Meeting statistics

As for LAN tournaments, it’s exciting to observe the second coming of the Danes, especially given the opponent’s clear issues. Of course, we’re referring to FaZe Clan’s tiredness, as the team is no longer able to rely on luck and frequently complains about communication breakdowns during games.

On the other hand, after not managing to defeat MOUZ in the quarterfinals, Astralis failed to score at the most recent IEM Dallas 2023. Even so, the Danish team can potentially come as a surprise, particularly since that the younger players are increasingly gaining experience.

Looking at the odds of good CS: GO betting sites, FaZe are rather clear favorites here but even so, Astralis won’t give up without a fight...

The current form of FaZe Clan

The recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 saw the third-ranked team in the world play poorly, and despite making it to the playoffs, they fell to Heroic in the quarterfinals and were eliminated. The European squad then arrived at IEM Dallas 2023’s group stage, where they defeated Evil Geniuses, Liquid, and Cloud9 while losing to ENCE. If we talk about their performance in the playoffs, FaZe Clan successfully coped with G2 Esports, but then they lost to ENCE. Although the match turned out to be equal, in fact, it was clear that FaZe needed a rest already at this point of the season.

FaZe Clan’s best map is Mirage: 69% of wins. Let’s keep in mind that the European team consistently refuses the Vertigo card.

The current form of Astralis

The 25th-ranked team in the world didn’t perform at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, but shortly thereafter, they were able to finish second at the Brazy Party 2023, losing to Cloud9 in the championship match. The Danish team struggled in the Gamers8 2023 qualifiers after a brief break, but they won the CCT South Europe Series 4 championship right away, defeating Aurora, OG, and Eternal Fire en route. Regarding their participation at IEM Dallas 2023, Astralis beat Team Liquid and Cloud 9, however, they fell to ENCE in the battle to get to the semi-finals. Regardless, they suddenly collapsed in the quarterfinals, handing MOUZ the victory.

Overpass has the biggest map victory rate for Astralis, it’s a rate of 86%. The Danish team, meanwhile, regularly rejects the Anubis card.

Match analytics

What’s there to say regarding the cards? It’s obvious that the absence of Anubis by the Danish team benefits FaZe Clan. However, the Europeans can no longer claim stability on any map. On Mirage, Overpass, and Ancient, where they can obviously impose their game, Astralis additionally look quite excellent. Given that FaZe Clan are clearly exhausted, it’s worthwhile to focus on this.

The Europeans remain to be favorites in this exciting duel, although things aren’t entirely apparent. So in this scenario, we’d advise placing a wager on total maps over 2.5 for which PlanetOfBets set odds of 1.99.
