MOUZ vs. Team Spirit Prediction on June 19, 2025

Match info

The 23rd edition of the most prestigious tournament format in Counter-Strike eSports, the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, has entered the Playoffs, wherein the eight best teams from the first three stages vie for the title at Moody Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) in Austin, Texas, USA. The two of these teams are MOUZ of Germany and Team Spirit of Serbia (relocated from Russia). Their Quarterfinal match is set to begin on Thursday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. local time.

Due to their reputation as an “A+ tier” side—impressive in groups but doubtful in full playoff Bo3s—MOUZ is a heavy underdog in this match, as the best CS2 match betting sites give approximately 85% on Spirit’s win.

Meeting statistics

MOUZ had mixed recent results—three wins, two Stage 3 losses—but secured the Playoffs. They found their way through Swiss rounds, but they usually visibly crack under knockout pressure. On the other hand, Spirit had five wins in the last five matches, including powering through Stage 3 at 3–0. They dominated all Stage 3 matches to clinch a Playoff berth.

Spirit are definitely in a momentum: they swept Stage 3 convincingly, including a dominant 13-3 win over NAVI. They have depth, as stars like Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov, and Boris “magixx” Vorobyev have been impactful across maps. As reigning Major champions (Shanghai 2024), they have the edge in high-pressure matches.

MOUZ have an explosive playstyle: big fragging potential as Lotan “Spinx” Giladi and Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás can break open. MOUZ fans worry about Dorian “xertioN”Berman’s lone site holding under pressure. They survived tricky group phase matches to qualify.

MOUZ and Spirit met 11 times, with the latter holding a 6-5 lead. Their most recent encounter was on March 21, 2025, where MOUZ edged out a 2-1 win.

Match analytics

Expect picks like Mirage, Dust2, Ancient/Nuke—Spirit’s versatility gives them an edge across the board. The key factor is their playoff poise and ability to deliver clean gameplay versus MOUZ’s raw firepower and map control. We predict that Spirit will win, although MOUZ could steal a map if they burst early and force tempo. Anyway, Spirit’s stability should shine through.

Tip: Correct match score: 1:2, with odds of 3.24 on QuickWin.
