MOUZ vs HEET Prediction: Will MOUZ Lead the Group?

ESL Pro League Season 16 is a historically significant event for the world community, and we can't overestimate its importance. The champion title is more important than a prize pool (by the standards of CS:GO) of 823,000$. The tournament is unique in its system, namely in its duration. During the month, the participating teams will defend the banners of their organization. The tournament involves 24 teams, divided into four groups of 6 teams. The first-place team in their group will receive a slot in the quarterfinals. Second and third-place teams will go to the first round of the playoffs, and the rest will go home.

Group stage matches will be played in a round-robin system (everyone plays everyone for points in the group), and group stage matches will be played in a BHO3 format. Playoffs will be a single elimination system (to one defeat) in a BO3 format, grand final BO5.

Here we come to the end of Group C, and the last matches await us. Team MOUZ has already given itself the playoffs, and the team HEET has given itself the chance to fly out of the tournament, and the results of this match will not affect the position of these teams or the position of other teams in the group. The only thing to fight for is the first place in the group for team MOUZ.

MOUZ team last year changed the lineup very often, almost after each tournament. The coach, the shooter, and the supporting players have changed. NBK-, who came back from Valorant to play for MOUZ after a month, was replaced by a player from the academy (MOUZ NXT). Now it was the turn of Bymas who was replaced the academy player as well. The MOUZ academy roster is very good and has been ranked above the main roster for a while, so integrating players into the core seems logical. Well, we can safely talk about a fully operational and well-organized academy, but not the stability of the main roster.

Against the Danes from Heroic, who are much more experienced, it was necessary to show a perfect game, which they did. Their second opponent was another Danish team, Astralis, with whom MOUZ could not cope. And after a solid victory over ENCE, we can say that MOUZ is good and ready for the tournament. The triumph over Complexity in the next game earned them a playoff berth. MOUZ is the only team that really showed themselves in a good way, and played every match at full strength. They should strengthen their position today by beating one of the underdogs in the group.

The last change in the lineup was the arrival of Dorian xertioN Berman.

The best rating according to hltv is 5th in the world. Now it's #10.

The best map is Mirage, with a win rate of 91% in 11 maps played.

The French HEET (former DBL PONEY) are ambitious and want to win. They are close to the level of the game, but so far, they are not ready for dash1. Like all the other teams, HEET has been preparing for the tournament and wants to earn their way through so that it will be a tough fight. For the new season, the French team welcomed JACKZ, who is unlikely to be an upgrade, but will be strong support for the team in terms of experience. The HEET squad has never advanced into a deep stage of tournaments before; if they do, the new teammate will be a great addition to the squad. The team has already played a qualifying tournament in the new playing season, where they successfully achieved their goal of a spot on the RMR.

The French gained good experience and material for further work in this tournament. As expected, they did not make the playoffs, but they often stressed the favorites and even managed to make one sensation. Nevertheless, they need to play even better to play at such a high level. They also approach the match against MOUZ in underdog status. Will they be able to put up a good fight in their last EPL S16 match?

The last change in the lineup was the arrival of Audric JACKZ Jug.

The best ranking according to hltv is 18th in the world, currently ranked 32nd in the world.
