Looking at MOUZ’s recent results, they’re clearly a very worthy opponent for Team Spirit. The team consistently places high at top-tier tournaments, but unfortunately, something still seems to be missing.
More often than not, MOUZ fall short in the semifinals, finishing in 3rd–4th place. Of course, they’ve had their share of big victories — but overall, this roster still lacks just a bit of experience to push through to the very top. That’s why this matchup makes for an especially intriguing betting prediction.
Player | Time on Team | Maps Played | Rating 2.1 |
3 years 5 months | 559 | 1.12 | |
2 years 9 months | 455 | 1.12 | |
1 year 11 months | 338 | 1.12 | |
1 year 5 months | 260 | 1.02 | |
4 months | 99 | 1.10 |
The team’s coach is sycrone, who has been with the roster for 3 years and 5 months. During this time, he has coached 559 maps with a win rate of 60%.
Recent head to head: Team Vitality edging it
Both teams currently sit at the top of the CS rankings, so it was only a matter of time before they clashed at most of the top-tier tournaments. And as we can see below — that’s exactly what happened.
Tournament | Winner | Score |
IEM Dallas 2025 | Vitality | 3:0 |
BLAST Rivals 2025 Season 1 | Vitality | 2:1 |
BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 | Vitality | 3:2 |
BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 | Vitality | 2:0 |
ESL Pro League Season 21 | Vitality | 3:0 |
As you can see, in the tournaments where both teams participated and faced each other, MOUZ didn’t manage to secure a single win. Their losses came both in finals and during earlier stages of the bracket.
Players to watch: ZyWoo and Jimpphat
ZywOo is one of the best players in the world, and he’s once again in top form. His precision, timing, and composure make him a key figure in Team Vitality’s lineup — exactly the kind of player who can decide the outcome of matches at Major-level events.
On the side of MOUZ, Jimpphat stands out. Despite his young age, he has already proven himself as a powerful and consistent rifler. His aggression, smart positioning, and confidence in clutch situations often play a crucial role in the team’s victories.
Probable map picks
Map picks are one of the key aspects of any match. Even at this stage, the map pool can play a decisive role in the outcome of the series. Let’s try to predict which maps we’re most likely to see in this exciting Bo3 matchup.
Based on the playstyles of both teams, the most probable options are Inferno, Mirage, Dust2, or Nuke.But to get a clearer picture, let’s take a closer look at the potential veto process.
Which maps does pick and ban most often Team Vitality?
Here is the table with the teams’ map results over the past few months.
Category | Map | Winrate | Notes |
Strongest maps | Anubis | 100.0% | 3W-0L |
Inferno | 83.3% | 10W-2L First Pick | |
Nuke | 81.8% | 10W-2L | |
Train | 83.3% | 5W-1L | |
Dust2 | 80.0% | 8W-2L | |
Average maps | Mirage | 71.4% | 10W-4L |
Looking at the stats, it’s difficult to clearly say what should be banned or picked against Team Vitality — their map pool is solid across the board.
However, one thing is almost certain: Ancient will be banned by Vitality, as they simply don’t play it.
As for their pick, it will most likely be Inferno, since MOUZ currently have a negative record on that map.
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 | Mirage | 69.2% | 9W-4L |
Nuke | 69.2% | 9W-4L First Pick | |
Average maps | Dust2 | 61.5% | 8W-5L |
Train | 50.0% | 2W-2L | |
Ancient | 50.0% | 2W-2L | |
Weakest maps | Inferno | 45.5% | 5W-6L |
MOUZ will most likely remove Anubis in the first stage of the veto. It’s one of Vitality’s strongest maps and practically unplayable for MOUZ.
As for their pick, it’s a bit harder to predict — but there’s a good chance they’ll go with Nuke, which has recently become one of their favorite maps.
Predicted result of the match
And now we’ve reached the decisive moment — it’s time to make a prediction for this first-stage match of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. Based on all the information and stats above, the most logical pick would be a Team Vitality victory.
MOUZ rightfully holds the second spot in the world rankings. They’re a young team with a bright future and solid results — one of the few rosters currently capable of challenging Team Vitality even in their prime.
That said, my prediction is a Team Vitality win.
Right now, Vitality is the undisputed leader of the global scene, and there are no signs that their form is fading. The team functions as a single, cohesive unit, and every player performs their role with confidence and consistency. They’re playing at their peak — and it clearly shows.
