Cloud9 New York are billed as heavy underdogs for the rematch against Atlanta FaZe, despite their 3-1 victory earlier this month. However, while C9NY won that game, they have not looked as convincing in other matches, whereas FaZe only really played poorly in that defeat.

Considering FaZe are not great on Hardpoint, there is a world where Cloud9 win one map, but anything more is unlikely.

Atlanta FaZe Form

Atlanta FaZe lost to Cloud9 New York during Major 4 qualifiers, but they should be in a good spot to get their revenge here. FaZe ended the online stage with just one loss and have shown some improvement compared to the last stage when they failed to find any meaningful traction.

While they have not looked as good as the Los Angeles Thieves, they should be considered one of the top teams heading into Major 4.

Their S&D and Control are arguably the best in the league. On the other hand, Hardpoint is still a bit iffy, which could be a minor issue on Friday.

Cloud9 New York Form

Cloud9 New York ended the qualifiers in seventh place with a 2-3 record. They lost to Toronto Ultra (1-3), Miami Heretics (1-3), and LA Thieves (0-3) but defeated Vegas Falcons (3-0) and Atlanta FaZe (3-1).

A bit of a mixed bag of results, which perfectly illustrates how inconsistent Cloud9 New York are. They look solid on Hacienda, but their Search & Destroy and Control are not good enough to compete against the top teams.

While Cloud9 New York have a high ceiling, they are often too sloppy to play to their strengths.

Verdict

Atlanta FaZe v Cloud9 New York

I do not expect Cloud9 New York to defeat Atlanta FaZe in the same fashion they did during the qualifiers. However, FaZe have been a bit iffy on Hardpoint, which is Cloud9's best game mode.

That does not take away from the fact that Cloud9 New York are widely inconsistent and not to be trusted to deliver. However, at the offered numbers, I'm ready to take Cloud9 to win one map.
