On August 16, we are expecting an interesting quarterfinal match, in which SAW will take on FaZe Clan. The Portuguese have unexpectedly reached this stage, but previously they showed a great game and surprised the fans. On the other hand, there are very experienced karrigan and company, who are eager to fight for another title. Is it worth betting on the daring young guys or should you give preference to the "seasoned old hands"? You will find out from our betting tip

Command Analysis

Current form

SAW really showed their other side at this championship. The team, which constantly plays at the tier-2 level, fights back and beats powerful opponents. The team has already, one might say, jumped above its head, because it probably did not expect to end up in the quarterfinals and play on a big arena. Let us recall that the Portuguese beat G2 (2:0), and secured their success in the confrontation with TheMongolz (2:1), but they were no longer able to cope with Natus Vincere (1:2), although they imposed a tight fight on the yellow-blacks and brought the matter to the third map.

FaZe Clan

Current form

FaZe Clan did not arrive at this event in the best shape. The team was stalling, but still made it to the quarterfinals. Before that, it had only lost to Vitality (1:2), and in subsequent encounters with Falcons (2:0) and Liquid (2:1) it celebrated victories. At the same time, in the confrontation with the "Liquids", the "FaZes" made some unthinkable comeback from a score of 1:11 on Mirage and won in overtime - 16:13. This strong-willed victory probably gave FaZe confidence in their abilities, but several days have passed since then, so the memories, of course, have cooled.

Tip and bets

TipSAW with handicap (+1.5) on cards

1.63

SAW looked great in the previous matches. The Portuguese were able to take a map even against Natus Vincere, who are the main contenders for the title. FaZe Clan previously showed an unconvincing game and literally miraculously got to the quarterfinals, making an incredible comeback in the match with Liquid. Of course, the arena will support the "fazes" more and, perhaps, they will end up in the semifinals, but at their peak, the Portuguese are obliged to win.

We bet on SAW to win with a handicap of (+1.5) on cards for 1.63
