Prediction: FaZe wins 2-0.

I have FaZe winning this entire event and I expect them to take care of business here. They are the most talented and most stable roster in the world at the moment. My main priority here will be broky, and the rest of my preferences on FaZe will be dictated by DK pricing. I would fade OG outside of degster.

Moneyline Odds: Liquid (-115) | NiP (-105) 

Map Handicap: Liquid -1.5 (+245) | NiP +1.5 (-310)

This is a best-of-three on LAN for BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 - Knockout stage round two. Losing team goes to Last Chance stage.

Liquid - Rating past three months: EliGE 1.18 | NAF 1.10 | oSee 1.08 | YEKINDAR 1.07 | nitr0 0.86

NiP - Rating at event: REZ 1.11 | Brollan 1.04 | es3tag 1.01 | hampus 1.00 | Plopski 0.99

NiP - Rating past three months: Brollan 1.12 | REZ 1.10 | hampus 1.08 | es3tag 1.01 | Plopski 0.96

Prediction: Liquid wins 2-1.

The odds have this one as a pick 'em and it is tough to confidently separate these teams, but Liquid are trending in the right direction and have a 10-6 W/L record since adding YEKINDAR. Liquid have a winning record on Mirage, Inferno, Dust2, and Vertigo, and I think they can take two maps from NiP especially since we just saw EG play a close series against NiP on Thursday. NAF leads Liquid in the past month with a 1.18 Rating and 1.33 K/D ratio and he will likely be my priority target, but it could make sense to have exposure to both sides in this match-up.

Moneyline Odds: Vitality (-140) | G2 (+115)

Vitality - Rating at event: ZywOo 1.39 | Spinx 1.17 | dupreeh 1.09 | Magisk 1.07 | apEX 0.83

Vitality - Rating past three months: ZywOo 1.26 | Magisk 1.06 | Spinx 1.05 | dupreeh 1.04 | apEX 0.93

G2 - Rating at event: m0NESY 1.44 | NiKo 1.36 | huNter 1.29 | jks 0.91 | HooXi 0.66

G2 - Rating past three months: NiKo 1.24 | huNter 1.13 | m0NESY 1.12 | jks 0.91 | HooXi 0.66

Prediction: Vitality wins 2-1.

I'm still not sold on G2 yet despite them sweeping BIG on Thursday. HooXi still seems like a huge liability on the server, and G2 won't be able to rely on huNter putting up another hero performance like he did on Dust2. Vitality still have to prove their new roster too, but I feel more comfortable with their long-term stability, and Spinx already looks like an excellent fit. ZywOo always has to be in consideration on Draftkings, while Spinx could be another strong option if DK continues to price him too cheap.
