We will see who will be stronger in the match Furia - MOUZ and will pass to the next stage, and the loser will leave the championship at the TOP-8 stage.

Let's go.

MOUZ Form

Let's open the match with an analysis of MOUZ's form. In this match they play the first number one with odds to win at around 1.17.

One of MOUZ's major achievements last season was reaching the final of the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023. There they battled ENCE, but were defeated 0-2.

Prior to Long Cologne IEM Cologne MOUZ made a splash at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. They failed to jump above the top 4 - they were beaten by Apeks on their way to the Grand Final.

Back in the season, they made it to the top 8 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and then to the event itself. It didn't end well, as the team finished Top-24 at Major e.

• MOUZ line-up: Brollan, siuhy, torzsi, Jimpphat, xertioN.

IEM Cologne 2023 will be a test for the new line-up of the "mice". After Elisa Spring, siuhy, who previously played for GamerLegion, and Jimpphat, who came from the youth team of MOUZ Nxt, joined the squad.

In the debut match, the revamped MOUZ roster played against The MongolZ. An easy outing on paper ended in a nervous Bo1 on the dopes, followed by a 22-19 win for MOUZ on Nuke.

Already in the match to qualify for the group stage MOUZ were much more confident. They beat NiP 2-0 (16-12 Nuke and 16-7 Inferno) without any problems.

The first match of the group stage was not a big challenge for MOUZ either. NaVi lost at Ancient with a score of 16-9 and Overpass with a score of 16-12.

After beating NaVi, MOUZ failed to gain a foothold and they lost the next two series. As a result, the "mice" at IEM Cologne 2023 took the top 12.

Before ESL Pro League Season 18, the team played at the local championship Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1. They managed to win, defeating BIG 2-0 in the grand finals.

In their debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18, MOUZ faced mibr. Being the favourites, MOUZ failed to defeat the Brazilians and unexpectedly ended up in the bottom of Group B.

The group stage was a mixed bag for MOUZ, but still more successful than not. An unexpected defeat in the top set cheered MOUZ up and they effortlessly went over the heads of their opponents, Heroic among them, at the bottom of the group stage table. Having not lost a single game in the lower grid, MOUZ made it here.

In the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 18 play-offs, MOUZ seemed to be off the chain. The Brazilians from FURIA were literally stomped, and the "mice" celebrated an easy 2-0 victory, giving their opponents a total of 9 rounds per game.

In the match before that MOUZ met another grandee of the European scene - FaZe Clan. "Mice" on a spree swept through the match and closed the series with a score of 2-0.

In the match for the exit here MOUZ met G2 Esports. They became the next trophy in the "mice" piggy bank at ESL Pro League S18.

MOUZ went on to defeat ENCE (2-1) and NaVi in the EPL S18 Grand Final with a resounding 3-0 score. Prior to the Thunderpick World Championship 2023, MOUZ played at IEM Sydney 2023, where they again faced FaZe. This time FaZe retaliated for the upset defeat and knocked MOUZ out at the Top 4 stage.

Thunderpick World Championship 2023 MOUZ ended prematurely. They lost in the first round of play-offs to FaZe, who later became the tournament champions.

Later was the CS Asia Championship 2023, where MOUZ performed well. They reached the grand finals, but there they lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 0-2.

At Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 MOUZ started their performance with a rather unexpected defeat. They defeated Apeks 16-19 in the first round of the group stage. Next up was a match with CoL for life at the event, which the "mice" won with a one-card deficit. However, they couldn't stay in the championship race for long: MOUZ crashed out at the Top 6 stage.

After that, it was BLAST Premier: World Final 2023, where the "mice" took TOP-4. This was the last tournament of the 2023 season. They started the 2024 season with a top-7 finish at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier B. Next up was IEM Katowice 2024, where Mice finished in the top 4.

At PGL Major CS2 Copenhagen 2024, they made their way from TOP-1-2 to European RMR B. At the tournament itself, Mice started off with a win over Ecstatic and then beat Eternal Fire, which gave them a 2-0 lead.

Next up was IEM China 2024, where MOUZ continued to "dial it up". This time the team managed to reach the grand final, but FaZe were stronger.

MOUZ were very confident in the play-offs of ESL Pro League Season 19. They also confidently swept through the play-offs championship and won the tournament by shutting out Vitality 3-0 in the grand finals.

MOUZ attended IEM Dallas 2024 where they finished in the top 12, which is a very difficult result for a team of MOUZ's calibre.

Esports World Cup 2024 MOUZ started with a match against Sashi Esports, where they won 2-1, which again is not great.

MOUZ Mapple

MOUZ's favourite card remains Inferno. The Mouses have played it three times in the last 3 months and won all their games there. Nuke is also doing well, with MOUZ winning 3 out of 4 Nuke games played.

