Match Prediction: MOUZ - Heroic | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Dallas 2023MOUZ and Heroic will meet in the semi-finals of the top group stage of IEM Dallas 2023. In this case, the winner will qualify for the final, but will qualify for the championship play-offs.
On the other hand, the losing team will conquer the lower net, where they still get their chance to play in front of the public. To be honest, I'm surprised by the first win for "mice" in two months, who managed to outplay fnatic.
However, it's a little early to draw conclusions, and MOUZ will face Heroic. Yes, the Danish team knows how to surprise with the prefix "minus", but on the dice is still very stable.
Moreover, in BO3, it will be much more difficult for the "mice" to maintain the tempo, thanks to the history knows such cases in face-to-face meetings. Therefore, I'd opt for a victory for Team Heroic here.
MOUZ Form
The eighteenth ranked team in the world managed to fall in the IEM Rio 2023, where they took the last place after two embarrassing defeats to BIG and 9INE.
Moreover, MOUZ similarly fared poorly at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where Ledgeleigh beat Ninjas in Pyjamas, OG and GamerLegion to go home from last place again.
However, at the Long Converge of the IEM Dallas 2023 group stage, the European squad decided to get back into the game to outplay fnatic. On the other hand, the prospects of the "mice" are still very dim.
MOUZ's latest results:
- A 1-2 defeat to 9INE.
- Ninjas in Pyjamas 9-16 defeat.
- Defeat to OG with a score of 11-16.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of GamerLegion.
- 16-9 win over fnatic.
MOUZ top scorers:
- Inferno - 75% wins.
- Ancient with 64% of wins.
Let's not forget that the European team has been steadily giving up Anubis maps.
Heroic form
The second team of the world ranking managed to reach the final of IEM Rio 2023, where they failed to defeat Vitality and ended up with a silver medal.
Then the Danish team headed to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 where they beat FaZe Clan, Apeks and Team Liquid to advance to the play-offs. But already in the ½ finals, the guys faltered, unexpectedly Ledge and GamerLegion.
Fortunately at the Long Cogneg of the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023 things went smoothly for Heroic, as here the team felt no resistance from 9z, registering a convincing victory on the Mirage card.
Heroic's latest results:
- Victory over Apeks with a score of 16-10.
- Victory over Team Liquid by a score of 2-1.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2-1.
- Defeat at the hands of GamerLegion by a score of 1-2.
- 16-9 victory over 9z.
Top scorers of Heroic:
- Ancient - 100% wins.
- Mirage - 78% wins.
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 57% wins.

Interestingly, the Danish team has also long refused to play Anubis.

Forecast for the match MOUZ - Heroic
I can't say anything about MOUZ, because one won map in so many months is no indicator. In turn, things are much better and clearer for Heroic.
In general, there is a feeling that the "mice" will fail and go back to square one. And it is a bit hard to believe in the fairy tale against the Danes. Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on a Heroic win.
