The group stage match between FaZe and Falcons at BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 1 sets up an exciting battle. FaZe seek to regain stability, while Falcons look to extend their strong run and positive record against FaZe. In this prediction, we\u2019ll review their form, map pool, and offer a match forecast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Current Form of the Teams<\/strong><\/h2>\n

FaZe<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the past three months, FaZe have played 58 maps, winning 33, showing an unstable yet competitive form. In the past month, they secured 3rd place at PGL Bucharest 2025 and finished 7th-8th at IEM Melbourne 2025. In their last five matches, FaZe claimed three wins (beating 3DMAX and Complexity) but suffered losses to GamerLegion and The MongolZ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falcons<\/b><\/p>\n

Falcons had a very active period, playing 88 maps and winning 49 of them. In April, they overcame a tough start to become champions at PGL Bucharest 2025. With new AWPer m0NESY, they also reached the final of IEM Melbourne 2025, only losing to Vitality. In their last five matches, Falcons secured three wins (against MOUZ, GamerLegion, and NAVI) and suffered two losses, both to Vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Map Pool Prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the initial ban phase, FaZe are expected to ban Train, which is their consistent ban. Falcons, on the other hand, will likely remove Anubis, their weakest map.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the pick phase, FaZe are likely to pick Ancient, a map they\u2019ve chosen 13 times with a decent 62% win rate. Another strong option could be Inferno, where they boast a 67% win rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Falcons will probably pick either Dust2 or Nuke \u2014 both maps where they have consistent win rates (63% on Dust2 with a five-win streak, 62% on Nuke).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the second ban phase, FaZe might remove Mirage, considering Falcons have their highest win rate there (66%), while Falcons could ban Overpass or Inferno to deny FaZe their comfort picks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, the expected map pool is:<\/span><\/p>\n
