Will Cloud9 Be Able to Surprise FaZe Clan In the Quarterfinals Of ESL Pro League Season 16?
On September 29 at 8:00 PM Moscow time, Cloud9 will face FaZe Clan in the playoff match of ESL Pro League Season 16. Finn karrigan Andersen's team approaches the confrontation as a favourite, but the team of Vladislav nafany Gorshkov cannot be written off.
On the eve of the quarterfinal meeting, both teams are in good playing shape. The average rating of teams is 6.2. It isn't easy to single out someone in FaZe. The whole team has equal individual indicators. C9, on the other hand, has two esportsmen in excellent playing shape at once - Sergey Ax1Le Rykhtorov (average score - 6.6) and Dmitry sh1ro Sokolov (6.7).
As for maps, FaZe Clan prefers to ban Vertigo and choose Inferno (76% win rate). In turn, Cloud9 bans Nuke against some of the opponents Inferno as well. The nafany's team picks Vertigo and Overpass. Several maps look quite close for the teams - Mirage, Dust2 and Overpass.
Given that the karrigan's team can come together at a decisive moment and turn the course of the match, they are the favourite of the meeting. At the same moment, C9 has every chance to impose a fight and, possibly, cling to the victory in the confrontation. The decisive choice is yours, but it's too early to write off the Russian team.
