FaZe Clan vs OG: Who’ll qualify for the CS2 BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024?

Prediction

FaZe Clan vs OG is all set to be a terse, closely-contested affair. While FaZe Clan will enter the series as clear favorites, the newly formed OG squad definitely has the potential to cause a dramatic upset against the former BLAST World Final 2023 runner-ups.

Due to their heartbreaking loss against NiP at Fall Groups, FaZe was forced to compete in the Fall Showdown 2024, just so they could book a berth in the Fall Finals. Thankfully, they had a stellar start to their journey with a flawless 2-0 win over Rare Atom.

In fact, their performance was so dominant that karrigan and company almost rendered themselves as one of the unstoppable rosters in this tournament.

In their next matchup, FaZe struggled quite a bit against the Brazilian side paiN in the quarters, although they managed to win the BO3 (Best of 3) series with a 2-1 scoreline. The Rifler duo, ropz and frozen went on a fragging spree, while broky was instrumental with the AWP. Hence, the roster appeared perfectly in sync.

On the other hand, OG also had an exceptional start to their Fall Showdown journey, defeating HEROIC. MoDo appeared unstoppable with the AWP, while the rifler duo F1KU and Buzz assisted him well. However, the quarterfinal matchup wasn’t very satisfying for them as they lost their first map, Dust 2 against AMKAL.

Still, OG managed to make a comeback as they won their remaining two matches with a 13-0, and 13-6 scoreline respectively. F1KU and Nexius were perfectly in sync with each other, while MoDo managed to pick himself up on the scoreboard with his AWPing. Thus, from the looks of it, the newly formed team has quite a lot of potential under Chr1zN’s captaincy.

Coming to the FaZe vs OG matchup, the scales are tipped significantly towards FaZe Clan. However, judging from OG's recent performances, F1KU and Nexius can prove to be a wildcard for the underdogs. Hence, they might give FaZe a run for their money.
