FaZe vs Fnatic Prediction: More Seasoned Team to Get into Playoff

Prediction for the ESL Pro League Season 18 match which will take place on September 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

FaZe

The FaZe team struggled, and their play was not strong enough, as reflected in the last major performances. At IEM Cologne 2023, the team finished a modest 9th to 12th, and at Gamers8 2023, they finished 9th to 16th. Even with a new coach, the results haven't improved. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that the competitive version of CS:GO is ending, which may undermine the team's motivation to excel here and now.

What can we expect from FaZe in Group C of the EPL? First of all, they want to make the playoffs. Even with strong opponents in the group, FaZe's roster, while not at their best, still has the potential to do well, especially considering the experience of the players and Karrigan's desire to redeem himself for recent results.

In the first EPL match, the team beat 9z. On the map Nuke (16:14), the favorite had real problems, and only an incredible solo play of ropz helped to close the map in favor of FaZe, but on their peak inferno (16:3) the champions of the major showed a master class to 9z.

Fnatic

The team was renewed in the summer, with a captain, Dexter, who proved his worth in Mouz and Frenchman Afro. Transfers are of equal value, with no stars left. Most notably, the legendary KRIMZ remains in Fnatic.

The team played at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023 and Gamers8 2023. Still, the places taken by the team are far from perfect, so at the EPL, the European team wants to make the playoffs at least, and seeing the group's lineup, it is pretty realistic. However, in the tournament's opening game, they had problems with Imperial Esports (2:1).

Expert Betting Tips

FaZe players are struggling, but Fnatic should not let such a severe opponent defeat them.
