Ennuste ottelussa CS2 MOUZ - sAw

MOUZ and SAW will play in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. Both teams suffered defeats in the Long Stage of the championship. But while this was expected of the Portuguese, the Muskies clearly overachieved and played below their potential.

Nevertheless, MOUZ now have an excellent opportunity to make up for their Long Songpeg debacle. This is easily explained by the fact that SAW are no match for them when it comes to big matches.

So here I would bank on a win for MOUZ, who already had the pleasure of finishing off the Portuguese without a chance a month ago.

MOUZ form

The 10th ranked team in the world played well in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, but failed to show anything in the play-offs and led to the quarter-finals against Cloud9.

MOUZ went to the play-offs of BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they managed to beat Apeks, but still didn't make it to the final due to a loss to FORZE.

Here is the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A European squad unexpectedly lost to B8, putting the issue in perspective.

MOUZ latest results:

• A 2-1 win over paiN Gaming.
• A 1-2 loss to Cloud9.
• 2-0 win over Apeks.
• 0-2 defeat by FORZE.
• 9-16 defeat at the hands of B8 Esports.

MOUZ's best scores:

• Inferno - 60% wins.
• Ancient - 57% wins.

It is worth remembering that the MOUZ team will not risk showing up on the Anubis map.

SAW form

The 32nd team of the world ranking managed to be in the ESL Pro League Season 17, but there distinguished itself with one victory over Imperial Esports, then infamously went home.

The Portuguese side went on to finish fourth in ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe and also reached the quarterfinals of CCT North Europe Series 4 where they lost to GamerLegion.

As for Long Sogpeg at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, SAW expectedly failed to cope with Virtus.pro, showing an all too predictable game that will be even harder to deal with going forward.

SAW's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Endpoint.
• Victory over EYEBALLERS by a score of 2-0.
• A 2-1 win over K23.
• Defeat at the hands of Monte, 0-2.
• Defeat by Virtus.pro 9-16.

Top SAW scores:

• Vertigo - 83% wins.
• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 62% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

The Portuguese team, in turn, have long given up on the Mirage maps.

MOUZ - SAW encounter statistics

In the current season the teams played one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 17 MOUZ won (2-0).

Forecast for MOUZ - SAW

Perhaps even with all their problems, MOUZ has a good chance to take on the Portuguese again. And SAW has no logic at all, because they don't even try to surprise their opponent, they just go ahead. With such an approach, the "mice" will quickly cope, as they showed in Malta. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on MOUZ to win.
