MOUZ vs Team Vitality: Who’ll win the CS2 IEM Cologne 2024 Group B Upper Bracket Final?

Prediction

MOUZ vs Team Vitality will surely be one of the nail-biting matches on the group stage’s final day. Players will witness both potential contenders of the tournaments fighting to get an upper seed in the playoffs stage.

MOUZ had a stellar start to their campaign with two exceptional wins against Team Falcons and Complexity Gaming. Following their heartbreaking loss at the CS2 Esports World Cup 2024, the German org got a second chance to retaliate by clinching the accolade. AWPer torzsi alongside the Rifler duo xertioN and Brollan looks unstoppable on certain maps like Nuke and Ancient.

Meanwhile, Jimpphat also supports them exceptionally well. The team seems perfectly synchronized under siuhy’s captaincy, especially on the CT side. However, based on their performance in Cologne 2024, MOUZ struggles with their T-sided execution. If they don’t seem to work on their executions, they might have to pay a massive price against the French Side.

On the other hand, the French giants also got an outstanding start to their Cologne campaign. With their first match against FURIA, they finished both maps of BO3 (Best of 3) in almost no time. Despite struggling for a little bit on their first map against FaZe Clan, they managed to overcome the dominance by winning the series with a 2-1 scoreline. While ZywOo seemed down against FaZe, the rifler duo of mezii and Spinx stepped up a bit against their encounter with another powerhouse team.

Judging from both European giants’ recent performances, the scales are slightly tipped towards MOUZ. However, the way Team Vitality has performed in this tournament so far, they’ll surely give the German side a run for their money.
