3DMAX vs MOUZ Prediction 30 July 2026
π The BLAST Bounty Season 2 is wrapping up in Malta, and in this quarterfinal clash, the revamped 3DMAX will take on the European lineup of MOUZ. The French squad barely scraped through the previous stage, relying on a mix of luck and grit to secure their spot in the playoffs-where they themselves chose to face the βmice.β However, the gulf in class and overall team structure is likely to be on full display here. The loser heads home, while the winner advances to the semifinals. Both sides are highly motivated, especially with most of the tournament favorites already eliminated, opening up a real shot at making the final.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head history is entirely in MOUZβs favor. In previous seasons, the βmiceβ swept all maps against the French squad, recording clean victories at PGL Cluj-Napoca, ESL Pro League, and the Perfect World Shanghai Major. For 3DMAX, this series is not only an opportunity to pull off another upset but also a chance to break their unfavorable record in direct encounters.
Head-to-head statistics 3DMAX - MOUZ

3DMAX Team Overview
After a disappointing season that saw them miss out on the Major, the French side opted for targeted changes and brought in Kursy as a rifler. The revamped lineup-featuring Maka, Lucky, misutaaa, and Graviti-looked shaky at the XSE Pro League, but managed to scrape into the playoffs at BLAST. Their series against magic was a gritty comeback, while the clean sweep over FUT showcased a more composed display. The team has had some reps on Cache, but itβs hard to call their play convincing just yet. 3DMAXβs main issue remains the inconsistency of their individuals. To upset the favorites in a Bo3, the French squad will need every player to deliver the performance of their lives-a scenario that seems rather unlikely.

MOUZ Team Overview
This year has been a turning point for MOUZ. The team shifted their development strategy, handing the captaincy to xertioN and reinforcing the roster with promising youngsters xelex and PR. During the online stage, the βmiceβ cruised past their opponents without facing any real resistance. Although they havenβt lifted any major trophies recently, the structure of their play and the individual skill of the Spinx-xertioN-torzsi trio consistently give MOUZ the edge against teams like 3DMAX. The squad look far more stable and boast a deeper map pool. Itβs also worth highlighting sycroneβs impact-his work with the players and his smart calls during timeouts have been instrumental.

β Editorβs Prediction
The French side took a bold gamble by picking MOUZ in the bracket, but class is expected to prevail on stage. Thanks to superior aim, discipline, and a deeper map pool, the European mix enter as clear favourites. Given 3DMAXβs shaky form across most maps, a 2-0 victory for MOUZ looks well within reach. For the French to steal even a single map, theyβll need to deliver something extraordinary. Yes, 3DMAX might once again bank on the still-untested Cache, but if they drop it to magic, nerves could force them into Inferno or Dust2-maps where MOUZ have traditionally been rock solid.
