MOUZ Team Overview
📝At the start of the season, MOUZ failed in two major tournaments, which was a consequence of the departure of captain siuhy. However, with the arrival of Spinx, the team's results began to improve again. The Israeli is showing excellent form in his first tournament with the new lineup, and the other players are keeping up with him. The only one lagging in statistics is Brollan. But such is the fate of the IGL, a role he has taken on.

Editor's Prediction
The European team is rightfully considered the favorite in this match, but the capabilities of the Danes should not be underestimated either. Astralis feel confident on the stage and, according to the statistical trend, win with a handicap (+1.5) on maps in 8 of the last 9 matches. Considering the map pool of both sides, we assume that this confrontation may extend to three maps. Therefore, our choice is total over 2.5.
