MOUZ Survive at the Last Moment, Topple FUT in Hong Kong

MOUZ averted elimination at the last moment in Hong Kong at BLAST Rivals. The team won the series with a late comeback against FUT, who were missing Aulon 'Krabeni' Fazlija.

Dorian 'xertioN' Berman's side made a convincing start on Cache. However, the opening round went badly, and Álvaro 'SunPayus' García's solo AWP pick brought FUT back into the game. The first map went to overtime. MOUZ won three match points on that map but lost the second map, which was decided by coach András 'coolio' Fercsák's 1v2 performance.

On Mirage, Fercsák played well and FUT built a big lead. Fercsák won another 1v2 and took his team to match point. MOUZ, however, took a risky approach on bomb defusal and came back from 6-12 down to take the map. Ádám 'torzsi' Torzsás's strong AWP play stood out in that comeback.

In overtime, Oldřich 'PR' Nový's 1v2 evened the series and the deciding map would be Nuke. FUT lost morale after the defeat on the second map. The defensive strength that had beaten Spirit 13-0 the day before was nowhere to be seen on this map. MOUZ built an 11-1 lead on the attack side and closed out the match on the CT side, giving the opponent little resistance. xertioN's knife round finish ended the match.
