Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to follow the action at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025. The playoffs are in full swing and there are 4 teams left in the race for the $150,000 grand prize.
Among the contenders for the championship are MOUZ and Eternal Fire. One of these two will advance to the grand final.
Let's try to figure out which of the Eternal Fire - MOUZ pair will be stronger and play in the grand final of the tournament on March 30.
Let's go.
MOUZ Form
We open the analysis of the match MOUZ – Eternal Fire with an analysis of the game form of MOUZ. In this match they play as favorites with a coefficient of victory in the region of 1.7.
- MOUZ composition: torzsi, xertioN, Jimphat, Brollan, Spinx.
In the debut match of IEM Cologne 2023, MOUZ played The MongolZ. An easy walk on paper ended in a nervous bo1 in the overtime, with MOUZ winning 22-19 on Nuke.
Already in the match for the group stage, MOUZ were much more confident. They easily beat NiP with a score of 2-0 (16-12 Nuke and 16-7 Inferno).
The first match of the group stage was not a serious test for MOUZ either. NaVi lost on Ancient with a score of 16-9 and Overpass with a score of 16-12.
After defeating NaVi, MOUZ failed to gain a foothold and lost the next two series. As a result, the “mice” took the TOP-12 at IEM Cologne 2023.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18, the team played in the local championship Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1. They managed to win, beating BIG 2-0 in the grand final.
In their debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18, MOUZ faced mibr. Being the favorites, the “mice” were unable to overcome the Brazilians and quite unexpectedly found themselves in the lower bracket of Group B.
The group stage for MOUZ was a mixed bag, but still more successful than not. A surprise upper bracket loss galvanized MOUZ and they effortlessly ran over opponents, including Heroic, at the bottom of the group stage. Without dropping a single map in the lower bracket, MOUZ made it here.
In the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 18 playoffs, MOUZ seemed to go wild. The Brazilians from FURIA were literally trampled, and the “mice” celebrated an easy victory with a score of 2-0, giving up a total of 9 rounds to their opponents during the game.
In the match before this, MOUZ met another giant of the European scene – FaZe Clan. The “mice” rushed through the match with courage and closed the series with a score of 2-0.
In the match for the entry here, MOUZ met G2 Esports. They became another trophy in the piggy bank of the “mice” at ESL Pro League S18.
MOUZ then went on to defeat ENCE (2-1) and NaVi in the EPL S18 Grand Final with a crushing 3-0 score. Before competing at Thunderpick World Championship 2023, MOUZ played at IEM Sydney 2023, where they faced FaZe again. This time, FaZ responded to the disappointing defeat and knocked MOUZ out at the Top 4 stage.
Thunderpick World Championship 2023 ended prematurely for MOUZ. They lost in the first round of the playoffs to FaZe, who later became the champions of the tournament.
Later there was the CS Asia Championship 2023, where MOUZ performed well. They reached the grand final, but lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 0-2.
At Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, MOUZ started their performance with a rather unexpected defeat. They lost to Apeks with a score of 16-19 in the first round of the group stage. Then there was a match with CoL for life at the event, which the “mice” won from a deficit of one map. However, it did not work out to stay in the championship race for long: MOUZ flew out at the TOP-6 stage.
After that, there was BLAST Premier: World Final 2023, where the “mice” took the TOP-4. This was the last tournament of the 2023 season. The 2024 season began with the TOP-7 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier B. Next was IEM Katowice 2024, where the “mice” took the TOP-4.
At PGL Major CS2 Copenhagen 2024, they made it from TOP-1-2 to European RMR B. At the tournament itself, the “mice” started their performance with a victory over Ecstatic, and then beat Eternal Fire, which gave them a passage to the 2-0 stage.
Next up was IEM China 2024, where MOUZ continued to “gain momentum.” This time, the team managed to reach the grand final, but FaZe turned out to be stronger.
MOUZ made it to the ESL Pro League Season 19 playoffs with great confidence. They also swept through the championship playoffs with confidence and ultimately won the tournament, beating Vitality 3-0 in the grand final.
MOUZ attended IEM Dallas 2024, where they finished in the TOP-12, which is very difficult to call a decent result for a team of MOUZ's level.
Esports World Cup 2024 MOUZ started with a match against Sashi Esports, where they won with a score of 2-1, which again is not very good. Having advanced to the playoffs, they beat FURIA Esports with a score of 2-1. Esports World Cup 2024 MOUZ itself finished at the TOP-4 stage, losing in the match for the grand final to NaVi.
