In the quarterfinals of the BLAST Open Spring 2025, MOUZ and G2 will face off — two teams that have been showing consistent results over the past few months. The winner of this match will advance to the semifinals, continuing their journey towards the championship title.
Current Team Form
MOUZ
The average rating for MOUZ at S-tier events over the last month is 6.1. The team has shown consistent results: they reached the grand final at ESL Pro League Season 21, only losing in the decisive match. At BLAST Open Spring 2025, MOUZ started with confident victories but lost in the upper bracket final, sending them to the quarterfinals. In their last five matches, the team won three times, defeating Spirit (twice) and Falcons, but suffered two losses to Vitality.

| March 19 | MOUZ | 2 - 0 | Falcons |
| March 16 | MOUZ | 0 - 3 | Vitality |

G2
G2's average rating for the same period is 6.2. G2 competed in ESL Pro League Season 21, making it to the playoffs with a 3:2 record but ended their run in the quarterfinals. At BLAST Open Spring 2025, G2 went through the lower bracket, starting with a win but losing in the second match. This allowed them to reach the quarterfinals. In the last five matches, G2 also won three, defeating The Mongolz, M80, and Imperial, but fell to Eternal Fire and MOUZ.
| Date | Team | Score | Opponent |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 24 | G2 | 2 - 0 | The Mongolz |

Team Map Pool
During the ban phase, MOUZ will likely remove Anubis, as they consistently exclude this map (38 times). G2, on the other hand, will probably ban Train (12 times).
In the map selection phase, MOUZ might choose Nuke — their most successful map with a win rate of 74%, especially against teams that are not strong on it. An alternative could be Inferno, where they show stable results. G2 will likely pick Dust II, where they have the highest win rate (75%). If Dust II is unavailable, they might opt for Mirage, where they have a win rate of 67%.
For the decider, Ancient is likely to remain, which is part of both teams' pool, though their success on it varies: 67% for MOUZ against 44% for G2.

Head-to-Head Matchups
In the past six months, MOUZ and G2 have met only once, 13 days ago. That match ended with a victory for MOUZ with a score of 2:1. This indicates that the teams are fairly evenly matched, but MOUZ managed to find a path to success in the crucial moments.
| Date | Team | Score | Opponent |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 13 | G2 | 1 - 2 | MOUZ |
Match Prediction
Based on the current form of the teams and their map pool metrics, MOUZ has a slight advantage. Their confidence on key maps like Nuke and Ancient, as well as their recent win over G2, play in their favor. G2, however, could surprise on Dust II, where they are traditionally strong, and have a slightly higher overall rating.
Prediction: MOUZ will win with a score of 2:1
