The best crypto betting sites have FaZe Clan priced as 1.85 favourites to defeat Team Liquid, who are 1.92 underdogs to come out ahead of this BO3 series. This comes as no surprise as FaZe bested Liquid just under a week ago; however, that does not change the fact that Liquid are in excellent form.
- FaZe Clan are 3-2 over the last five
- Team Liquid nearly beat Natus Vincere in the upper bracket
- Team Liquid (#8) are worse ranked than FaZe Clan (#6)
Head to Head
FaZe Clan and Team Liquid last met at the end of September, when FaZe Clan won in two maps.

FaZe Clan Form
FaZe Clan have been fairly inconsistent with their most recent results. They are 6-4 from the last ten and 3-2 from the last five, which includes wins against Falcons, Team Liquid, and paiN Gaming, and two losses against Natus Vincere and FURIA Esports.
At IEM Rio 2024, Faze started their campaign with a rough loss against FURIA. While they improved their impression by beating paiN Gaming, FaZe did not look particularly great.
FaZe won the game with 13-9 on Dust II, then lost Mirage (13-16) and closed out the series with 13-8 on Nuke. A solid game overall, but against a weaker Counter-Strike esports team, so it does not hold much weight. Moreover, given FaZe Clan's quality, you would expect a more dominant showing.
FaZe Clan Squad & Team News
No changes for FaZe Clan.

Team Liquid Form
Team Liquid have been playing well of late. Even though they have yet to establish themselves as one of the world's top Counter-Strike esports teams, their top-eight finish at ESL Pro League Season 20 is a good enough indication that Liquid can dance with the best.
In Rio, Team Liquid started their campaign with a comfortable 13-6 victory against Complexity, but they could not make it past Natus Vincere (1-2) in the second round of the group stage.
Despite the loss, Liquid played well and came close to winning the series. They took Inferno 13-4, lost Dust II with 5-13 and narrowly lost Ancient with 11-13. It was a very promising showing but just one of many decent displays over the last few weeks.

Verdict
FaZe Clan bested Team Liquid at the end of September, which explains why they are expected to do it again on Tuesday. However, that series was much closer than what the final result would suggest.
Even though these are both elite-tier teams, both capable of beating anyone on a good day, it is much more difficult to trust FaZe Clan as favourites. They've been very shaky of late, even against weaker opponents and their past success against Liquid does not prove much.
I expect a close series, but am leaning more towards Liquid.
