FaZe Clan and MOUZ will play in the final round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. Let's not forget that the loser won't lose the chance to go to the majors, but will get to the extra stage, where there will be a chop.
In this case I would like to see a sensation, but objectively the "mice" did not play for Paris, as even in the course of the qualifying tournament MOUZ showed a terrible game. However, there are also questions about FaZe Clan, who first lost to NAVI in a dramatic way, and then played poorly against Bad News Eagles and made their lives very difficult.
Nevertheless, here I would lean on FaZe Clan to win, as the "mice" team could try to make a comeback.
FaZe Clan's form
The second team in the world rankings won the recent ESL Pro League Season 17, showing confident play-offs, while smearing Cloud9 in the grand-finals.
As for Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the European squad managed to outplay OG and Apeks, continuing to press on with their experience.
Next, however, FaZe Clan began to have big problems, as the team took no losses in their next two matches against Natus Vincere and Bad News Eagles, hanging on by a thread.
FaZe Clan's latest results:
- A 3-1 win over Cloud9.
- 16-10 win over OG.
- Victory over Apeks by a score of 16-13.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Natus Vincere.
- Defeat by Bad News Eagles 0-2.
Top scorers of the FaZe Clan:
- Inferno - 78% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Overpass - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 57% wins.
Let's not forget that the FaZe Clan has long refused to use Vertigo.
Form MOUZ
The tenth team in the world rankings played horribly in the play-offs BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where, although they beat Apeks, but further without a chance flew away from FORZE.
At the BLAST.tv Long Conpeg Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the Mice started in serious trouble as they were quickly defeated by B8 Esports and Falcons, only getting one victory over SAW.
However, MOUZ did manage to beat Virtus.pro the day before, but that was more to the credit of their opponent, who was in the hole. All in all, I wouldn't count on a team that has run out of ideas just yet.
Recent MOUZ results:
- A 0-2 defeat to FORZE.
- A 9-16 loss to B8 Esports.
- A 16-12 win over SAW.
- 8-16 defeat by Falcons.
- 2-0 win over Virtus.pro.
MOUZ top scorers:
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
In turn, the European team does not risk showing up on the Anubis map.
FaZe Clan - MOUZ encounter statistics
During the last season, the teams have played two meetings:
- FaZe Clan's 2-1 win at the IEM Katowice 2022 Play-In.
- FaZe Clan won the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A by a score of 2-0.
In both cases, the teams played on Nuke and Inferno cards.
Forecast for the match FaZe Clan - MOUZ
We'll dispense with any lengthy speeches, because the RMR-tournament went way beyond logic a long time ago. Currently, both favourites are in an unenviable position, although with two victories they managed to protect themselves from an absolute collapse.
On the other hand, MOUZ has been in trouble for a long time, so count on the "mice" in such a match - think for yourself. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on FaZe Clan's victory.
