The match between FaZe Clan and M80 will be one of the matches in the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier. Both teams will compete in Bo3 format to reach the next stage of the tournament. The winner will continue the fight, while the loser will be eliminated from the tournament.

Current Team Form

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan has had mixed results over the past six months, but they are still one of the strongest teams on the international scene. Their performance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, where they took 2nd place, confirmed their high skill level. In the final, they lost to Team Spirit, but their path to the decisive match included victories over strong teams such as Vitality and G2.

However, it's worth noting that FaZe Clan replaced one player a few days ago, which could affect their chemistry and team dynamics. The new lineup has not yet had enough time to demonstrate stability. This creates a certain risk in matches against teams with a non-standard style of play, which includes M80.

M80

M80 is a young and promising team from North America that is progressing rapidly, with their most recent performance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: American RMR revealed some weaknesses in the confrontation with top-level teams. They took 8th place, losing to FURIA and Complexity, but were able to show a competitive game against teams like Legacy and BESTIA.

M80 is trying to adapt to the European style of play, but they lack experience in playing FaZe teams. At the same time, their aggressive style of play can surprise opponents and create difficulties for FaZe Clan, especially if the latter are not yet fully accustomed to the new lineup.

Team Map Pool

FaZe Clan: The strongest maps are Ancient (67%) and Mirage (61%), which remain their key maps. Problems are observed on Nuke (40%) and Dust II (56%), which they try to avoid.

M80: The team's main strength lies in Anubis (68%), Inferno (67%) and Dust II (70%). At the same time, their performance on Nuke (0%) and Mirage (50%) is significantly inferior to the opponent.

Expected Muppets: Ancient, Dust II, Anubis. These maps will be key to the outcome.

Match Prediction

FaZe Clan has more experience and stability in high-level matches, which gives them an advantage in this confrontation. However, M80 have the opportunity to surprise their opponent if they can realize their strengths on maps such as Anubis or Inferno.

The expected result is 2:1 in favor of FaZe Clan.
