FaZe Clan and BIG are viewed as top-tier CS:GO teams, but you could hardly tell from the way they’ve been playing of late. Although BIG (no.9) are still ranked much higher than FaZe (no.29), their showings this month have been mediocre at most.
The Germans are 7-4 on the month, albeit they haven’t beaten anyone of note outside of their win over G2 Esports at BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2021. FaZe’s results have been just as unconvincing; they are on a seven-game losing streak, with only two official matches on their record in June.
If this was a proper tournament, a bet on FaZe would be the play, but since this is a charity event, we can expect a more laid-back approach from both teams. Take the overs on the map line.

FURIA are clearly the better team, but that doesn’t mean much in an exhibition tournament like this one. Favourites rarely deliver at these events, as seen last year when FaZe Clan and OG caused an upset in the first round of play. That point was hammered home on Tuesday when ENCE and MiBR both performed admirably well against stronger opposition.
The trend of underdogs outperforming the favourites makes Dignitas an appealing bet, but on form it’s hard to make a strong case for the Scandinavian lineup. Furthermore, Dignitas haven’t faced a proper top-10 team since BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 in April.
Regardless, Dignitas should at least be competitive on Thursday and steal one map from the inconsistent Brazilians. At $1.60, the map handicap on the outsiders is a solid pick.
Dignitas +1.5 maps
