Match Prediction: MOUZ - Vitality | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Rio Major 2022MOUZ and Vitality will play in the third round of the main stage of IEM Rio Major 2022. The winner does not guarantee anything, just as the loser will remain afloat.
And yet, I must admit that I greatly underestimated Vitality, who, after a close defeat from NAVI, managed to defeat FaZe Clan, and even on the Inferno map.
In turn, MOUZ was slightly overestimated, because after the defeat of Team Liquid, the team managed to lose to BIG. In such a situation, I see no reason to look for the advantages of "mice", since ZywOo and the company caught a certain courage.
MOUZ form
The ninth team of the world ranking showed a very solid game at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022. As a result, the "mouse" got three victories at the Challengers stage, shutting out Outsiders, Evil Geniuses and fnatic in turn.
However, at the start of the next stage, MOUZ did not stop, and already in the first round, the team simply destroyed Team Liquid with their phenomenal game on Inferno.
And yet, the second round spoiled the picture a lot, because here the European team failed to cope with BIG and flew into the baffle. At least, after such a defeat, it will be much more difficult for the guys psychologically, since they were frankly put in their place.
Latest MOUZ results:
- Victory over the Outsiders with a score of 16:6.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 16:10.
- 2:1 victory over fnatic.
- Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 16:2.

- Inferno - 67% of wins.

Let's not forget that the "mice" continue to refuse the Dust 2 map.
Form Vitality
The second team of the world ranking managed to fail at BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe, where, after defeating TYLOO, they failed to cope with Astralis.
Then Vitality came to IEM Rio Major 2022, where they managed to suffer two defeats from GamerLegion and Outsiders, but still made it to the "legends" after two labor victories in a row.
Already here the Danish-French team began to add a little. But if in the first case Vitality lost to NAVI, albeit on the case, then the team slammed FaZe Clan next.

- Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 12:16.
- Victory over Grayhound Gaming with a score of 2:0.

- Vertigo - 78% of wins.
- Inferno - 62% of wins.

- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the Danish-French team continues to refuse the Ancient map.

Prediction for the match MOUZ — Vitality
Looking back at the match with BIG, I got tired of believing in mice. Still, MOUZ has weaknesses, and if someone turns off - write it down. In turn, the Danish-French team keeps up. Moreover, the last victory over FaZe Clan greatly cheered up the quotes of the guys. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Vitality team.
