Prediction on match CS2 Apeks - MOUZ

Apeks and MOUZ will meet in the second semi-final of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. This is where The International is ironic, as the day before Apeks had managed to lose to the young Swedes, albeit in another championship.

On the other hand, the Mice are more experienced, and the latest results from the team give some hope. So, we have to rely on statistics that speak in favor of MOUZ.

And if you weigh the pros and cons, Apeks are tired, especially since the team has played almost more than everyone else at the moment. So here I would lean on the MOUZ team to win.

Apeks form

The tenth team of the world ranking distinguished itself in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where it made it to the semifinals, but there almost without a struggle was defeated by Vitality.

However, the European side didn't look too disappointed as they won the ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe and went on to defeat 9INE, 1WIN, Monte and Spirit Academy.

And in the play-offs of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, the Apeks have so far been in a tight spot as they beat Sangal and Into the Breach. On the other hand, the team left CCT West Europe Series 4 the day before, which is very cool.

The latest Apeks results:

• A 2-1 win over Monte.
• 3-2 win over Spirit Academy.
• 2-0 win over Sangal.
• 2-1 win over Into the Breach.
• 1-3 loss to Young Ninjas.

Apeks top scorers:

• Anubis - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Ancient - 74% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

It is worth recalling that the European squad has long refused to use Nuke.

Form MOUZ

The world's eleventh ranked team completely failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they suffered three defeats to Ninjas in Pyjamas, OG and GamerLegion.

However, after that, the European side made it to the IEM Dallas 2023 Finals, where they put up a decent showing but were defeated by ENCE in the Grand Final.

As for Long Sogneg in the play-offs of Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, MOUZ did not feel 500 here, which may indicate a good mood and motivation for this championship.

MOUZ's latest results:

• 2-0 victory over OG.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2-0.
• 2-1 win over Heroic.
• Defeat ENCE by a score of 0-2.
• 2-0 win over 500.

MOUZ top scorers:

• Inferno - 100% wins.
• Ancient - 64% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.

In turn, the European team has been denying Anubis maps for a long time.

Meeting statistics Apeks - MOUZ

In the current season, the teams played one meeting - on the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, MOUZ won (2-0).

Forecast for the match Apeks - MOUZ

Given the trend, Apeks will be a little tougher. Moreover, if the "mice" show the same game as the day before, the opponent will be even more difficult.

To be honest, there's a feeling that Apeks are tired and already want to retire as soon as possible. It's clear that the team won't give up that easily, but the opponent is clearly fresher.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the MOUZ team to win.
