Monte vs FaZe Preview and Predictions: BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage

Monte vs FaZe will be one of the first Challengers Stage fixtures at the Paris Major 2023

Looking to extend their European RMR form to the main competition, FaZe and Monte will meet each other in a Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage tie.Monte are here courtesy of their 2-0 win against FORZE, while FaZe punched the ticket for the French capital at the expense of their familiar foes Cloud9. If you want to bet on CSGO, rooting for FaZe should be the safest option, but Monte will look back at their recent wins against big-hitters like Cloud9 and ENCE to draw inspiration for the clash.

Monte came up trumps at halftime with a 8-7 lead on Anubis, but they stepped on the gas after the interval and won the map by 16-12. FORZE could not muster the effort required for a spectacular comeback on the second map and succumbed to a 16-9 defeat on Overpass to drop out of the Paris Major 2023 qualification race.
