the world leaderboard the numbers go up to 1.2.
FaZe habitually experiences a slump in the summer, and that explains why the path to the playoffs is so difficult. In just four series in Cologne, the team played four overtime games and played a total of 246 rounds. Among all playoff participants, this is the highest, with SAW coming next with 169 rounds.
SAW
The Portuguese were the surprise guests in the final stage of the tournament in Cologne. It was partly luck that G2 Esports didn't prepare for SAW in earnest. However, afterwards the Portuguese beat The MongolZ and gave a fight to Natus Vincere, losing only on the third map. For a playoff organisation, IEM Cologne 2024 is the highest achievement in history. The players have nothing to lose, they have already achieved a high result, and now they will enjoy the noise of the stands and compete against a very serious opponent.
SAW plays fast, hard and is not afraid of open shootouts. The individual level of the players is noticeably lower than that of FaZe, and it was felt in the games with The MongolZ, G2 Esports and Natus Vincere. The Portuguese tried to surprise, and they succeeded. SAW plays better in attack (60%) than in defence (41%) and uses the majority (80%). A big load is on the shoulders of ewjerkz - the riffler contributed a lot to the victories over G2 Esports and The MongolZ, and when Natus Vincere covered the Portuguese on the second and third maps, SAW's game fell apart.
As mentioned earlier, the players had nothing to fear - they squeezed the maximum. The Portuguese had met FaZe before, and only sporadically created serious problems. The match in Cologne will be the first for the ewjerkz team in front of big stands.
Expert Betting Tips
Despite the fact that FaZe will be the clear favourite here, let's not completely write off the Portuguese. FaZe plays either three cards or two, but heavy. SAW in Group A also clung to full HE3. It is quite likely that here too the teams will not reveal the winner on their peaks, and will clash in the decider. But the general outcome is quite clear - karrigan and company will make it to the semi-finals.