IEM Cologne 2024 started right from the group stage, where they played against Falcons in the first match and won with a score of 2-1. And in the match for reaching the playoffs, they beat CoL even more confidently with a score of 2-0. In the first round of the playoffs, the “mice” very confidently beat G2 Esports with a score of 2-0, but then lost to NaVi dry, taking the TOP-4 as a result.
ESL Pro League Season 20 started with a shaky win over Rooster (2-1). MOUZ's problems at EPL S20 were revealed in the subsequent matches, when MOUZ lost to Imperial and CoL in successive 0-2 wins. Fnatic won the last chance bracket, and then lost to CoL 0-2, leaving ESL Pro League Season 20 without advancing to the playoffs.
At IEM Rio 2024, MOUZ played in Group A. They managed to advance to the playoffs from the lower bracket, after defeating CoL and FaZe Clan. In the playoffs themselves, they alternately defeated Vitality (2-1) and FURIA (2-0). They were unable to squeeze out the victory: in the grand final, they lost to NaVi with a score of 1-3. Later, MOUZ played at BLAST Premier: World Final 2024, where they took the TOP-6.
They got to the Elimination Stage of PW Shanghai Major 2024 thanks to their successful performance at European RMR A, where they took TOP-1-2. Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 started with a victory over paiN Gaming. Later they lost to MongolZ and FaZe, but defeated 3DMax. In the match for life at the tournament, they beat MIBR. MOUZ opened the playoffs of Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 with a match against MongolZ, where they won 2-0 on class, although not without problems. In the next match, MOUZ played against Spirit, where they lost with a score of 0-2.
The start of the 2025 season turned out to be quite difficult for the “mice”. The team played very mediocrely at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier, taking the TOP-32 there, and similarly did poorly at IEM Katowice 2025, not making it out of the group stage and finishing in 16th place.
The group stage of PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 was a mixed bag: MOUZ started with victories over BIG and 3DMax, but then lost to Falcons and FaZe. In the decisive match, they beat Vp, which gave them a passage to the main stage. The playoffs started with a match against paiN Gaming, where MOUZ won with a score of 2-0. Then – a victory over Astralis and finally a victory over Falcons in the grand final.
They started ESL Pro League Season 21 with a win over FURIA. Then they beat Falcons, but they didn't let Vitality get into the playoffs with a score of 3-0. They did it on the next try, beating Liquid. They started the playoffs with a win over G2 Esports (2-1). In the semi-finals, they beat Spirit in a tough match. However, they didn't have enough strength for the grand final: MOUZ lost to Vitality with a score of 0-3.
At the start of BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, MOUZ played against Falcons, where they won with a score of 2-0. Then they won a very difficult victory in the match against Spirit (2-1). But as expected, they did not have enough strength against Vitality: 0-2 and getting into the first round of the playoffs. The playoffs opened with a match against G2 Esports, where the “mice” ran over the “samurais” without a chance.
MOUZ Mappool
MOUZ's favorite map remains Inferno. Over the last 3 months, the "mice" have played it three times and won all their games there. Things are also fine on Nuke: MOUZ won 3 "nukes" out of 4 played.
Some good options include Vertigo and Ancient, where MOUZ has 2 wins in 3 games.
The most undesirable map is Mirage. MOUZ played it 6 times, but managed to win only once.
Form of Eternal Fire
We continue the analysis of the match Eternal Fire – MOUZ with an analysis of the game form of Eternal Fire. The Turkish club plays as an underdog with a coefficient of victory in the region of 2.1.
Eternal Fire began actively making their way to the title tournaments in the 2023 season. Then the team won ESL Pro League Season 17: European Conference, thereby securing a place in EPL S17. The main event ended badly – only TOP-20 and no way out of the group.
They also took part in BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR B. They took the TOP-14 there, which was not enough to qualify for the only major of the season.
In the middle of the year, Eternal Fire showed their best form. The Turks entered the TOP-4 twice, but did so at TIR-V tournaments. They made it into the top four at CCT North Europe Series #7 and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1.
- Eternal Fire lineup: XANTARES, jottAAA, MAJ3R, Wicadia, woxic.
Before the start of ESL Pro League Season 8, MAJ3R's team played in CCT Central Europe and Pinnacle Cup V. Both championships ended for them in the TOP-8.
