Prediction on match CS2 MOUZ - Vitality

MOUZ and Vitality will play in the starting BO1 at IEM Winter 2021. The French surprised at the last tournament, having managed to reach the grand final with a half-dead line-up. However, I still hope that MOUZ did not just sit in the shadows so as not to prepare for the opponent. Yes, and I continue to say that in the current roster Vitality will not achieve anything.

MOUZ shape

The 17th team in the world rankings failed in DreamHack Open November 2021, failing to reach the playoffs. We are still talking about the sniper candidacy, since acoR frankly does not pull. However, MOUZ has a couple of bright spots to cling to. One of them is ropz. And together with competent calls from the captain, the team can shoot, especially in BO1.

Recent results MOUZ:

• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2: 0.
• Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 1: 2.
• Defeat from MAD Lions with a score of 1: 2.
• Victory over GamerLegion with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to MAD Lions with a score of 0: 2.

Best MOUZ cards:

• Vertigo - 71% wins.
• Ancient - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.
• Inferno - 50% wins.

The team will probably ban Overpass and Dust 2. Although it is worth considering Nuke as well.

Vitality Form

The second team of the world rating unexpectedly became the second in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021. At the same time, the French seemed to have shown a confident game against Astralis, having buried a new roster twice. At the same time, the team closed the NAVI series on Nuke, which in the current situation is already an achievement. However, I continue to doubt the prospects of the team, which only plays ZywOo.

Recent Vitality results:

• Victory over Liquid with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat against NAVI with a score of 0: 2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2: 1.
• Defeat from NAVI with a score of 1: 2.

Best Vitality Cards:

• Vertigo - 78% wins.
• Mirage - 70% wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 58% wins.
• Nuke - 58% wins.

The French have never played Ancient before, and along the way they stopped appearing on the Overpass map.

Meeting statistics MOUZ - Vitality

During the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 13 Vitality won (2: 0).

Forecast for the match MOUZ - Vitality

For some reason it seems to me that in this series we will see Mirage or Inferno. Anyway, I still have doubts about Vitality, which includes Kyojin (well, this is complete darkness). And the "mice" must have prepared for the last tournament of the season, not just practicing for the last two weeks. Therefore, here I propose to take a risk and bet on the victory of the MOUZ team.
