Complexity vs MOUZ Prediction: who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match between Complexity and MOUZ which will take place on August 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Complexity is fighting for consistency in the top ten teams according to HLTV's rankings. The American organisation has flourished since EliGE's move last year, with Jonathan consistently pulling out the toughest matches for his team. But Complexity needs an additional star to be even more dangerous on the world stage. In Cologne, the team started with a 2:1 win over Virtus.pro, but they have a tough opponent ahead of them.

Complexity has never beaten MOUZ in CS2, although the teams often cross paths at different tier-1 tournaments. But there is another tendency - each time it is more and more difficult for the MOUZ to build a game against EliGE and company. Since the whole structure of Complexity game is based on EliGE, the task is simple - to provide Jonathan with good conditions, and EliGE will score frags, create the majority and win rounds. After the summer break hallzerk started to play better - the sniper is playing more often with positive stats, although he recently admitted that his future in the team is still in doubt. Grim and floppy are included sporadically, as well as JT. In the Play-in to IEM Cologne 2024 Complexity showed a good attack, winning 70% of the rounds for the T-side. In the match against Virtus.pro, the team did a great job of outnumbered situations, with 40% realisation.

Complexity has never boasted stability on the tier-1 level, and MOUZ was very often the reason for different results for the team. The Mice stopped Complexity at a major in the group stage, prevented EliGE and company from reaching the grand finals of ESL Pro League Season 19, and left them in last place in Dallas. The American organisation has a lot of grudges against their current opponent, and will try to take a long-awaited revenge in Cologne.

MOUZ is a tier-1 team in Counter-Strike, a thought that the community got used to long ago. The once promising players have grown up and are now storming the top of the HLTV rankings. In May, MOUZ was already leading the leaderboard, but went down due to a failure at IEM Dallas 2024 and a long break without tournaments. Now the team is getting back into the flow of competitive matches and gaining form.

Judging by the first match against Team Falcons, so far the Mice are not in ideal conditions. They were close to failure at Ancient, but came back from 7:9 down in time to close the series in their favour. On Vertigo, the Falcons finally got MOUZ down, not allowing them to accelerate after a successful first half. Torzsi and xertioN stood out throughout the series - the sniper gave +21 in Kill/Deaths, and xertioN did an average of 97 damage per round, almost a guaranteed kill.

In 2024, MOUZ almost always makes the playoffs. The team has a very high winning percentage in the group stage, often finishing groups in first place regardless of the opponents in their path. Winstrike against Complexity has lasted for five consecutive series, and although the opponent can take away one card in the series, MOUZ always comes out victorious at the end of the meetings. Therefore, the "mice" will approach the semi-finals of the upper grid of Group B in a confident state, and only with an adjustment for individual form may play a slightly worse match than usual.

Complexity can't contain all the MOUZ players, and the Mice close EliGE and quietly get high. Considering that torzsi showed a very cool performance in Cologne in the first match, he can continue to dominate the series with Complexity. At least in a face-to-face duel over hallzerk on kills he looks the favourite. Usually MOUZ comes into face-to-face matches with Complexity as the favourite, but the Mice get slapped hard on the first map, and are switched on from the second. The last time the teams played 35 rounds on the first map. Complexity likes to play in overtime in Cologne, and may well take MOUZ into the abyss of extra rounds.
