With a clear victory, Team Vitality secured early qualification for the play-offs at the IEM Cologne 2023. MOUZ, on the other hand, must now tremble in the lower bracket.
Home game for MOUZ – one would think. But at the moment, few roads lead past the players of Team Vitality. The French eSports organisation has today outplayed the competition from Germany and will now face G2 Esports or FaZe Clan in the Upper Bracket Final of Group B.
For MOUZ, on the other hand, the big tremor is now on the cards. Although the mice are not completely excluded from the play-offs, the players are now doomed to win every game. Vitality, on the other hand, can sit back a bit as both the winner and loser in the Upper Bracket Final will advance to the knockout stage.

Pure dominance! Vitality clears MOUZ out of the way
Currently, Team Vitality is ranked second in the hltv.org world rankings. MOUZ, on the other hand, finds itself, after all, in 14th place. Accordingly, the roles were already clearly distributed before the start of the match. In fact, Vitality started like fire and almost rolled over the competition from Germany. With a score of 16:4, they easily bagged the first map, Inferno, although it was picked by MOUZ. It was to be no different for the “Germans” on Mirage.
The result was marginally better. MOUZ finally had five rounds to its credit, while Vitality once again closed the bag with 16 wins. Consequently, the spectators will also get to see Vitality in the Knockout Stage in the coming days.
