The match between G2 and FaZe will be the real culmination of Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. Both teams are ready to fight for a ticket to the finals, as this is the last chance to continue the fight for the main prize of the tournament. The meeting in the Bo3 format promises to be tense, as the history of confrontations between these teams is rich in intrigue and surprises.

Current form of the teams

G2 has been showing impressive form in recent tournaments. After an unsuccessful performance at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024, where they took 13-16th place, the team has dramatically risen to a new level. Their victories at BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024 and BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 prove their readiness to compete at the highest level. At the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, they confidently defeated Heroic.

FaZe, on the other hand, is going through a difficult period. After a series of defeats at major tournaments such as BLAST Premier: World Final 2024 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024, the team is trying to find its game. However, their victory over Vitality in the previous round showed that they are ready to fight.

Team Map Pool

G2: The team stands out on Nuke (75% winrate) and Mirage (68%), where they demonstrate high stability and tactical flexibility. At the same time, their weaknesses are revealed on Inferno (56%) and Anubis (67% and only 9 played maps), which they often avoid.

FaZe: Their best maps are Ancient (63%) and Inferno (56%), where they are good at controlling opponents. However, their results on Vertigo (0%) and Nuke (43%) leave much to be desired.

Mappool's prediction: Most likely, the match will take place on Nuke, Ancient, and Mrage, where both teams will try to use their strengths.

Head-to-Head Matches

The teams have met three times over the past six months. G2 won all of these matches, including the last one with a 2-0 score six days ago. These results indicate that G2 have a certain advantage in this confrontation, but FaZe are capable of the unexpected.

Prediction.

Given their current form, G2 have a clear advantage, in particular because of their last victory over FaZe with a score of 2:0 at the same tournament. However, FaZe, boosted by their victory over Vitality, can put up a fight if they can implement their best strategies.

Expected score: 2:1 in favor of G2.

Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 is a key tournament in the CS2 world that takes place in a playoff format with a Single-Elimination system. Teams fight for the right to become champions using their experience and the best tactics. G2 and FaZe are two legends of the world stage who have already met many times, and their matches always leave fans in suspense until the last round. This match will decide which of them will advance to the finals and continue to fight for the championship.