Among the good options are Vertigo and Ancient, where MOUZ have 2 wins in 3 games each.

The most undesirable map is Mirage. MOUZ have played it 6 times, but have only won once.

FURIA Form.

We continue the analysis of the match FURIA - MOUZ with the analysis of FURIA's form. The Brazilians play here as the number two with odds to win around 3.3.

Furia have travelled to over 10 tournaments over the year, but the successes have been mediocre. Their most high-profile win was a Top 1 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, which gave them a mark at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.

Furia finished their only Major of the season on a Minor note. They failed to rise above the top 16 and were not given by G2 Esports. The misfortunes of the Brazilians did not end there.

Before the ESL Pro League Long Season, the team failed the following events: IEM Masters Dallas 2023 (TOP-12), Thunderpick World Championship 2023 (TOP-16), and Gamers8 2023 (TOP-16).

• FURIA line-up: yuurih, skullz, KSCERATO, FalleN, chelo.

Just before the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Round, FURIA played at Pinnacle Cup V, where they managed to reach the Top 2. This was the most breakthrough result since the American RMR.

At ESL Pro League Season 18 FURIA played in Basket A. They got to the bottom net after the first round, and from there they went to the last chance net after the second round. There they cameback, defeating Grayhound and GamerLegion, thus getting their slot in the play-offs.

However, they didn't manage to play in the play-offs. In the first round FURIA ran into MOUZ, who became the champions of the prestigious event. As you have already guessed, FURIA lost and with a score of 0-2.

Next, the Brazilians played at a few more events. It was BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown, with a top-4 for FURIA after losing to Complexity, and also BGS Esports 2023, with a win there.

FURIA entered the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs pretty confident. They won Group A, ending their two matches with a win.

In the opening match of the Roobet Cup 2023 play-offs FURIA played against Apeks. The Europeans put up a fight, twice taking 11 rounds per card, but it wasn't enough: Furia won 2-0.

Next, FURIA faced Vp in the semi-finals, where they finished their journey to Roobet Cup 2023. After a top-4 finish there, they repeated the result at PARI, Please.

In their opening match at Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, FURIA started with a win over Complexity. Next was a play-offs match against Apeks, where the Brazilians failed to build on their success and lost 0-2.

In the final match of the group stage FURIA played against MOUZ. Being the underdog, the Brazilians managed to oust one of the main contenders to win the Elisa Masters Espoo and qualify for the play-offs. In the end, FURIA performed very well and took the tournament championship by beating Apeks (3-1) in the grand final.

Next were BB Dacha, where FURIA finished top-6, top-24 at IEM Katowice 2024, top-6 at RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024 and then qualifiers for top tournaments. And if at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas Furia was unlucky, they lost in the final 9z, but at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR the team managed to win and qualify for the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major from the American region.

At the tournament itself, FURIA are looking pretty bad so far. FalleN and company lost to their former teammate coldzera in Legacy, as well as Lynn Vision, and managed to win only against KOI, who have already left the championship.

In the next match at PGL CS 2 Copenhagen Major 2024 FURIA beat ENCE. And they beat ENCE 2-0, without much of a chance. In the match for the Elimination Stage they beat sAw, but then they failed to control: at the end of the Elimination Stage Furia won 2-3 and left the World Championship.

Before the ESL Pro League Season 19, FURIA played at IEM China 2024, where they finished top-12. In the first round of ESL Pro League Season 19 FURIA opened with a match against Liquid and Ledge played the Americans with the score 1-2. Then - even The International heresnier: match against forZe, where FURIA being the favourite went 0-2, so they lost their peak with the score 0-13. In the next match they met BNK and at least there they won on class. However, they failed to reach the top 20.

Before playing at EWC 2024, they played at several Minor CCT tournaments, where they didn't achieve much results.

Esports World Cup 2024 started with a match against NaVi, where Ledge played 0-2. However, then at the Last Chance stage they went through FlyQuest, Sashi and finally TheMongolz

FURIA Mapple

The best map of FURIA remains Vertigo, the Brazilians have played there 5 times and won in 3 maps. Next comes Mirage, already with 7 games and 4-3 stats.

Neutral choice for Furia will be Nuke and Ancient. There the Brazilians have 6 maps and the score is 3-3 on each.

The worst is Overpass (2-3) and Inferno (1-2).

History of personal meetings MOUZ - FURIA

In 2024 they played at IEM China 2024, where MOUZ won.

Predicted result of Furia vs MOUZ at Esports World Cup 2024

In this match I am expecting a very good Counter-Strike. Furia after a serious comeback through the tournament have gained morale and they can play on that. I think the Brazilians will pull the card.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Furia.
