MOUZ vs Liquid Prediction 13 June 2025
🔊 A clash of disappointments from Stage 3 at the BLAST.tv Austin Major. Both MOUZ and Liquid entered the tournament as formidable contenders, yet after two rounds, they find themselves on the brink of elimination. MOUZ currently hold the No. 2 spot in the HLTV world rankings. A loss here would spell the end of their major journey. Liquid, the last hope for the NA region, are already teetering on the edge of elimination, following in the footsteps of their fellow American teams. Despite their 0-2 record, MOUZ have lost to scene giants VP and FaZe, and still have a chance to bounce back. At stake isn't just survival, but also shedding the "0-3 loser" tag, a label the community will long remember thanks to CS pick'ems.
Head-to-Head
Since the start of 2025, with updated rosters, the teams have faced off three times. The score stands at 2-1 in favor of the European side. Today, the "Horses" don't have many chances, but who knows, perhaps Kamil Shkaradek has a surprise in store?

MOUZ Team Overview
MOUZ seem to have known from the start that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. Losses to VP and FaZe are nothing to be ashamed of, especially since they battled until the very end in both matches. The scores reflect that the "mice" aren't ready to back down without a fight: VP edged them out 13-11, while FaZe took it 13-10. The key takeaway is that MOUZ have a plan. Their preparation, structure, and effective coaching staff suggest that even with a 0-2 start, they can still finish the stage 3-2 and advance. Spinx deserves special mention, as he's been carrying the team and has already become their driving force. Against a weaker opponent, this could be the decisive factor. It's no surprise that bookmakers consider MOUZ the favorites: they've got class, depth, and higher motivation.

Liquid Team Overview
Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Losses to The Mongolz and Lynn Vision aren't just warning signs; they're full-blown distress signals. Ultimate's dreadful form, a lack of attacking ideas, and questionable map picks suggest the team has been running on autopilot, devoid of any spark. Liquid are the last American team in the tournament, but at this rate, they might soon be watching the Major from the stands. Rumors of impending roster changes are swirling, and if they lose today, it could very well be the final straw. Liquid look like a team that doesn't believe in themselves, and against opponents who are still hungry to fight, that's a recipe for disaster. Their saving grace could have been a map pool featuring Anubis as their first pick, but even here lies a major issue. For MOUZ, Anubis is a permaban. We're expecting a performance today on Ancient or Dust2.

Editor's Prediction
Amidst two disappointing starts, MOUZ appear as a team with a chance for resurgence, while Liquid seem like a squad already mentally preparing for the next season, where they'll attempt to find their form. In this scenario, we are inclined to fully trust the favorite, considering the difference in player skill and round strategies. Our prediction and bet: a confident MOUZ victory with a -1.5 handicap and the elimination of North America's last hope from the major.
