FaZe Clan vs Rare Atom: BLAST Premier Match Prediction
FaZe Clan will take on Rare Atom in their opening match at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown on August 21.

Being the favorite, the team lost to SAW in a tough fight with a score of 1:2. We emphasize that at the moment, the "fazes" are still far from their optimal form, so it is quite possible that they will not be able to show a good result at the upcoming event. By the way, now they have more than 60% win rate only on two maps.

Current form
Rare Atom are ranked 81st in the world rankings and have no serious achievements behind them. Within their region, the team can still show a good game and stay at the top, but on the world stage they do not pose much of a threat to many opponents. At the beginning of the month, the Chinese played in the XSE Pro League, where they reached the semi-finals, but lost to Tyloo with a score of 0:2 in that stage. It is noteworthy that RA have never lost on Inferno, so there is a high probability that they will take this map as their pick.
