Match Prediction: MOUZ - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)

MOUZ and OG will meet in the lower group stage final of IEM Dallas 2023. In this case, the winner will proceed to the play-offs, while the loser will go home to prepare for the next half of the season.

It's hard to say anything about these teams, as they have had a lot of trouble in the last five months. Moreover, even now they are unlikely to claim any serious successes.

Still, given the viscous and incomprehensible play of OG, the Mice can come back and sweep into the play-offs quite nicely. Even closing our eyes to the head-to-head encounters, it's hard to believe in OG's success. So here I would lean on the MOUZ team to win.

MOUZ uniforms

The eighteenth ranked team in the world managed to fail in IEM Rio 2023, where they took the last place after two embarrassing defeats to BIG and 9INE.

Moreover, the European side fared similarly poorly at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they fell to Ninjas in Pyjamas, OG and GamerLegion to retake last place.

In the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, however, MOUZ is faring much better, as the loss to Heroic has already included two wins over fnatic and FURIA.

MOUZ latest results:

• Defeat to OG with a score of 11-16.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of GamerLegion.
• Victory over fnatic by a score of 16-9.
• 0-2 defeat at the hands of Heroic.
• 2-0 win over FURIA.

MOUZ top scorers:

• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.

It is worth remembering that the MOUZ team has consistently given up maps to Anubis.

Form OG

The seventeenth ranked team in the world fell on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they recorded one win over MOUZ, but also lost to ENCE, Ninjas in Pyjamas and GamerLegion.

After returning online, the European side visited CCT South Europe Series 4, where they even managed to beat AGO and EYEBALLERS but still managed to take down Astralis in the semi-finals.

As for the performance in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here OG managed to lose to G2 Esports, but at the same time produced two very hard wins over FURIA and 9z.

OG's latest results:

• A 2-1 win over EYEBALLERS.
• 1-2 defeat of Astralis.
• 16-14 victory over FURIA.
• 0-2 defeat for G2 Esports.
• 2-0 win over 9z.

Top scorers for OG:

• Mirage - 70% wins.
• Ancient - 60% wins.

In turn, the OG team continues to steadily deny Nuke maps.

MOUZ - OG meeting statistics

During the current season, the teams have played two meetings:

• OG's 2-1 win at IEM Katowice 2023.
• OG on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, 16-11.

In doing so, the teams have played on four different maps.

Forecast for MOUZ - OG

It's worth admitting that MOUZ looks a lot better at this championship. It's clear that the "mice" will not claim the trophy, but still, against the background of recent failures, things are going well so far.

OG, on the other hand, have no game at all. And while previously the team relied on the degster, now that role belongs to the regali. Objectively, the team deflated and is waiting when you can already enter the market.

In such a situation I don't see any point in OG. So in this case I would recommend to bet on MOUZ to win.
