MOUZ is a very strong and consistent team. As you can see, over the past year they’ve consistently reached finals and semifinals in nearly every tournament. While they may fall just short at times, this team is more than capable of defeating the top-tier teams in the world.

Recent head to head: MOUZ Team edging it
The teams haven’t faced each other before this match, so we’re in for a very exciting showdown.
Players to watch: Jimpphat and XANTARES
In truth, the entire MOUZ lineup deserves attention, but I’d like to highlight their young talent — Jimpphat. An incredible clutcher with outstanding CS2 game sense.
On the Aurora side, it’s undoubtedly the CS star — XANTARES. His sharp aim has earned him the love of countless CS fans across the globe, and watching him play is always a thrill.
Probable map picks
Map picks play a crucial role in any match and can still be a deciding factor, even at this stage of the tournament. In this Bo3 showdown, let’s try to determine which maps are most likely to appear.
My prediction is that we’ll see Mirage, Ancient, Nuke or Dust2 in the pool.
Let me break down the reasoning behind these choices.
Which maps does pick and ban most often MOUZ?
Now let’s move on to MOUZ and take a look at their strongest and weakest maps.
Category | Map | Winrate | Notes |
Strongest maps | Ancient | 80.0% | 4W-1L |
Mirage | 72.7% | 8W-3L | |
Nuke | 61.5% | 8W-5L First Pick | |
Average performance | Dust2 | 50.0% | 7W-7L |
Train | 50.0% | 2W-2L | |
Weakest maps | Inferno | 40.0% | 4W-6L |
If Ancient doesn’t get banned, MOUZ will most likely be happy to play it — they’re very confident on that map. Otherwise, they’ll probably go for Nuke, which is also one of their strongest picks and well-practiced against some of the best teams in the world.
Which maps does pick and ban most often Aurora?
Now let’s move on to the maps and Aurora statistics on them.
Category | Map | Winrate | Notes |
Strongest maps | Mirage | 77.8% | 7W-2L |
Anubis | 72.7% | 8W-3L | |
Dust2 | 60.0% | 6W-4L First Ban | |
Nuke | 60.0% | 3W-2L | |
Average performance | Inferno | 44.4% | 4W-5L |
Weakest maps | Train | 0.0% | 0W-5L First Pick |
It’s hard to say which map Aurora will pick — as long as it’s not Train. But most likely, they’ll go for a classic choice they’re comfortable with: Mirage. Since it’s very likely that MOUZ won’t want to face them on Anubis and will ban it right away.
Predicted result of the match
And so we’ve reached the decisive moment — it’s time to make a prediction for this match in the first stage of BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. Taking into account all the information and statistics above, the most logical pick would be a victory for MOUZ. The team is very consistent, and all players perform steadily — it’s rare to see anyone fall off.
My prediction is a win for MOUZ.
Unlike MOUZ, Aurora heavily relies on their key fragger — XANTARES. And if he’s having a bad game, the team is likely to fall with him. They’re also very dependent on emotional momentum — if that spark is missing, their game tends to fall apart, and making comebacks becomes a real struggle.
