FaZe vs. OG H2H Record
These rivals have met on four occasions before, and FaZe is leading the all-time series 3-1. FaZe won the most recent H2H encounter less than a month ago at the IEM New York 2020 Europe when they secured a 2-1 victory.
FaZe vs. OG Betting Preview
FaZe perhaps won the latest H2H duel but they changed the lineup as their best player NiKo left, and they are not as strong anymore. That’s why the low odds on OG to win, and considering OG’s form at the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 and some great wins, I am going with the favorites in this one. I expect FaZe to improve in the next few weeks, but I am not giving them chances to get a win over OG. They’ll have to look for the first win with a new lineup elsewhere.
