Let's begin our Dota 2 betting prediction with an analysis of MOUZ form. MOUZ was founded back in 2008 and was one of the first professional Dota 2 teams. The squad showed excellent results at the early stages of esports development, but due to frequent roster changes, MOUZ eventually disbanded.

MOUZ roster: Crystallis, MidOne, BOOM, yamich, Seleri.
In the 2025 season, MOUZ continued to participate in a large number of qualifiers but without significant success.
Among their performances at Tier-3 level tournaments, the 5th–6th place at European Pro League Season 23 and the 3rd place at CCT Season 2 Series 3 are worth noting.
In the autumn part of the season, MOUZ made several roster changes and improved their results. The team won the PGL Wallachia Season 6: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and RES Unchained 2: BLAST Slam V Europe Closed Qualifier, securing spots in major tournaments.

Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of OG form. OG is one of the most well-known Dota 2 teams and a two-time The International champion. After a decline in form, the team changed its roster several times until reaching the current one, with which the results have slightly improved.
OG roster: Natsumi-, Yopaj, Nikko, TIMS, skem.
In the 2025 season, OG participated in a large number of qualifiers and tournaments. The team began the season with performances at DreamLeague Season 25: Western Europe Closed Qualifier, PGL Wallachia Season 3: Western Europe Closed Qualifier, and ESL One Raleigh 2025: Western Europe Closed Qualifier, performing successfully only at PGL Wallachia Season 3: Western Europe Closed Qualifier, where they finished 2nd and earned a slot at the main tournament.
OG competed at the Tier-3 tournament Asian Dragon Series: Continental Collision, finishing in 3rd place. They played poorly at PGL Wallachia Season 3. The team suffered 3 losses in the Group Stage and was eliminated from the tournament, finishing 15th–16th.
Next, OG competed at the Tier-3 tournament CCT Series 8. Although the tournament had no well-known teams, OG failed to show a strong result and placed 7th–8th. OG also played in the Esports World Cup 2025: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and The International 2025: Western Europe Closed Qualifier. In the first qualifier, the team performed poorly, finishing 5th–6th, while in the second they played somewhat better, finishing 3rd but failing to qualify for either tournament.
Later, the team’s results improved slightly. OG placed 12th–14th at PGL Wallachia Season 5, being remembered for their victory against Nigma Galaxy. At CCT Season 2 Series 3, OG played quite well and finished 4th.
The team’s first victory of the season came with a championship title at CCT Season 2 Series 4. OG reached the grand final through the lower bracket and defeated TNL, becoming the tournament champions.
After that, the team once again played a large number of qualifiers, but without much success. Following roster changes, OG decided to sign a new lineup — former players of the Aureus team, who had qualified for several Tier-1 tournaments, so the team received slots at these events.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, OG were among the underdogs but demonstrated solid play and a good result. In the Group Stage, the team finished with a 3-1 record, defeating well-known teams such as PV, Tundra Esports, and HEROIC. In the playoffs, the team reached the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals, where they lost to MOUZ and were eliminated, finishing 5th–6th.
At BLAST Slam V, OG surprised everyone again and finished 5th–6th.
