Heroic and MOUZ will fight for the right to get into the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. According to what we saw a few minutes ago, MOUZ has no chances to defeat Heroic at all.
At the same time, the Danes showed a very confident start in the championship, tearing Sprout apart. And if the wards of Xizt show the same level of play and attitude, then they will close the opponent without a chance.
Well, the “mice” should wish good luck in finding their game, because now the team does not look at all from the word “completely”. And the comeback that the team gave on Nuke will not work another time.
Form Heroic
The tenth team in the world ranking from the last one became the winner of the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, losing only fnatic in that championship. However, then the Danes finally untwisted, having obtained the first victory in a long time.
Then there was the transfer of jabbi from Copenhagen Flames, who was replaced in the line-up by refrezh. At a distance, Heroic definitely didn’t do worse, but I wouldn’t expect anything special either.
However, at the start of the IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the team simply ran Sprout without a chance, giving up only three rounds on Overpass. I think that after this Heroic will go further without any problems, because the opponent got handy.
Heroic's latest results:
- 2-0 victory over fnatic.
- Victory over Finest with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 16:3.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Overpass - 89% of wins.
- Inferno - 86% of wins.
- Mirage - 62% of wins.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
I believe that the Danish team will continue to refuse the Dust 2 map.
MOUZ form
The 18th team of the world ranking visited the Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 a month ago, where, not to my surprise, they made it to the finals, but still lost to the Swedes from NIP with a young and green ztr on the captain.
Then the European team went to Roobet Cup 2022, where they failed to reach the playoffs at all, losing to ENCE and Eternal Fire. As they say, even with a victory over Imperial, there is nothing to catch, and the "mice" went home.
Well, at the start of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, MOUZ had problems, as the team almost lost to paiN Gaming. Of course, with the exception of Nuke, the guys have nothing to choose from, but not so much that they give away the B site over and over again.
Latest MOUZ results:
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to ENCE with a score of 1:2.
- Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 19:16.
Best MOUZ cards:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Vertigo - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 64% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
It is worth saying that the European team has stopped appearing on the Dust 2 map.
Heroic vs MOUZ match statistics
As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at PGL Major Stockholm 2021 Challengers Stage, the victory went to Heroic (16:11).
Prediction for the match Heroic — MOUZ
It's definitely not worth looking at the only meeting of the teams, since enough time has passed, although MOUZ began to play even worse. In fact, I doubt that the "mice" will be able to create intrigue in this match, since the team does not play at all.
In turn, Heroic is set too seriously. And if the Danish team plays exactly the same as on Overpass, then this is an easy rout for the guys.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Heroic team with a score of 2:0.
