Last Heads-up Match Result and Players Statistics

Current Team and Players Form

TheMongolZ

On their way to the Playoff Stage, they only lost one match against FaZe while winning the other three matches to deserve their spot in the playoffs. ‘bLitz’ is an experienced in-game leader with a high fragging potential, which is not that common for the in-game leaders and he is in good shape. ‘910’ and ‘Senzu’ were the key players to make the difference in their decider match against G2, and both were on the top of the scoreboard. ‘mzinho’ doesn’t seem at their best, but he brings his impact. ‘Techno’, who was in good form most of the time before, hasn’t managed to show the same at this tournament yet, and his team will need him on the big stage. Their main problem throughout last year and this year was some “big stage fear” that stopped them from playing to their best as soon as they hit the Playoff Stages, and if they didn’t manage to fix it yet, this tournament might have the biggest pressure.

FaZe

After bringing the best CS:GO player ‘s1mple’ to their team, they caught everyone’s attention, and they had to perform to make it all count. Even though they lost their opening match against Aurora, it didn’t break them, and they won three matches in a row, successfully qualifying for the Playoff Stage.

In their decider match against TheMongolZ, ‘s1mple’ was the one on the top of the scoreboard, showing that he is back with his incredible performance and he is ready to give his all for his team. Other than him, it was the whole team working together, ‘rain’, ‘EliGe’ and ‘frozen’ seemed to be in good form and fragging like crazy while being hyped up all the time by their in-game leader ‘karrigan’, who is one of the most experienced in-game leaders left on the scene. Their advantage will be the experience of the big stages, and they’re known for getting even better at the big scene.

Match Prediction

Considering both teams’ big-stage experience and that TheMongolZ might struggle under pressure, as we’ve seen before, it will be clear FaZe has an advantage to play on the big stage of such an important tournament. We don’t see why it would be different this time because FaZe already won against this team just a few days ago. We expect FaZe to win this match.

Will TheMongolZ be able to take revenge on FaZe when it matters the most, or will it be FaZe and ‘s1mple’ to show why he was the best player in the world? We will have to see it this Saturday at 00:30 CET!
