MOUZ punches Falcons to lock in IEM Dallas semi-final spot
MOUZ are officially the first team into the IEM Dallas semi-finals, and they did it in style. Falcons didn’t stand a chance as MOUZ took Dust2 13-4 and Mirage 16-12 to close the series 2-0. It was one of those games where the scoreboard tells the whole story—every MOUZ player was dialed in, and Falcons just couldn’t find any answers.
The man of the hour? Ádám 'torzsi' Torzsás. The Hungarian AWPer was untouchable, dropping 46 kills across two maps with just 18 deaths, and a monstrous 1.66 rating. He dismantled Falcons on Dust2 and pulled off a highlight 4k on B site defense in round 21 on Mirage that sealed the momentum. Spinx also put up a near-perfect game with a 1.47 rating and a ridiculous 91.1% KAST.
On the Falcons side, this one hurt. NiKo and m0NESY both looked out of sync, and the entire squad fell apart under pressure. Magisk and TeSeS had nightmare performances, combining for just 34 kills in two maps with sub-0.65 ratings. It was the kind of teamwide flatline that doesn’t just lose maps—it loses confidence.
