Going to be an interesting match between Faze and Liquid. Twistzz coming back to play against his old team and as a member of Faze. Lets see how it goes. Didn't go well for Faze when they matched against OG a week ago, losing 2-0. Probably going to take some time to get the coordination going. On the other hand, Fallen has been playing really well with Liquid. I didnt expect it but it seems to be a really good move for them.

Twistzz can still really play and its just sad that he is playing against a team that was once his home. Faze is still in the process of getting their chemistry together while Fallen is always a player that would be able to deliver since he is always someone that have been jumping from team to team not that he wants that to happen but its just the way it is for him.

Talking about FaZe clan, I don't know where I did read that they are looking to sign a CS:GO veteran from Team Liquid, it looks like Olofmeister will leave CS:GO in 2021, so this will be one of the biggest signings of the organisation, but do we have any news about that? FaZe Clan wanted ‘Twistzz’ on board but I can not find the right information about that. Thanks in advance.

Twistzz on faze is already confirmed, whenever there's a leak that comes out about transfers or almost anything about CSGO's competitive scene it's usually posted on hltv.

There's also rumors about Karrigan going back to Faze if that happens they could certainly become a top 3 team.

Also this tweet from SPUNJ gave me a bit of courage to take the underdogs.  

that actually is a really interesting fact 🤔  i don't know which team will be playing in a facility today tho, what if this is the only group where the underdogs are the ones playing from home? 🤣

About other match, I am actually looking forward to it as now Faze member Twistzz is about to face his own former Team Liquid plus there is coldzera and Fallen who once played in Luminosity and MIBR .It will be also interesting to watch Fallen working out with his new team. (Haven't seen any Liquid matches after Fallen joined). Liquid vs Faze is a really good match and I think this could go eitherway.

i totally forgot Twistzz recently joined FaZe. That match has O2.5 maps written all over it, but if previous matches in other groups are anything to go by, FaZe will win today

That rumour is going on pretty strong plus coldzera on his interview said that olofmeister would also be leaving in March- April and that's the same time when karrigan is also expected to leave or his contract runs out. So yeah timing fits as the rumours say..

Feels like O2.5 to me as well. Bookies are favouring Liquid quite heavily. I think Faze have a good equal chance to win the match as like Liquid does. I might got for Faze after the map choices are made.

Navi take the first map(Mirage, Mibr pick) with ease and Mibr putting up a fight in the 2nd(Train). There is a potential that it goes to 3 maps but Navi is going into the CT side in the 2nd half. Train is pretty CT sided map. If Navi are clinical enough in their defense. It could turn into a quick 2-0.

Edit: Never mind. Train is so weird. Some teams make it look so T sided. Mibr is one of them. We go into the 3rd map that is Dust 2. The Puggers and awpers dream. Can Mibr cause an upset?

[Avirunes]

(^^) I actually was a bit impressed how they were able to gain momentum with pistol rounds in the first map but eventually Navi won that but they did very good in second map and they swiped the secon half in map 2 giving no rounds at all to Navi. Pretty impressive to push down to third map against a team like Navi.

I've been told to bet Liquid in 2 maps win so have done that but I'm quite sceptical just on the names alone and as said above Twistzz was one of the best players on Liquid so how does this make sense I dont know.    Olaf wants to retire ok so thats some doubts on one player, perhaps thats enough and Liquid is a very strong team who wont slip and I might just be prejudice from so many NA failed bets where they go derp mode.
  If Liquid have a plan for each map played then they win both, if its a pug match purely on aim and rushing sites then maybe either team can win it.

Navi take the bo3 but kudos to mibr for a decent challenge vs world #2 is perhaps fair conclusion also.

Navi vs Faze coming up in few mins and I am really excited after watching how Faze kicked Liquid yesterday especially second map lol. BTW NAVI made a change in lineup resting flamie and bringing in B1T so another reason of me favouring Faze here and so I went on with a little on Faze.

Now live Natus Vincere vs Faze Clan in a best of 2 match.
 its an great match every team won 1 round, now the last round.
i dint think that Faze win 1 round butt yeah, maybe Faze will win this match that would be great.

Looks like a nice match. Faze played well against Team Liquid. Unfortunately I didn't bet anymore for the remaining games, lost a bit on the last final.

Probably just going to wait for the Spring Showdowns. My bet is likely either Astralis or Navi, both of them look very good at the moment.

[SUPERSAIAN]

It's a nice competitive game between Natus Vincere and Faze Clan.The final map will be decisive. They are playing on the train map now.İf Faze defends well, they can win. Twistzz  performs well on  train map

[STT]

Faze doing well as of late but to beat Navi I wouldn't go with because Navi also are doing well within their skill range and their skill range is major winners and the best in the world so that was not a tempting bet for me.

This guy Im following is from the 2014 era of big betting which I respect and appreciate the posting of his bets of course but definitely it pays to have your own opinion when to follow or not.  Alot of the players then are still in teams but obviously things change and they were a bit off today.   I dont think this game is going to end with a positive result for him either as Mibr should not be beating Liquid most of the time though they seem to be improving and Liquid is a bit flaky imo;  7x live odds its worth considering but doubt I will

[mibr win 6 rounds in a row after I post lol]

[tomahawk9]

just finished watching Team Secret - Alliance, and s4 really played like sh*t in game 3, eh? :/ Secret already 5-0 in the league    so it's all about the battle for 2nd-4th spots

[mibr win 6 rounds in a row after I post lol]

but it wasn't enough

and with that the trend comes to and as MIBR are the the first underdog to not qualify straight to the Spring Finals

i'm gonna back FaZe tomorrow cos i wanna see them in a Grand Final again, plus they've playing good CS lately so why no? (:

I was too caught up with PL that almost forgot about it totally. Seems like Liquid are doing better than the couple of days ago when they lost going against Faze. Liquid looks a bit sharp  today but Faze are also doing good so will Liquid can get their revenge back. I will join in second map and will watch a bit of PL match for now.

To me it seems like it should go down to 3rd map but who knows. I am not going to put any money in eSports (not in this Blast tournament for now).

I don't think that fazein will get trouble too much  on the inferno map,  against team liquide. However, team liquid is not a team to be taken lightly, hopefully they will perform well in inferno and they dont have to play 3rd map

On the ct side, Faze finished the first half 11-4 with a crushing lead, as I said, I do not think it will be difficult for the win.

Great work from Faze in 2nd map Inferno to advance into Group C Finals and they are up against NaVi. Its their second meeting and will Faze be able to beat NaVi this time and get their revenge back for thrashing them in close match we had a day ago? Well I  would put my money on Faze to beat NaVi.

[vennali]

Navi started their match against Faze on fire. Just look at this. 4 taps 4 headshots in Pistol round. S1mple and Electronic looking sharp.

Simple and electronic won easily the dust 2 map with their extra performance.

If the Faze team that will be played on the next map nuke map can be successful on this map, it may have a chance for the 3rd map.

Just as an FYI, B1t is playing for Navi whenever they play inferno - flamie hates that map (and b1t is like an inferno specialist)
