G2 vs FaZe Prediction 1 May 2026
🔊 Quarterfinals at BLAST Rivals 2026 Season 1. G2 made a strong start to the tournament, dominating Astralis, but fell short against Vitality in the seeding battle. FaZe Clan, on the other hand, began with a loss to NaVi and had to fight for survival in the lower bracket, where they ultimately eliminated FURIA in a decisive match. For both teams, this is a defining moment: the winner advances to the semifinals to face Natus Vincere, while the loser exits Texas, finishing in 5th-6th place.
Head-to-Head
The teams last faced each other quite recently, with G2 securing a convincing 2-0 victory. However, FaZe have undergone significant changes. In the current tournament, FaZe are displaying a resilient style of CS, but G2 appear more balanced thanks to the firepower of their players.

G2 Team Overview
The "Samurai" with NertZ in this lineup are demonstrating impressive momentum. During the group stage, SunPayus stood out, with his form being a crucial factor in their victories. However, in the match against Vitality, the team lacked composure at critical moments. Their strong maps remain Ancient and Anubis, where the duo of HeavyGod and MATYS can break through any resistance.
Match Results: G2

FaZe Team Overview
FaZe are currently a mix of highly skilled shooters trying to compete in CS without proper preparation. Twistzz is attempting to call the shots, but any complex strategy falls apart due to a lack of synergy. Against FURIA, their character and individual skill got them through, but G2 present an entirely different level of pressure. Broky plays extremely inconsistently, often missing in crucial moments, and frozen alone won't be able to carry the series against the fired-up samurais. The team has significant gaps in their map pool: their Overpass and Ancient currently look like gifts for any opponent.

Editor's Prediction
G2 have a clear tactical edge and superior teamwork. While FaZe are still figuring out their strategy, G2 will steamroll them with pace. Expecting a three-map battle here seems naive: the "Samurai" are likely to close the series swiftly, denying FaZe any chance of a morale boost. Our pick: G2 to win 2-0. The difference in class between a cohesive roster and a team still searching for form in the quarterfinals of such a tournament should be evident. G2 will avoid the mistakes made by the Brazilians and suffocate FaZe with their tempo across two maps.
