Command Analysis

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan are clearly not as good as they used to be, but they shouldn't be written off. Previously, the team alternated between successful matches and defeats. Within the framework of this event, they managed to deal with Cloud9 (2:1), but in the next match against G2 they lost with a score of 1:2.
In the encounter with G2, the "phases" played well on the first map, but on the two following maps they scored exactly six rounds. All players, with the exception of frozen, finished that game with negative results.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

NIP are ranked 17th in the world and haven't shown really good results at a high level for a long time. The Swedes had a poor start to this tournament and lost to G2 Esports (0:2), but in another match against Cloud9 they celebrated a victory with a score of 2:1.
That meeting against the "clouds" turned out to be incredibly tense, but thanks to a great game by r1nkle, the "ninjas" still managed to put the squeeze on their opponent. The Ancient pick was also not without it, where the team currently has a 71% win rate.

2.25Tip and bets
We wouldn't blindly believe in FaZe's success in this match. The "Fazes" are certainly superior to their opponents in class, but they have not been playing ideally lately. They rarely won with a score of 2:0, while NIP literally dealt with Cloud9 in the last match. We think that at least at their pick the "ninjas" will achieve victory.
We bet on NIP to win with a handicap (+1.5) on cards for 1.90 in the Winline bookmaker
