OG are poking Faze on Twitter, but that’s understandable as there was nothing else to do on social media earlier today – everything but Twitter was down. Real talk, though – there won’t be any love between these two, which means we’re in for a real cracker!
OG vs. Faze Odds
Here are the odds for this CSGO matchup:
The odds make it quite clear that this could be anyone’s game. The bookies slightly favor OG, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything going forward. That said, let’s kickstart out OG vs. Faze predictions by exploring what each of the two teams has to offer.
OG vs. Faze Betting Prediction
This year, OG and Faze met four times. The last h2h happened just last month on BLAST Premier Fall Groups. Overall, they’re 2:2… though Faze took the last match that eliminated OG from the event and pushed them down into the Showdown.
OG Betting Preview
OG have been in excellent form over the last two months. They won Spring Sweet Spring #2, placed second on IEM XVI Summer and finished third/fourth on ESL Pro League Season 14. In between the last two, though, they had a small mishap on IEM XVI Cologne where they got eliminated right off the bat.
Maps-wise, OG will fancy Dust 2 and Inferno. They are statistically superior on both of those maps… though I have to admit Faze Clan aren’t too far off either. Which maps should favor Faze, then? Mirage is the obvious number one choice for them, a remnant dating back to NiKo’s era. Additionally, Overpass and Ancient could be solid options too, depending on what OG ends up banning in the end.
Faze Betting Preview
Moving on with these OG vs. Faze betting predictions, let’s not forget about the second part of the equation, Faze Clan. They might not have been in the best of forms this year, but they’re in an upward spiral. Solid campaign on IEM XVI Cologne, followed by an unlucky EPL S14 group stage elimination bear the most importance.
But, then again, Faze Clan’s roster is packed with talent. Not just talent, mind you – a whole heap of experience too. Rain, olofmeister and karrigan are some of the most experienced players out there. When they’re on a roll, they form a rock-solid core. Twitzz and broky, on the other hand, are there for fragging input.
Wrapping Things Up
I guess we’re all done with the main part. Here’s the pick:
Why am I going with Faze here? Well, the odds are perhaps the highest they’ve ever been for this Faze Clan roster.
But, I don’t think it will come to that – Faze Clan players will rise up to the challenge tomorrow and push through to the ninth-place match, probably against Heroic.
