Meeting statistics

The current form of MOUZ

According to the odds provided by Counterstrike betting sites, MOUZ is the clear favorite in this match.

Making it to the IEM Dallas 2023 finals, where they were defeated by ENCE, was one of MOUZ’s biggest accomplishments from the previous season. Before the IEM Cologne Group Stage, MOUZ made waves at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. Yet, they were unable to surpass the top 4. They placed in the top 8 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A earlier in the season, but things didn’t go according to plan when they went to the event: Top-24. The “mice” made their debut with the refreshed roster at IEM Cologne 2023, reinforced by the addition of two new players: “siuhy” and “Jimpphat”. They finished among the top 12.

MOUZ competed at IEM Sydney 2023 prior to the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and ended in the Top 4. They prematurely terminated the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 participation during the first round of the playoffs. MOUZ did well at the CS Asia Championship 2023, which was held later. They advanced to the championship game, where they were defeated by FaZe Clan. MOUZ failed miserably at the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023: Top 6. The “mice” placed TOP-4 in BLAST Premier: World Final 2023 following that. The 2023 season for the Germans concluded with this competition.

They placed in the top seven at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier B to begin the 2024 season. IEM Katowice 2024 was the next event, and MOUZ placed in the top 4. The Germans have a record of 3-0 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, which sent them to the main stage.

The current form of G2 Esports

G2 Esports was often seen on the podiums of major competitions throughout the entire last year. BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 and IEM Katowice 2023 marked the beginning of their ascent to become a world-class squad. With confidence, the “samurai” were rightfully crowned winners of these two competitions. The subsequent G2 displays were then unsteady. Finishing ESL Pro League Season 17 with a 9–12 record makes it evident that G2 Esports isn’t on the same level as the squad that just won IEM Katowice. G2 Esports participated in BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 following an incredibly underwhelming showing during EPL Season 17. In the French capital, “NiKo” & Co. experienced a major disaster: TOP-14.

G2 Esports left their imprint on a number of other significant competitions prior to ESL Pro League Season 18. The BLAST Premier: Spring Finals and Fall Groups were these: G2 placed eighth and fourth, respectively. IEM Cologne 2023 came next, and the result was ultimately triumphant. They defeated ENCE in the Grand Final to win another IEM championship for the year. Gamers8 was the last championship in 2023 in which G2 competed. They placed in the top 4 of the season’s largest commercial competition. G2 Esports advanced straight to the quarterfinals of the ESL Pro League Season 18 play-offs and eventually won the championship. Germans attended BLAST Premier: World Finals 2023 along with two other events. These included BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023 and IEM Sydney 2023. The team placed in the top four in both competitions. Additionally, there was CCT Online Finals #5, when G2 had an unimpressive performance. The eponymous European club was only able to place in the top 4, missing out on a spot in the Global Finals.

Not at the level of G2 Esports, but at three elite competitions before the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Europe RMR A: BLAST Premier: World Final 2023, BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, and IEM Katowice 2024. They placed in the top six at all of these. Their performance in PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR A was as expected; they placed in the top two and earned a spot in the Major. G2 Esports has a 3-2 record at the Major itself so far.

Head-to-head

The teams last faced off in the BLAST Premier World Final in 2023, and G2 Esports prevailed.

Match analytics

We think MOUZ will prevail in this game. They weren’t as good as G2 Esports, but they were still among the top teams in the Elimination Stage. The “samurai” will likely drop out after astonishingly placing in the top 8.

In summary: “Correct score in maps 2:0” for MOUZ with odds of 3.0 on Casino-X.
