MOUZ demolish FURIA as G2 slip to 0-2 at ESL Pro League S24

MOUZ smashed FURIA to keep the Brazilian's poor form against the top teams going.

Cache was completely one-sided as FURIA ran into the meat grinder over and over; summed up by YEKINDAR and FalleN going a combined 1-12 in opening duels. PR was top of the charts for MOUZ, but quite frankly you could have picked anybody as MVP in this map from MOUZ. They were obscenely dominant.

Mirage saw a bit more life out of FURIA, but at no point in the series were they ahead on either map. They lost the first round and were never winning from then on out. KSCERATO and molodoy tried their best to keep things alive for FURIA, but it was to no avail as Spinx, xertioN and torzsi just couldn't be stopped.

We're getting accustomed to weak showings from FURIA in these games, but this was a surrender. The end of the year, and FalleN's retirement, unfortunately look like they can't come soon enough for this team.

G2 will be in the 0-2 bracket after losing a messy game against 1win despite winning map two 13-1.

Nothing really sums G2 up more than this game. They obliterated 1win on Ancient from start to finish and never looked like dropping a round, but were just sloppy and mistake-ridden throughout the other two maps.

This game was summed up by one of the strangest rounds of CS ever played, as huNter snuck into a corner that had previously been cleared, and two players seemed to look at him and not bother shooting him, allowing him to get a double from behind the doors on Dust 2. And yet, G2 still were unable to win that map, because that was just one of their four CT rounds.

1win didn't even look particularly good in this series, and we're not sure either of these teams will be making it through.

NAVI look resurgent but not enough to stop Vitality, who are back with their full line-up and back to winning ways. This was a three map series of three stomps, with Anubis being the ZywOo show, b1t taking over Nuke and then a consummate team performance from Vitality for a simple 2-1, as 2-1s go.

Spirit needed all three to beat PARIVISION - but donk going 31-7 on the final map made sure there was never any doubt about who the winner was going to be. 31 kills man. It was a 13-5 win. He was closer to two kills per round than one. Just ridiculous. PARIVISION did what they did best on Ancient, grinding out a close win, but Spirit's firepower proved too much for them on Dust 2 and Anubis.

Jimpphat continued to impress, but XANTARES' struggles continued as Falcons ran over a lethargic Aurora. Falcons looked back to somewhere near their best, but Aurora were way off it, and we're starting to get some concerns over their star man. They've always lived or died based on XANTARES, and they need more than 6 and 11 kills on these maps.

9z absolutely slaughtered TYLOO - TYLOO went up 10-6 on Nuke, and then won just 2 of the next 20 rounds to lose the series in fast-forward. Moseyuh went from 25 kills on map one to two on map two. The duality of TYLOO.

ShindeN once more looked decent enough, but they failed to take a map this time as Legacy squeezed out a 2-0 with a big comeback on Mirage. That map will haunt ShindeN for a long, long time - they were up 8-4 and 10-7, but lost 11-13 as Legacy just turned it on enough in the big rounds.

BetBoom just shaded M80 in a very tight game, with M80 probably being the better team but collapsing too often in the late rounds. They gave up far too many man advantaged situations, and lost this series by a hair.
