CS 2
Match Overview
Different from the other three groups finals, this one is not a rematch of two teams since they didn't meet each other in the upper bracket.
Unfortunately, there's nothing to look back on in their past since Liquid got a new roster, and they didn't play a single time against FaZe with their new squad, so we will have to see it for the first time!

Current Team Form
FaZe was the clear favorite to win their group before this match, but they lost the opening best-of-three series with a 0-2 score vs. GamerLegion, the team that we called a dark horse before the tournament started. It didn't seem like they were better or something, but it did seem like FaZe didn't wake up.
Liquid won their shaky first match against Team Spirit, who had no choice but to use two stand-ins since two of their leading players had visa issues. They ended up winning that match with a 2-1 score, but in a game like this, losing one map already some sign of weakness.
Next stage, Liquid had to meet GamerLegion, and they got a confident win with a 2-0 score. If we look at it with only logic, it means the liquid is better than FaZe. But it's rare to be like that in a game like Counter-Strike 2, and flukes are natural, so you only know once they prove it by playing and showing more results in future.

Player Statistics (FaZe vs GamerLegion):
On the Liquid side, we can see that their main stars, NAF and Twistzz, were both leading the game in the two series they have played so far. NAF got his crazy number of 1.57 ratings that game, and Twistzz ended up with 1.40. But we can’t say much about how they will go on a distance and against one of the best teams in the world because so far, the only team they played is a dark horse of this group, and the other team has two stand-ins. Two players like NAF and Twistzz might be enough if they both bring their A-game simultaneously, but it has to be everyone to help them win here.

Upcoming Match Prediction
As we stated above, both teams had their shaky results. But it was FaZe who got called the favorite of their group for a reason, and judging them by the opening match might be a big mistake. Liquid did show a good run, but losing map to a team with two standings also tells you about some inconsistency, at the very least. We would say that FaZe still has their advantage since they did wake up after losing the opening match and got here to the final one, and it's time to show why they're one of the best teams in the world right now.
