FaZe Clan vs G2 Esports Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Mid-Season Face Off

Pressure mounts on FaZe Clan and G2 Esports as they find themselves in Lower Round 1 in the Mid-Season Face Off.

Split 1 Group A’s leader G2 Esports are about to face the group’s last FaZe Clan. This is not the first time these teams have encountered each other in VCL. Their last matchup on Split 1’s first week favored G2, as OXY and ShahZam dominated Icebox and Haven. This matchup is the last chance for both teams to stay in the Mid-Season Face Off, meaning you don’t want to miss out if you’re a fan!

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan barely made it to Mid-Season Face Off, winning only two out of the five matches on Split 1. This has been a disappointing look for babybay’s team, as they were once known for their aggressive and unstoppable playstyle. At least their last loss against The Guard was close enough to show they are still willing to fight and get out of the lowers bracket.

Player to Watch

We are expecting a return of the legend babybay on this series to dominate with his Jett plays and be more aggressive.

G2 Esports

Even though G2 Esports finished Split 1 as the champions of Group A, they were still far below the top rosters in the other group, M80, and The Guard, regarding round differential points. Nonetheless, G2 should be confident in facing FaZe Clan in this matchup, as their winning streak in Split 1 has been impressive.
