sAw - FaZe

IEM Cologne 2024

The elimination phase begins with the first quarter-final match between SAW and FaZe. For the Portuguese team, reaching the arena is already a great achievement, as they looked very solid in the group stage, but it should be noted that they rely heavily on the Nuke map. FaZe knows how to play Nuke and if there will be any excitement in the match, it will most likely be on this map. I'm taking a risk, but I choose FaZe to win 2:0. They are a team that shows better performance in arenas and I have no doubt that they will have more support from the audience. Meanwhile, SAW lacks experience playing in front of a crowd and often their players perform worse in such situations compared to in the studio.
