FaZe Team Stats and Latest Results

After defeating Heroic, BIG, Vitality, and OG, FaZe won the trophy and $70,000 at the IEM New York 2020 Europe, but they didn’t have the best of times at the DreamHack Open Fall 2020, where they ended in 9th place. They also didn’t have a lot of luck of late but managed to respond to an opening loss to Spirit at this tournament with a 2-1 victory over c0ntact. FaZe won five of the previous ten matches.

When it comes to the maps in the last three months, FaZe was strong on Train (75.0% win rate), while they didn’t play well on Dust2 (35.7%), Nuke (40.0%), and inferno (42.9%). FaZe is playing with the current lineup since October this year and appeared on 19maps with a record of seven wins and 12 losses. The team members are olofmeister (0.82 rating), rain (1.00), Kjaerbye (0.98), coldzera (1.01), and broky (1.09).

Complexity Team Stats and Latest Results

Complexity has been in a hot and cold form lately and they are without a trophy in the last three months or so. Still, they are considered as one of the favorites to get to the final stages of this tournament, but first of all, Complexity has to beat FaZe on Thursday to enter the playoffs. Following relatively unsuccessful campaigns at the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 and IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, Complexity beat ENCE in the opening round of the DreamHack Masters Winter 2020 Europe, but lost the next match to Gambit, winning just ten rounds in the process. Complexity won seven of the last 14 games.

In the previous three months, Complexity was unbeaten on Inferno (played once) and played well on Overpass (71.4%) and Mirage (60.0%), while they failed to impress on Train (33.3%) and Dust2 (37.5%). Since October 2020, Complexity is playing with the current squad that appeared on 26 maps with a record of 14 wins and 12 losses. The lineup is made of jks (1.12), RUSH (0.94), k0nfig (1.16), poison, (1.03), and blameF (1.22).

FaZe vs. Complexity H2H Record

These rivals have met on three occasions before, and Complexity won two of those matches, including the most recent one at the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 a month ago.

FaZe vs. Complexity Betting Preview

I am not impressed with Complexity’s form in the past few months, while FaZe lost three of the previous four games, so this one is going to be quite tricky to predict. Although the bettors are favoring Complexity in this one, I would avoid betting on the winner as it could really go either way. That’s why I am following the same recipe I am usually doing on these occasions, I am going with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+106 @GG.BET)
