FaZe Team Stats and Latest Results

FaZe is not playing well recently as they lost five of the last six games, including the opening one at the cs_summit 7 to mousesports. That defeat came as a big surprise, not because they lost 2-0, but because they won just ten rounds along the way. FaZe dropped out from the top 10 teams in the world following unsuccessful campaigns at major tournaments in the last three months. FaZe lost seven of the previous ten matches in that period.

In the last three months, FaZe won the only appearance on Overpass and was above average on Nuke (60.0% win rate), while they didn’t taste a victory on Dust2 (played six times) and didn’t play well on Mirage (25.0%). Since October 2020, FaZe is playing with the same lineup that appeared on 24 maps and recorded eight wins and 16 losses. The team members are olofmeister (0.81 rating), rain (0.96), Kjaerbye (0.98), coldzera (1.01), and broky (1.08).

FaZe vs. MIBR Betting Preview

I am not impressed with the way these teams are playing of late and that’s why I cannot back the winner in this encounter. Despite the fact that MIBR plays with a new lineup and they lost the opening game at this tournament, FaZe disappointed even more, so both sides will be eager to bounce back and make a better impression on Wednesday. This tilt could go either way, and I am backing Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-111 @GG.BET)
