MOUZ vs FURIA Esports Prediction: They Can't Rely on FalleN

Prediction for Elisa Masters Espoo match which will take place on December 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Mice are slowly occupying the top 3 of the HLTV Rankings. MOUZ recently moved to third place after Team Vitality won the BLAST Premier: Fall Finals, but their competitors won't move the team this year. MOUZ's CS2 achievements include a top-2 finish at the CS Asia Championship and a top-4 finish at IEM Sydney. At all CS2 tournaments, MOUZ failed in matches with FaZe, but now it's not at the event in Finland.

At Elisa Masters Espoo, the team came hoping for an easy ride and tough matches in the playoffs. Instead, they lost to Apeks in the extra rounds (16-19) and then worked a miracle on the second map and made a comeback against Complexity (2-1). Complexity led 9-3 on Inferno after the first half, but the Mice were great on offense. MOUZ played terrible rounds on defense (36% realization) but compensated with a fairly confident offense (60%). 

However, it's too early to write off the team from the tournament. Judging by the latest results, they didn't prepare for the matches against Apeks and Complexity. MOUZ should have realized that the group was much more problematic, and to win the tournament, they needed to start from the match against FURIA Esports.

The Brazilians of 2023 do not fight for the tier-1 trophies, and in tier-2, they are included in the fight. But the team can't overcome top-4. FURIA reached the top 4 at Roobet Cup 2023 and PARI, Please.

FalleN was a disastrous mistake. Gabriel Toledo could bring thousands of dollars in media exposure, but gameplay-wise, he is the most unstable player on the roster. He is responsible for both AWP and in-game leadership. There are no good calls, and the sniper rifle does not work at key moments. So KSCERATO and yuurih have a hard time proving themselves. They perform great in the second year and deserve to win trophies, but their teammates are against them. FURIA always has problems with one side. It was the offense recently, and now it's 20% defense and 58% offense. The team also struggles with pistol shooting (2-4, 33%). On the positive side, they have good grenade damage (30 per round).

The Brazilians have very little chance against MOUZ. FURIA Esports has never defeated an opponent in the top 10 of the HLTV team rankings in the last six months. And if the Mice could have a rest on the first day of play, FURIA did their best and ended up in the decider for the exit from the group.

MOUZ is the favorite in this meeting. They can improve at any time. The players are individually in better shape, and recent results are much better. There is a significant advantage in head-to-head matches against FURIA Esports. It all comes down to another playoff exit of the Mice and another upset of FalleN.
