Liquid managed to advance to the Group B finals through the top net. On the way, they beat Team Spirit (2:1) and GamerLegion (2:0). But luck also played a role here - FaZe faltered and did not meet team cadiaN at an earlier stage. Is Team Liquid ready to compete with FaZe for the first place in the group?
There are a lot of problematic places in the game of Liquid now. This roster is very strong individually - YEKINDAR, Twistzz, and NAF have long been highly rated on the CS2 tier-1 stage. The captain qualities of cadiaN are undeniable; he led Heroic to the top of the HLTV team rankings and played in the finals of the Rio CS:GO Major in 2022. The team is playing great on defense, scoring 65% of rounds for the CT side. But the stats say that Team Liquid is not the best at the tournament by any metric.
The problem is different: Liquid got very lucky with the grid and the opponents in Group B. Team Spirit was bleeding from the absence of donk and magixx, and GamerLegion did not gather their strength for the next match after the sensation. In the future, Team Liquid will fight for trophies and adjust all the processes in the team, but with what they have, it will be very problematic to win FaZe.
FaZe
Karrigan and company allowed GamerLegion to make a sensation in the first match and lost with the score of 0:2. In the lower net, FaZe took revenge from the Legionaries (2:1) and before that, simply destroyed Team Spirit (2:0). The team expectedly made it to the finals. What do they have to win Group B?
First of all, there is stability. Ropz is still good, and in combination with frozen they can do wonders on maps. Only rain stats have suffered from the reshuffle, but the Norwegian shows through the game that he has adapted to the new roles and can still solve important moments. Let's not forget about karrigan as well - the captain can make few kills, but he activates when FaZe is doing worse than planned. Broky just steadily performs the work of a sniper and sets the pace in pistol rounds - +11 for seven maps. FaZe has problems with grenades; players do little damage with them and rarely make kills after blinding, but they realize the minority better than many others (40%).
There is elementary trust in karrigan's team that his team will not be lost on the server in the final match. FaZe played in five finals for the last six months and won three. The match for the exit to the spring BLAST final is not comparable to the battle for the titles, but here is a serious opponent with existing problems after the reshuffle. FaZe handles such opponents with ease and confidence.
Expert Betting Tips