Eternal Fire played their debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18 against Cloud9. They played as number two and played for a logical result: 0-2, but with 11 and 12 rounds respectively.
In the first match of the lower bracket, Eternal Fire played against 9INE. The Turks were clearly in shape, as they managed to easily overcome a rather strong competitor. The match ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Eternal Fire. As a result, the run to ESL Pro League Season 18 ended very well: the team barely qualified for the playoffs of the tournament, where they managed to win two series. EF left Astralis and BIG behind, but lost to Natus Vincere.
EF later placed Top 16 at Roobet Cup 2023, where they placed Top 16 and Top 2 at PARI, Please. In 2024, Eternal Fire attended PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier B, where they placed Top 2, advancing to European RMR A.
IEM Katowice 2024 started with the Play-In stage. By the way, they passed it very easily: 13-1 against BB Team and 2-0 against Rebels Gaming allowed them to get into the group stage. In the first match of the group stage, they also easily defeated Falcons (13-9; 13-6), and then showed a very vigorous CS in the match against the world's TOP-2 team FaZe Clan, but lost on three maps (1-2). As a result of IEM Katowice 2024, Eternal Fire took the TOP-12, after which they began to play at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A.
At the qualifying tournament, the Turks took the TOP-8, which gave them the opportunity to advance to PGL CS 2 Major Copenhagen 2024, which is true, to the first stage.
At PGL CS 2 Major Copenhagen 2024, Eternal Fire are doing very well so far. The Turks have 2 wins and 1 loss: they beat Mongolz and Pain, but lost 0-2 to Heroic in the match for reaching the next stage. However, they succeeded on their next attempt: they beat GL with a score of 2-1.
In the Legends stage, Eternal Fire debuted with a surprising win against Vitality. However, in the second round, they lost to MOUZ, which brought them to a 1-1 score. But then there was a real sensation: 13-1 against FaZe Clan and the score is 2-1 in the pocket of the Turks.
Eternal Fire got into the playoffs of the tournament after defeating Vp. The match ended with a score of 2-1. However, they were unable to move beyond the first round, because NaVi turned out to be stronger than the Turks and closed the series with a score of 2-0.
They also attended ESL Pro League Season 19, where they failed, and quite seriously. The Turkish team took TOP-21-28. Then the diametrically opposite situation at CCT Season 1: Global Finals and then – not getting out of the group at YaLLa Compas 2024.
Eternal Fire got to IEM Cologne 2024 thanks to the ESL world ranking, but they finished in the TOP-20 without really having time to show anything. Then there were equally disastrous tournaments like IEM Rio 2024, with a TOP-12 finish, and a failure at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B with a TOP-14 finish.
The 2025 season started with the qualifiers for BLAST Bounty Season 1. There, EF beat ENCE and Falcons dry. Right at the final stage of BLAST Bounty Season 1, Eternal Fire beat Vitality dry. Then – a victory over G2 Esports and an exit to the grand final, but a loss to Spirit with a score of 1-3.
Eternal Fire played at IEM Katowice 2025. The Turkish club managed to reach the playoff stage, but failed to defeat MongolZ in the first round.
They also played at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, where they finished in the TOP-8, which is not a good result, but also not a nightmare.
Eternal Fire started ESL Pro League Season 21 with a performance in the first round of the group stage: there the Turkish club played with a score of 3-1. Having got into the “real” group stage, Eternal Fire won against MIBR, but lost to 3DMax and Liquid. In the match for life, they beat paiN. They managed to advance to the playoffs after beating Falcons in the 2-2 basket. In the playoffs, they started against Spirit, where they lost with a score of 1-2.
BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 Eternal Fire started with a clean win over Liquid. Later, although with a score of 2-0, but in a very tense game they overtook G2. In the next game, Eternal Fire overtook NaVi, advancing directly to the semi-finals of BLAST Open Lisbon 2025.
Eternal Fire Mappool
The best map is Nuke. There are 4 matches and 4 wins.
Anubis is doing very well (7 matches, 85% win rate), Mirage (4 matches, 75% win rate). Vertigo – 71% win rate in 7 matches, Inferno and Overpass – 3 wins in 5 matches.
History of personal meetings Eternal Fire – MOUZ
The teams have played each other three times in the last year. The score is 2-1 in favor of MOUZ.
Predicted result of the MOUZ vs. Eternal Fire match at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025
I'm betting on MOUZ in this match. I think they should close EF, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a full bo3.
Result: MOUZ wins.
