Today, in the semi-finals of IEM Katowice 2024, the esports community will witness one of the most anticipated confrontations – MOUZ versus FaZe Clan. The history of these teams' encounters in CS2 does not favor MOUZ: five matches and five defeats. The question arises, can MOUZ change this trend today at 17:15 Kyiv time.

The statistics of the teams' meetings speak for themselves – MOUZ have not been able to beat FaZe even once in five matches.

•  Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023 — 2 – 0
• Thunderpick World Championship 2023 — 2 – 1 
• CS2 Asia Championships 2023 — 2 – 1
• CS2 Asia Championships 2023 — 2 – 0
• BLAST Premier: World Final 2023  — 2 – 0

Chances of Winning

In previous encounters, FaZe dominated thanks to their aggressive tactics and the skill of individual players. However, MOUZ has shown significant growth lately, making the upcoming match unpredictable.

Taking into account the history of meetings and the current form of the teams, FaZe Clan remain the favorites of the upcoming semifinal. However, MOUZ are certainly hungry for a win and motivated to break their losing streak. Strategic map selection and the ability to adapt to FaZe's game will be key for MOUZ in their quest for their first win over their longtime rivals.

Conclusion

Today's IEM Katowice 2024 semi-final between MOUZ and FaZe will be a true test for both teams. It is not only a battle for a place in the final, but also an opportunity for MOUZ to change the course of its history with FaZe. Fans are in for an exciting spectacle.
