Meeting statistics

The current form of MOUZ

The “mice”, favorites in the upcoming match by bookmakers that use cryptocurrency, placed in the top seven in PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B to begin the 2024 season. They placed in the top 4 in IEM Katowice 2024, which came next. MOUZ made it to the grand final of IEM China 2024, but FaZe were superior to them in this match. In the ESL Pro League Season 19 playoffs, the German team was extremely confident and won the competition by defeating Vitality 3-0 in the championship match. For an organization of MOUZ’s caliber, finishing in the top 12 in IEM Dallas 2024, which was next up, is an extremely unsatisfying outcome.

MOUZ advanced to the Esports World Cup 2024 playoffs and placed in the top four at the end. They started their trip to IEM Cologne 2024 right out of the group stage and got off to a strong start in the playoffs, but lost to NaVi and finished in the top 4. Due to troublesome play, the Hamburg-based squad was eliminated from the ESL Pro League Season 20 before reaching the playoffs. MOUZ advanced to the playoffs from the bottom of their group at IEM Rio 2024. They came very close to taking the championship, as they lost to NaVi in the grand final. Later, MOUZ participated in the BLAST Premier: World Final 2024, where they placed among the top six teams.

The current form of Nemiga Gaming

We break down Nemiga’s form to continue our match analysis. They play as underdogs in this game, and their chances of winning are 3.35 on GIZBO; MOUZ are 1.28.

Nemiga are hardly more than a mid-table team at best. They’ve been mostly participating in various qualification tournaments. Prior to that, they participated in B- and C-tier competitions, only sometimes making an appearance at big events. The 2024 season saw a little breakthrough. They placed in the top 32 at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 open qualifications, failing twice to grab a spot there. Later, Nemiga Gaming made it to the IEM China 2024 qualifiers in the third attempt, finishing in the top 64 at the first open qualifiers and in the top two in the second qualifiers, which led to a victory at the main qualifiers.

Success at the IEM Chengdu 2024 qualifications didn’t translate into a lasting form. They placed in the top three in ESEA Season 48: Advanced Division-Europe, but they were in the top 64 at the IEM Dallas 2024 qualifications. Nemiga Gaming achieved what was “expected” of them in IEM Chengdu 2024: top 12. Later, they were in the top 8 at the Thunderpick World Championship 2024: European Series #1.

Nemiga became the RES European Series #2 champions. The RES Regional Champions tournament, in which they won first place and received $150,000, was likely the Belarusian organization’s most successful result of the season.

Head-to-head

The two teams never faced one another before.
