NAVI and FaZe Clan will argue for the right to reach the quarterfinals of ESL Pro League Season 14, and at the same time win Group C. It is interesting that both teams have already made their way to the playoffs, breaking away from their pursuers. At the same time, we must understand that strange things are happening in this group, and anyone can win.
NAVI form
The first team in the world rankings started their journey in ESL Pro League Season 14 with two victories. However, then there was a game with BIG, where the team could not come up with anything, logically losing. Nevertheless, in the last round, NAVI still managed to regain its leadership, as expected, beating Evil Geniuses. I can say that if the team is in a ready mood, FaZe Clan will not be able to impose a fight.
Recent results NAVI:
- Victory over G2 with a score of 3: 0.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 2: 0.

Best NAVI cards:

- Mirage - 75% wins.
- Inferno - 70% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
The only exception to the rule is the Vertigo map, which the team does not play at all.
FaZe Clan Form
The fourth team in the world rankings got off to a great start in ESL Pro League Season 14. However, in this case too, I'm talking about the result, not the content. As a result, FaZe Clan also found its defeat, this time by fnatic. Nevertheless, a miracle happened in this case, as the team sensationally outplayed BIG and secured a ticket to the championship playoffs.
Recent results FaZe Clan:
- Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over mousesports with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost to fnatic with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 0.
Best FaZe Clan cards:
- Dust 2 - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 62% wins.
- Inferno - 56% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
It is clear that the team will not take risks and pick Vertigo. However, it should be recalled that with FaZe Clan, things are not so simple with Overpass.

Forecast for the match NAVI - FaZe Clan
How to analyze teams playing every other day? If yesterday NAVI did not play at all, today the team flew on the map. This also applies to FaZe Clan, which yesterday was blown away by fnatic, and today it is outplaying BIG for a salad. As for this series, I would like to look at Ancient or Dust 2 from FaZe Clan. Therefore, here I propose to take a chance and put on Forum (+1.5) for the FaZe Clan team.
