In the quarterfinals of the ESL Pro League Season 16 LAN tournament, the Russian team Cloud9 will play against the European team FaZe.
Cloud9The Russian team in the group stage of this tournament showed a very good game, which allowed it to win Group D. Cloud9 scored 12 points and lost only one match, which no longer solved anything.
In the final meeting in Group D, which was on the 25th, Cloud9 lost to Liquid from the USA in a match of the VO3 format – 10:16 Inferno (the opponent's peak) and 17:19 Overpass.
FaZeThe European team, in turn, the day before yesterday already played in the match of the first round of the playoffs. FaZe in the match of the VO3 format showed far from the highest level of play, but in the end, on three maps, the guys won a strong-willed victory over Complexity from the USA – 9:16 Overpass (opponent's peak); 16:14 Inferno and 16:8 Nuke.
Between themselves, FaZe and Cloud9 last played on the fourth of June at the IEM Dallas 2022 LAN tournament. Then, in the quarterfinals of the tournament, the Russian team in a match of the VO3 format was able to win a strong–willed victory on three maps - 14:16 Overpass (its peak); 16:13 Inferno and 16:13 Mirage.
ForecastIn this match, FaZe is considered a small favorite among bookmakers.
However, the world champions played their last match rather poorly. Cloud9 are able to beat such a strong opponent and reach the semifinals of the tournament, and therefore we suggest you bet on the Russian team.
