MOUZ vs Team Spirit: Who'll win the CS2 Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 Semifinal?

Prediction

MOUZ had a rough start right from the elimination stage of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. The roster lost back-to-back matches against The MongolZ and FaZe Clan. siuhy and his team seemed to be facing some difficulty in adapting to their opponent's game plan.

However, MOUZ was able to overcome these obstacles, with Jimpphat and Brollan's extraordinary performances captivating the audience. Meanwhile, siuhy has executed some new strategies that have worked well for the roster so far. Now that MOUZ has defeated The MongolZ (and squashed its 13-match winning streak), the team should be in good sync.

Team Spirit also had a poor start at the tournament, losing its first elimination stage match against FURIA. While many in the CS2 community doubted Spirit's potential, the lineup's key player, donk, popped off and dominated every opponent he faced, securing the team's entry into the playoffs stage. Team Spirit has faced a few big names, including HEROIC, Liquid, and the defending champions, NAVI.

While all eyes will likely be on donk as the main key player in the Serbian organization, one can't deny the efforts of zont1x and sh1ro. Both young prospects contributed their fair share and helped the roster reach this stage. However, magixx, and the team's IGL, chopper, have yet to show their true potential in this tournament.

MOUZ is likely to choose Nuke as its map pick to catch Team Spirit off-guard. Meanwhile, Team Spirit looks unstoppable in Ancient and Anubis, and we speculate that either of these two might be the decider map in this BO3 (best-of-three) matchup.

Judging from their performance so far in the tournament, the scales are slightly tipped in Team Spirit's favor. However, if MOUZ somehow managed to stop donk, it'll be difficult for the Serbian side to make an impact in the MOUZ vs Team Spirit matchup.
