FaZe Clan vs G2 Esports: Who will qualify for the CS2 IEM Dallas 2024 Semi-finals?

Prediction

FaZe Clan vs G2 Esports will be one of the dire matchups commencing on Day 4 of IEM Dallas 2024. However, FaZe Clan will enter the stage as the clear favorite as they are ahead of G2 Esports, in terms of experience in big stages like this.

Being the winner of the previous IEM tourney (IEM Chengdu 2024), the stakes are high for the European side. They started their campaign showcasing an exemplary performance, as they managed to secure two consecutive victories against M80 and Virtus.Pro. Players like ropz and broky seemed unstoppable.

However, Team Spirit managed to break FaZe’s win streak, defeating them with a 2-0 scoreline. Amidst this chaos, karrigan, and rain are yet to show their true colors in the tournament. Despite all the struggle on the CT side, in such big stages of the tournaments, they seem to showcase their utmost dominance over any map in the pool.

On the other hand, G2 had an incredible start to their campaign as they somehow managed to secure a win against a newly formed side Falcons. After that, Vitality thrashed them to secure a 2-0 win. However, G2 managed to make a strong comeback as they secured victories against ESL Pro Season 19 winner MOUZ, and NA powerhouse Liquid.

Much like Vitality, m0NESY seems to be carrying G2 Esports toward their glory as the rest of the members failed to provide much input so far. The 19-year-old Russian AWPer stands out as the main backbone of the team. With hooxi missing the tournament, Stewie2k made his comeback in the CS scene after a long time. However, the American professional hasn’t quite pulled it off as he failed to fill in the void of the Danish rifler.

Considering the gravitas and recent performance in the tournament, the scales are way tipped towards FaZe Clan’s side. However, the German organization is full of surprises and is likely to win at least one map against FaZe in this BO3 (Best of 3) matchup. Additionally, they’ll also look for any opportunity to capitalize on the previous IEM winner and secure their spot on the semis.
