Command Analysis

Team Liquid

Current form
Liquid closes the top 10 best teams in the world ranking. The team played its last official match almost a month ago, so it's hard to say what kind of game form DeMars DeRover's players will be in. It is also unclear whether the team played with the new siuhy member. The result of the training sessions will be visible in the first matches, but in the meantime, the bookmakers are making NAF with their partners a small underdog.
Liquid doesn't have a map where they can take everyone down. Dust2 is the best at 57%, and Ancient is the worst at 38%. Well, once again, this statistic was almost a month ago.
Interesting betting trends
- Liquid suffered the last two defeats dry
- In three of the last five matches, Liquid won at least one card.

FaZe Clan

Current form
FaZe is ranked higher in the world ranking table - ninth place. The NEO players didn't have such a long break, so in theory, the team shouldn't lose its playing form. This team, like the opponent, has a replacement. s1mple took vgoku's place in the team. It is still difficult to say whether there will be any benefit from this, because a new player is just joining the team.
FaZe has one card that they play significantly better than the others. This is Inferno. The percentage of Victoria on it is 82%. Ancient, on the other hand, is the only map with a Victoria percentage below 50-40%.
Interesting betting trends
- FaZe has suffered three recent defeats with a dry score.
- FaZe won two of the last three wins without giving his opponent a single card
Trends
The exact score is 1:2
Liquid has suffered two of its last five defeats with this score
3.63Tip and bets
Given the superiority in the choice of maps and the fact that Liquid had a long game break, we prefer FaZe. It is possible that the game will be equal and the winner will be determined in three cards, but still the second team inspires more confidence than the first team. We're betting that the Los Angeles team will be stronger.
Our prediction is that FaZe will win with a coefficient of 1.88
