MOUZ started their performance at the IEM Rio Major 2022 with the Challengers stage, which they rather unexpectedly finished with a score of 3-0. It's just that this team was able to adapt the fastest. But with each following match MOUZ's game looks less and less confident.
The Legends stage for MOUZ was extremely unstable. They could only beat volatile opponents that looked pretty weak in the current tournament, but against the currently strong Outsiders, MOUZ were powerless.
MOUZ has an interesting roster, but not many strong individual players, only frozen would stand out. Tactical geniuses are also absent here, so the team should be satisfied with victories only over not particularly strong opponents.

Cloud9 had huge problems in the Challengers stage. Because of the lag in the second match against Grayhound, the team went 0-2, but then was able to close the 3 BO3 series with a score of 2-0 and get to the Legends stage. In the first match Cloud9 got FaZe, but Russian (and Kazakh) team managed to get back from 4-13 to 16-14. In the second game Cloud9 had to face Natus Vincere, but here too, the final score and the winner were the same.
And the adaptation after offensive failures is the main reason for the future success of Cloud9. This is a very young team, despite the fact that the players play together for more than two years. Apart from HObbit, there are only young people here who are already mentally strong. And how many campaigns did Cloud9 make? Against Imperial with 6-15 or with 11-15, against FaZe, against GamerLegion... And here's sh1ro, who gives incredible performances in every first game, gaining awesome stats.
In addition, Cloud9 closed the Legends stage in three games, which gave them extra time to rest and prepare more for their closest opponents. We sincerely hope that Cloud9 can show a great level of play and be one step closer to the title, as the team fully deserves it. Or more accurately, there are hardly any worthy contenders for the title.
Expert Betting Tips
After Cloud9 easily defeated Heroic, it's clear that they have great prospects and almost no dangerous competitors. MOUZ can put up a fight, but at this point, they are hardly able to do so. Most likely, Cloud9 will be able to show a confident game, so we can bet on their Rounds Handicap (-5.5) for odds of 1.69 at 1xbet. It's also worth noting that Cloud9 has a much wider map pool, so you can take their win by 2-0 for odds of 2.10 at Bet365 & 1.95 at Betway.
