MOUZ vs Team Vitality Prediction: ZywOo will give the team the win

The first major of 2022 has come to an end. FaZe Clan has confirmed its status as the best team in the world, while Team Spirit has once again proved that it is possible to achieve results with young players. The IEM Dallas 2022 awaits us, with almost all the strongest teams in the world coming to the event. Had it not been for visa problems, the list of participants would have been even stronger. Nevertheless, 16 teams, 14 of which are in the top 20 in the world ranking, will start on May 30 for the champion title and the prize fund of $250,000. The CIS region will be represented by Cloud9, which failed in the majors and is eager to prove to the new organization that it did not believe in the Russian lineup in vain.

On May 31, MOUZ and Team Vitality will play their next match at IEM Dallas 2022. We'll find out which team will be stronger soon enough.

MOUZ: It's going to be difficult

MOUZ failed to qualify for ESL Challenger Valencia 2022. The team lost 0-2 to Sprout in the deciding match. At IEM Dallas 2022, MOUZ lost to ENCE by a score of 9-16 in the first match. The boys had no chance of winning. The opening rounds didn't work out at all. True, after that the team was able to outplay Movistar Riders, but you shouldn't compare ENCE and Movistar Riders. As for the upcoming match, MOUZ will not be able to play their best map. The French are bound to get hammered by Ancient, where the "mice" have a 100% win rate. Nevertheless, MOUZ can spade Nuke, which is played quite often, and Team Vitality has only a 17% win rate on this map. Despite this, we cannot call MOUZ the favorite on the map. After all, the last face-to-face match on Nuke was very hard-fought. There is also Vertigo, but this pick is much less believable. And the French feel pretty good there.

Team Vitality: A good chance

Team Vitality had an unsuccessful PGL Major Antwerp 2022. The team got only 9-11th place and didn't show a good game. Will this squad be able to show anything? They have enough skill to beat teams that are not in the top ten, but further on it is very difficult. Constant defeats against top teams. Even ZywOo is not saved. At IEM Dallas 2022 the Frenchmen outplayed Astralis but lost to FaZe Clan without much of a chance. As for the upcoming match, Team Vitality will not make anything up and will pick Dust2. This is the best option for the team right now. The guys have a 67% win rate against MOUZ's 33%. In the last head-to-head match, Team Vitality won confidently on this map and should repeat this result. I don't think MOUZ has any chance of success. If it comes down to the third deciding map, Mirage looks the most comfortable. But Team Vitality can also win 2-0. This will not come as a surprise.

Expert Betting Tips

Team Vitality looks like the favorite to win the match. MOUZ has so far only beaten the Tier 2 teams and is not credible in serious tournaments. The odds on Team Vitality to win with a handicap (-4.5) are 1.54.
