BIG and FaZe will meet in the Group C opening match of the DreamHack Open Fall 2020, which is going to be one of the most exciting games of the opening round. We don’t have a clear favorite in this Best of 3 encounter, so the excitement is guaranteed on Thursday.
BIG Team Stats and Latest Results
BIG is not playing well at the moment as they suffered four defeats in the last five matches and displayed disappointing performances at the IEM New York 2020 Europe, where they finished in the 5th position after losing to OG and FaZe. They were in a fine form of four consecutive wins before that negative run. BIG won seven of the previous 13 matches.
During the last three months, BIG was very strong on Dust2 (80.0% win rate) and played well on Mirage (62.5%), while they failed to impress on Vertigo (28.6%) and Nuke (36.4%). BIG is playing with the current lineup since August 2020 and appeared on 47 maps with a record of 25 wins and 22 losses. The team members are tabseN (1.07 rating), tiziaN (0.96), syrsoN (1.09), XANTARES (1.07), and k1to (0.96).
FaZe Team Stats and Latest Results
Following weak displays at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe, FaZe improved at the IEM New York 2020 Europe and won the title there with a big 3-0 victory over OG in the Grand final. They got revenge for the loss to OG previously at that tournament and fully deservedly won $70,000. FaZe won seven of the last 14 games, but it is important that they won six of the previous seven.
When it comes to the maps in the past three months, FaZe was above average on Mirage (62.5%) and Inferno (60.0%), while they didn’t get a victory on Overpass (played twice) and didn’t perform well on Train (33.3%). Since August this year, FaZe is playing with the current lineup and appeared on 34 maps with a record of 16 wins and 18 losses. The lineup consists of NiKo (1.13), rain (0.98), Kjaerbye (0.94), coldzera (0.97), and broky (1.09).
BIG vs. FaZe H2H Record
These rivals have met on seven occasions before and BIG leads the all-time series 5-2. However, FaZe won the latest H2H clash, when they beat BIG at the IEM New York 2020 Europe, allowing just 20 rounds in the process.
BIG vs. FaZe Betting Preview
I am not sure about the winner of this game, but I think regardless of the result here, both will advance through the group stage as they are playing alongside sAw and GODSENT, with all due respect to these two sides. My first thought when I saw this encounter is Over 2.5 maps, but I quickly changed my mind after realizing neither of the last five H2H matches produced a maximum of three maps. That’s why I am going with the current form and FaZe.
