Prediction on match CS2 fnatic - MOUZ

fnatic and MOUZ will meet in the top group stage quarterfinals of IEM Dallas 2023. I don't know, it looks to me like two extremely troubled teams that can't seem to get a foothold at the top.

MOUZ was even a revelation from the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they suffered three losses in the Challengers stage and finished in last place in disgrace.

On the other hand, fnatic played from their mood and luck and kept on playing. Otherwise I can't explain why the team closes G2 Esports today and loses Into the Breach tomorrow.

And yet, based on recent results, face-to-face the "mice" have far more problems and inconsistencies. Therefore, I would lean on fnatic to win here.

fnatic uniforms

The fourteenth ranked team in the world could not show anything at IEM Rio 2023, where they registered one tough victory over 9z, but as expected did not make it to the play-offs.

Next, the European side tried to do something at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, but with losses to Monte, GamerLegion and Into the Breach, there was simply nothing to see.

Already after that, fnatic were able to rehabilitate themselves a bit by winning qualification for Gamers8 2023, managing to beat such "grandees" as Sprout, 500 and Looking4Org.

Latest fnatic results:

• A 1-2 loss to Into the Breach.
• Victory over Sprout with a score of 16-14.
• 16-6 win over GTZ.
• Victory over 500, 19-16.
• 2-0 win over Looking4Org.

Best fnatic scores:

• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Vertigo - 55% wins.

Interestingly, the fnatic team has recently started giving up on maps Mirage.

MOUZ uniforms

The eighteenth team of the world ranking played very ambiguously in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, but still recorded a sensational victory over FaZe Clan.

Immediately after that, the European team headed to IEM Rio 2023 where they completely failed in the group, suffering two defeats from BIG and 9INE to take the last place.

Already on the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, the Muskies failed again, suffering three defeats and finishing in last place. Based on this, MOUZ needs a revamp, as the current rankings are not working at all.

Recent MOUZ results:

• A 6-16 defeat to BIG.
• Defeat to 9INE by a score of 1-2.
• Defeat to Ninjas in Pyjamas by a score of 9-16.
• 11-16 defeat at the hands of OG.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of GamerLegion.

MOUZ's best scores:

• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.

In turn, MOUZ team has consistently given up maps to Anubis.

MOUZ - fnatic meeting statistics

Last season the teams met once - MOUZ won the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage (2-1).

Forecast for fnatic vs MOUZ

What can we say? Two problematic teams meet, each of them doesn't even qualify for the play-offs. At that, the mice seem to have a bit more problems.

Yes, I personally don't like the way fnatic play. However, in such a match, the team can shoot, taking advantage of the opponent's disaster. And MOUZ is in no particular hurry to fix anything.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on fnatic to win.
