A similar figure in the coefficient column hints at a close match. It probably will.

108 team of the global world ranking in the status of a favorite only nominally. WePlay Academy League season 5 champions slowed down a bit during the season.

mouz NXT shape

mouz NXT will play catch-up in this match. The chance of the German club to win is estimated at around 1.9.

As it has already become clear above, there is no clear favorite in this match. The teams are approximately at the same level, as the input data indicates.

mouz NXT is ranked 100th in the world rankings. All because of a serious drop in performance this competitive year.

mouz NXT Performance

After a successful 2021, the team has greatly reduced. The regular championships in the WePlay Academy League series of tournaments have been replaced by disappointing places in local competitions.

During the year, the team managed to win the closed qualifiers for REPUBLEAGUE Season 3 and 2 seasons of the WePlay Academy League (3rd and 4th). Next was the 3rd line at MistGames Heroes of Tommorow Fall 2022.

Another solid achievement is TOP-6 at REPUBLEAGUE Season 3.

The performance was definitely affected by massive reshuffles within the team, which ended only by the start of the 6th season of the Academy League.

As part of the WePlay Academy League, mouz NXT played in Group A, where they managed to take 2nd place with a 7-5 statistic. This allowed them to advance to the second round of the Play-In stage and beat OG Academy with a score of 2-1, guaranteeing themselves a place in the playoffs.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams played within the 5th and 4th seasons of the WePlay Academy League. Spirit won 1 match out of 5, but it's worth considering that the rosters were different back then.

Match outcome

In this fight, we expect an equal game. Both teams have shown themselves worthy during the championship and any team can go further.

I'm not leaning too much towards mouz, I think they will be able to snatch the victory thanks to the advantage in the map pool. In turn, Spirit is stronger individually.

The most save outcome I see is over 2.5.

Result: total +2.5.
