FURIA Esports vs MOUZ Prediction: MOUZ has a lot of recent playoff experience

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

The Brazilians will perform in front of their fans on the stage of IEM Rio 2024. In the semifinals of the tournament the team was sensational, no one expected FalleN and company here, especially after the match with Natus Vincere (2:0). The last home event for FURIA Esports ended in failure, and here is already guaranteed top-4. The Brazilians don't want to be limited to one match in front of the fans in Rio.

FURIA Esports hasn't shown any serious results on the tier 1 scene lately. The last trophy in the team's piggy bank was a win at the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023. The last good result was a top-8 finish at Esports World Cup 2024. Now FURIA Esports is ranked 14th in the HLTV ranking and can improve its position significantly. KSCERATO is doing well in Rio - the team's main star leads the IEM Rio 2024 individual rankings with a 1.56. Riefler is shooting 99 damage per round and making 0.92 kills per round. The top ten is also held by yuurih (1.22 HLTV rating), and we can also mention skullz - after moving from Team Liquid he strengthened the team and also found himself on the server.

All Brazilian teams rely more on individual skill, so they can't get a foothold in the HLTV top. FURIA Esports made a sensation, although it is unlikely to be able to confirm the success in the future. The tournament in Rio is more important for the team than the upcoming major in Shanghai, and the Brazilians will try to reach the grand final on a moral high.

In previous predictions we mentioned that MOUZ is out of form, but the team proved otherwise in the quarterfinals. They beat Team Vitality (1:2) to advance to the semifinals. Despite the fact that the last meeting with FURIA Esports the team lost, they will enter the stage as favorites. Why?

First of all, MOUZ has established itself as one of the top five teams according to HLTV's rankings over the long haul. Despite a temporary slump in ESL Pro League Season 20, the Mice are often in the semifinals of major tournaments, and have played in four grand finals in the last six months. Secondly, the team has assembled some very talented and young players. According to rumors, Jimmphat is interested in Team Vitality, and siuhy wants to be taken to FaZe. But the main advantage of MOUZ is that with all the accumulation of talent the basis of success is a good team structure. Here each of the five is equally dangerous and can pull at any moment on the server.

MOUZ has a rich history of encounters with FURIA Esports over the past year. However, they have not always done well against opponents from Brazil. Considering that siuhy's squad has had trouble handling any opponent recently, MOUZ will have a tough enough encounter. The teams have already met in Rio, and FURIA Esports was the stronger team. However, MOUZ has a lot of recent playoff experience, including a successful one.

Brazilian fans can be the X-factor in this encounter, not every team manages to sustain such tension. MOUZ and FURIA Esports love to trade cards in VO3 and find out their relationship on the desiderider. These two factors lead us to believe that we will see a third card here as well.
