Tundra Esports vs MOUZ Line-Ups
Tundra Esports roster has remained stable for a long time. The team has been playing together for a while, which has allowed them to develop strong coordination, synergy, and macro understanding. In addition, the team has very strong performers in 33 and Whitemon, who are among the best players in their roles on the professional scene.
MOUZ formed their current roster in the second half of 2025. Despite the relatively short time playing together, the roster quickly found balance, which is confirmed by solid results at Tier-1 tournaments.
Tundra Esports Form & Performance
Over the last 6 months, Tundra Esports have remained one of the strongest teams and have demonstrated consistently high results. The analysis should begin from the middle of the previous season.
The analysis should start with PGL Wallachia Season 5. Tundra Esports did not perform as convincingly as in previous tournaments. In the group stage, the team finished with a 3–2 record, and in the playoffs unexpectedly suffered defeats against Gaimin Gladiators and NAVI, exiting the tournament in the top 8.
At one of the main tournaments of the season — Esports World Cup 2025 — Tundra Esports were considered favorites. Despite a decent start, the team failed to fully execute their strategies: they were eliminated in the semifinals and later lost the third-place match, finishing the tournament in 4th place.
During the break between major tournaments, the team also participated in Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. There were not many serious opponents at the event, and as a result, Tundra Esports took 2nd place.
At the main tournament of the year, The International 2025, Tundra Esports were again considered among the favorites, but in the early stages the team looked unconvincing. The roster finished the group stage with a 2–3 record, and in the elimination stage defeated Team Liquid 2–1, advancing to the playoffs.
In the upper bracket quarterfinals, Tundra Esports faced Xtreme Gaming and, despite a solid level of play, lost 0–2. In the lower bracket, the team unexpectedly lost to HEROIC, were eliminated from the tournament, and finished TI 2025 in 7–8th place.
The next tournament for Tundra Esports was BLAST Slam IV. The team immediately started at a high level, winning the group stage with a 9–2 record and advancing to the playoffs. In the semifinals, Tundra Esports defeated MOUZ, and in the grand final they beat Team Falcons, becoming tournament champions.
Unlike the BLAST Slam series, Tundra Esports perform worse at PGL Wallachia. At PGL Wallachia Season 6, Tundra Esports finished in the top 8, just like in the previous tournament of this series.
At BLAST Slam V, the team once again had no equal. In the group stage, Tundra Esports posted a 10–1 record, and in the playoffs defeated their opponents without much difficulty, becoming tournament champions. Tundra Esports are the most successful participants in the BLAST series, having won four times in a row.
At DreamLeague Season 27, Tundra Esports performed slightly below expectations, finishing the tournament in the top 6.
It is also worth noting the high-quality play of Tundra Esports against top teams. The roster confidently competes against teams from the top ten of the rankings.
BLAST Slam VI is the first tournament for Tundra Esports in the 2026 season, and the main question is whether they will be able to win for the fifth consecutive time.
Tundra Esports are among the strongest teams, especially when it comes to BLAST Slam series tournaments. At other Tier-1 events, the team does not always demonstrate consistent performances, but they almost always reach the playoffs. Their main challenge remains versatility and consistency at tournaments with different formats and levels of competition.

MOUZ are one of the teams that made significant progress last season. Over the past six months, the team managed to rise from lower tiers to Tier-1.
MOUZ’s rise began at BLAST Slam IV. On the eve of the tournament, the team radically changed their roster by signing high-quality players. In the group stage, the team finished with a 7–4 record, unexpectedly securing wins over HEROIC, Team Liquid, and Team Spirit. In the Play-In, MOUZ defeated Team Aureus and advanced to the playoffs. In the quarterfinals, MOUZ beat Team Spirit, but in the semifinals they lost to Tundra Esports and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 3–4th place.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, MOUZ were also not considered favorites and even played with two stand-ins. Despite this, the team demonstrated an unexpectedly high level of play. In the group stage, the team secured 3 wins and 1 loss, and in the playoffs reached the grand final through the lower bracket and defeated Team Spirit, becoming tournament champions.
At BLAST Slam V, MOUZ were already taken much more seriously. The team finished the group stage with a 7–4 record, defeated Yakult Brothers in the Play-In, and qualified for the playoffs. In the playoffs, MOUZ beat NAVI, but once again lost to Tundra Esports and finished the tournament in 3–4th place.
At DreamLeague Season 27, MOUZ performed below expectations. In the group stage, the team posted a 3–3 record and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 9–16th place.
The 2026 season for MOUZ began with DreamLeague Season 28: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and ESL One Birmingham 2026: Western Europe Closed Qualifier, successfully qualifying for the main stages of both tournaments.
Over the last 6 months, MOUZ have gone from an unstable lower-division roster to a consistent Tier-1 scene participant. One of the main factors behind their success was a successful roster move and the rapid adaptation of new players to a high level of competition.

The teams have played each other 7 times, and Tundra Esports have won all 7 matches. The most recent match took place at BLAST Slam VI: Group Stage (Online, Bo1), where Tundra Esports won 1-0.
Best Pick For Match Tundra Esports vs MOUZ
Considering the form of both teams, their results at Tier-1 tournaments, and their head-to-head matches, Tundra Esports have higher chances of winning. Although the team performed unsuccessfully at the previous tournament, they are still considered one of the strongest teams at the professional level. MOUZ have demonstrated a sharp improvement in results, but the team has not yet reached the status of a consistent contender for top placements at Tier-1 tournaments.
Betting Prediction: Tundra Esports win.
