On May 14, 2025, at 16:00 UTC, MOUZ will face off against Edge in the FISSURE Universe: Episode 5 Play-In Group A. This best-of-2 series promises to be an intriguing contest as both teams aim to advance in this prestigious tournament. We have analyzed the statistics and the current form of the teams to make a prediction for the match outcome. 

Current form of the teams

MOUZ

MOUZ, a team with a notable history, enters this match with a mixed bag of recent performances. Their recent matches show a draw against OG in the current tournament, FISSURE Universe: Episode 5, and a series of matches in the European Pro League Season 24, where they secured a second-place finish. Despite a win rate of 51% overall, MOUZ has shown a slight improvement over the last six months with a 54% win rate. However, their win rate for the last month has been nonexistent, indicating a potential dip in form. Financially, MOUZ has earned $15,500 in the past six months, placing them 43rd in the earnings ranking. 

Edge

Edge, on the other hand, has been struggling to find their footing. With an overall win rate of just 26%, Edge has faced a series of defeats, including losses to Virtus.pro and Runa Team in the current tournament. Their recent month’s win rate has dropped to 14%, reflecting their ongoing challenges. Despite this, Edge has managed to earn $22,000 in the last six months, ranking 36th in earnings. This financial boost might provide some morale, but their performance needs significant improvement to overcome their current form.

Match Prediction

Based on the current form and statistical analysis, Edge is predicted to win this match with a 2-0 scoreline.

The current dynamics indicate that Edge is likely to capitalize on MOUZ’s recent inconsistencies.
