Head-to-Head
The teams have faced off multiple times this year, with nearly every series turning into a drama.

Back then, Vitality underestimated their opponents, but now they're ready for revenge. History repeats itself, but this time the stakes are much higher-a ticket to the final against either Aurora or FURIA.

Vitality Team Overview
Roster: Brollan, Spinx, xertioN, torzsi, Jimpphat
MOUZ have confidently navigated the group stage, playing their game with composure, calmness, and without unnecessary panic. This year, the team has transformed into a perfectly balanced machine. Brollan leads the squad with remarkable poise; at 23, he controls the pace like a seasoned veteran. Spinx consistently racks up frags and becomes the impact center, while xertioN is back to his peak form-aggressive, decisive, and extremely valuable in entry plays. Despite some flaws, Jimpphat has gained confidence and adapted to the top-tier scene. Torzsi is finally finding consistency-his AWP has become a real pressure factor and a safety net for the team in tough situations. MOUZ's main strength lies in their discipline and cold precision. The team never drops morale, knows how to come back both mentally and tactically. Every round is a calculated decision, every series is an analysis and adaptation to the opponent's style.

MOUZ Team Overview
Lineup: ZywOo, ropz, mezii, flameZ, apEX
Vitality have battled their way into the semifinals, but not without difficulty-the series against Astralis proved to be a tough challenge. The French side fell in overtime on Nuke, and only managed to edge out a win on Mirage thanks to individual brilliance and cool-headed strategy. It's clear that not all players are at their peak: ZywOo isn't shining as brightly as fans are used to, yet he remains the heart of the team. Ropz and flameZ are carrying the attacks, creating space and breaking down opponents' positions. Mezii has become a cornerstone of stability-his macro game understanding is impressive. Fan favorite apEX continues to be the engine of the lineup: he shouts when needed, inspires when necessary, but can tilt if things don't go according to plan. Vitality's problem lies in their overconfidence, even though their form is far from perfect. If the French side doesn't increase their pace and add variety, they will face a tough battle against MOUZ.

Editor's Prediction
This match promises to be long, intense, and emotionally draining. MOUZ appear cohesive, confident, and well-coordinated. They maintain focus, avoid panic, and know how to capitalize on their opponent's weaknesses to close out the map. In contrast, Vitality seem stuck between states-experience is intact, but they lack spark and momentum. If MOUZ deliver the same level of performance and synergy as they did in the group stage, they have every chance to come out on top once again. Editor's prediction: MOUZ victory. Right now, they appear hungrier and more composed. In a match where it's crucial not only to shoot but also to withstand pressure, MOUZ hold the advantage. They've already proven they can edge out top teams-and they're ready to confirm it once more.
