Following the thrilling Quarter-Final matchups where FaZe defeated G2 and Falcons bested hometown heroes ENCE, all eyes are now on the upcoming Semi-Finals of IEM Katowice 2024. The final four teams, including FaZe, MOUZ, Spirit, and Falcons, will be showcasing their quality at the Spodek Arena.
To uncover who will make it to the Grand Final, let’s take a closer look at the matchups for tomorrow’s games.
FaZe vs. MOUZ
The first Semi-Final will feature FaZe and MOUZ, who will be meeting for the first time since the BLAST Premier World Final 2023 Semi-Finals, where FaZe emerged victorious with a 2:0 win. However, with Brollan’s stellar performance and MOUZ’s improvements, the tables could turn this time around. Despite this, FaZe’s dominant win over G2 in the Quarter-Finals establishes them as the favorites for the entire tournament. Therefore, we predict FaZe to come out on top in this match.
As for the map selections for the upcoming Semi-Final between FaZe and MOUZ, we expect to see Ancient, Overpass, and Nuke in the veto.
Spirit vs. Falcons
In the second Semi-Final matchup, Falcons with big-name players like Magisk, SunPayus, and maden will face off against a formidable Spirit roster. With donk’s outstanding performance and sh1ro’s AWP support, Spirit has the potential to outperform Falcons. The outcome of the match will hinge on how donk handles the pressure of the Spodek and adapts to the new CS2 update, which reduces peeker’s advantage. Despite the Falcons’ strong defense, we believe Spirit will ultimately emerge victorious.
Regarding the potential map veto, we anticipate Ancient, Nuke, and Mirage to be the likely selections for this matchup.
