FaZe vs. Liquid Betting Preview
We are predicting a win for FaZe in this matchup because they have a better ranking and has shown better performance on the maps. Liquid recently restructured their roster and included 3 new players who are yet to blend with other players and produce a convincing performance. Nevertheless, we cannot overwrite the fact that Liquid has shown an impressive performance at the previous BLAST Premier tournament. It will not be an easy game for FaZe so there is a possibility of more than 2 maps.
The Pick: FaZe to win/ Over 2.5 maps.
