MOUZ fail PARIVISION challenge as Vitality overpower The MongolZ

MOUZ's stage woes reared their ugly head again as they were dispatched in two by PARIVISION.

The old 'inexperience' angle starts to lose its effectiveness when you lose cleanly to a team with three players who six months ago hadn't seen a stage without Twitch chat next to it, and questions need to be asked about their resilience.

Jame teams have always provided a very different challenge, mentally and literally, than other teams, and MOUZ were unable to stay resilient when the game got attritional. Their decision to stick with the same five players seemed reasonable at the time, but in retrospect it's clear they needed a little push to truly challenge for trophies.

It was the infamous AWP-IGL Jame who took over Dust 2 and gave a clinic on both facets with a performance that was all impact. He was quite clearly the biggest contributor on the T side particularly, where he was directly responsible for nearly every round PV got, and they got seven.

MOUZ got 15 opening kills to PARIVISION's nine, and still lost 11-13, which tells you a lot about how Jame midrounded and PARIVISION's trading and spacing. Of those nine opening kills, Jame picked up six of them, and six multikills as well.

Oh, and his brain is just bigger than MOUZ' brains.

He was much quieter on Inferno, but this was a completely different story - every member of his team had multiple opening kills, and Jame took a backseat. zweih took his spot as chief opener, multikiller and T side impact-haver, but this was a much more complete performance that showed Jame's leadership more than his AWPing.

The type of leading MOUZ are so obviously in need of.

Vitality absolutely tonked The MongolZ on map two after a tight first map to secure ANOTHER grand final.

ZywOo was, as always (we're getting bored of talking about it), the man who made the difference on map one by winning just enough rounds with big moments to edge out a very impressive MongolZ showing.

He's just the best player in the world at this moment in time, and it's near-impossible to argue against it.

In fairness, he definitely has some world class teammates - ropz was unbelievable on Dust 2. It felt like he was clawing back rounds from losing positions or multikilling to turn a close round into a won one constantly, which is largely how they managed to win 13-3 on Dust 2 with just six opening kills.

It wasn't quite as one-sided as the scoreline suggested, but elite players like ropz make close games into blowouts sometimes.

Vitality rise to face PARIVISION in the final tomorrow.
