The ESL Pro League Season 21 semifinals are an exciting showdown between MOUZ and Team Spirit. Both teams came to this match in great shape and have already demonstrated their strength in 2025. The last time they met three months ago, Spirit proved to be stronger (2:1). The match will take place in Bo3 format, which opens the way to an interesting tactical confrontation and, possibly, a long fight on three maps.

Match prediction
Given the statistics, current form, and the results of the teams' last head-to-head meeting, the match promises to be tense. Spirit looked more convincing on the latest maps, but MOUZ demonstrate confidence and championship character after winning PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025.
The game is expected to be played on all three maps, but Spirit will have a slight advantage in this match due to their more stable mappool.
Prediction: Spirit 2-1 MOUZ
