Förutsägelse om match CS2 MOUZ - Cloud9

MOUZ and Cloud9 will meet as part of the second quarterfinal of IEM Rio Major 2022. I think it makes little sense to talk about favorites and outsiders here, since everything is clear without words.

I will say that the “mice” showed an excellent game the day before, having managed to put pressure on ENCE thanks to their strong motivation. But dexter won't be showing this game on a regular basis, nor is MOUZ's sniper visible on the server.

In turn, the Russian team needs no introduction. And after a disastrous start at the major as a whole, Cloud9 managed to accomplish the incredible, and not in terms of the result, but in the context of its adaptation to the development of events.

It remains to be hoped that two days of rest will not greatly affect the preparation of the team, which, by the way, is now the main favorite in the championship.

MOUZ form

The seventh team in the world ranking had a very cool start at IEM Rio Major 2022. As a result, the “mouse” got three victories at the Challengers stage, where they outplayed Outsiders, Evil Geniuses and fnatic in a row.

Then MOUZ started with an unexpectedly devastating victory over Team Liquid, but then something went wrong. As a result, the European team got into a web of events, alternating victories and defeats.

However, after another disastrous match with the Outsiders, the team managed to outplay ENCE to make it to the playoffs. However, MOUZ is still not impressive in terms of the game, and I am not sure that the “mouse” will change something in one day.

Latest MOUZ results:

• Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 16:2.
• Defeated by BIG with a score of 7:16.
• Victory over Vitality with a score of 19:17.
• Lost to the Outsiders with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over ENCE with a score of 2:1.

Best MOUZ cards:

• Mirage - 73% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 62% of wins.
• Ancient - 56% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

Let's not forget that the "mice" continue to refuse the Dust 2 map.

Form Cloud9

The fifth team in the world ranking unexpectedly failed at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, as it managed to lose to fnatic and Grayhound Gaming already on the first game day.

However, Cloud9 managed to improve its position further to get three victories over Imperial Esports, Evil Geniuses and GamerLegion in a row, and then go to the "legends".

Here the team had its finest hour, as it passed three opponents, each of whom was among the contenders for the championship. In general, Cloud9 left FaZe Clan, NAVI and Heroic with a nose, somewhere showing character, and somewhere just moving on the class.

Latest Cloud9 results:

• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over GamerLegion with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over Natus Vincere with a score of 16:14.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:0.

Best Cloud9 Maps:

• Overpass - 88% of wins.
• Mirage - 83% of wins.
• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

In turn, the Russian team continues to refuse the Nuke card.

Prediction for the match MOUZ — Cloud9

It seems that the "mice" will focus on Ancient or Inferno, but not everything is so obvious here either, since the current level of Cloud9's preparation is admirable.

In addition, the Russian team will have an obvious advantage on the remaining maps, while the lack of space from the MOUZ sniper will again open up zones in front of the opponent.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Cloud9 team.
