Matchförutsägelse: MOUZ - Heroic | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Pro League Season 16MOUZ and Heroic will meet in the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 16 group stage. I have some questions about both teams, since both do not seem to me to be the favorites of the championship as a whole.
Moreover, Group C is rich in strong teams, and there are only three spots in the playoffs. So, to some extent, the winner of this confrontation will be one step closer to the TOP-3.
If we talk about MOUZ, the team made another change in the line-up, this time inviting xertioN. However, the main problem of the “mice” is the lack of an intelligent captain, who will again be kinky.
In turn, Heroic has simply exhausted itself, and for several months the team has been coming to the tournament with high hopes, but in the end it fails. Therefore, I definitely will not expect special achievements from the Danes.
MOUZ form
The tenth team in the world ranking showed itself well at IEM Cologne 2022, where they sensationally reached the quarterfinals, in which they lost to Astralis in an equal fight.
Then the team rested to go to the open qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe with renewed vigor. There, MOUZ had no problems, as the team got to the RMR on the first try, having suffered only one defeat from Sprout.
Nevertheless, the "mice" were still unhappy with the result, sending Bymas to inactive. As a result, MOUZ invited xertioN, who, in theory, should be a little better. But this captain's unpredictability personally puzzles me.
Latest MOUZ results:
- Victory over EC Kyiv with a score of 16:7.
- Victory over AGO with a score of 16:6.
- Victory over Portuguese Family with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to Sprout with a score of 14:16.
- Victory over Aurora with a score of 16:6.
Best MOUZ cards:
- Mirage - 89% of wins.
- Overpass - 67% of wins.
- Nuke - 56% win rate
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
Remarkably, the MOUZ team began to abandon the Dust 2 map.
Form Heroic
The thirteenth team in the world ranking, on the contrary, failed at the same IEM Cologne 2022, where it did not even advance from the group to the playoffs, losing to MOUZ in the decisive match.
As a result, the Danish team went to rest, but nothing really changed. Yes, at the start of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, the team even managed to win their quartet by defeating FaZe Clan.
However, what's the use of this, if Heroic failed two meetings further, it also lost to Ninjas in Pajamas.
What is the bottom line - Heroic is still trying to act from the opponent, but for the most part, all the ideas of the team are broken. So far, it's unclear to me exactly how the Danes plan to play further, but without something new, the guys will again continue to stumble out of the blue.
Heroic's latest results:
- Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 10:16.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 16:14.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 16:10.
- Lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to Ninjas in Pajamas with a score of 1:2.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Nuke - 60% win rate.
Let's not forget that the Danish team is also refusing the Dust 2 map.
Match statistics MOUZ — Heroic
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Heroic's victory at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In with a score of 2:1.
- MOUZ won at IEM Cologne 2022 with a score of 2:0.
Remarkably, in both meetings the teams played on the Nuke map.
Prediction for the match MOUZ — Heroic
I can't say enough good things about the Danes. BLAST showed that Heroic continues to have difficulties on LAN, as well as the team in general plays the same way as one and a half or two years ago.
MOUZ also has its obvious shortcomings, so there is also a new player. It is clear that it will not take long to integrate the young sycrone into the system, but we need to see what dexter will be like.
For me personally, this is a match with equal chances for both teams, but given the odds, I'm looking in the direction of the "mice". And Heroic doesn't seem like an unassailable opponent for a long time, especially on stage.
Therefore, here, being safe, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the MOUZ team.
