The match between MOUZ and GamerLegion will be a decisive one in the top grid of the group stage of IEM Melbourne 2025. The winner will secure a place in the playoffs, and the loser will get the last chance in the lower bracket. The game will be played in the bo3 format, which allows both teams to demonstrate the depth of their mapping. The teams met two months ago, when GamerLegion won with a score of 2:0. Will MOUZ be able to take revenge?
MOUZ are showing solid form, having defeated BIG (2:1) at the start of IEM Melbourne after the final at BLAST Open Spring 2025. They confidently beat Eternal Fire and G2, but lost twice to Vitality. In general, the team looks stable, adapts well to series and has a deep mappool, although it has some difficulties on Inferno and Mirage.
Date | Team | Score | Opponent |
Apr 21 | MOUZ | 2 - 1 | BIG |
Mar 30 | MOUZ | 2 - 3 | Vitality |
Mar 29 | MOUZ | 2 - 0 | Eternal Fire |
Mar 28 | MOUZ | 2 - 0 | G2 |
Mar 24 | MOUZ | 0 - 2 | Vitality |
GamerLegion also started with a 2:0 victory over 3DMAX, but their performance at the BLAST.tv Austin Major was unstable: defeats against fnatic, SAW and Nemiga revealed weaknesses in adaptation and individual play. However, it's worth mentioning that two months ago, GL already defeated MOUZ 2:0, and this fact may play a role in the psychological aspect.
Date | Team | Score | Opponent |
Apr 21 | GamerLegion | 2 - 0 | 3DMAX |
Apr 16 | GamerLegion | 1 - 2 | SAW |
Apr 15 | GamerLegion | 2 - 0 | 500 |
Apr 14 | GamerLegion | 0 - 1 | fnatic |
Apr 14 | GamerLegion | 0 - 1 | Nemiga |
MOUZ have stable statistics on most maps. Train (75%) and Nuke (73%) are their strengths. Ancient also seems to be a comfortable map, where they have a 73% winrate. At the same time, Mirage (41%) and Inferno (44%) remain problematic.
GamerLegion is stronger on Ancient (71%) and Inferno (64%), but has a weak Dust2 (0%) and does not play Train. This can give MOUZ an advantage when choosing a map, although both teams have several overlaps in a comfortable pool.

MOUZ look stronger in the context of their overall form, performances in LAN tournaments and mapping. GamerLegion has already beaten MOUZ once, but the situation is different now. If MOUZ avoids playing on Inferno and the first map is not Mirage, their chances increase significantly. We expect a series of three maps, with MOUZ winning 2:1.
IEM Melbourne 2025 takes place from April 21 to 27. The entire tournament is held in Melbourne, Australia, at the Rod Laver Arena. Participants are competing for a prize pool of $300,000. You can follow the results and progress of the tournament at this link.
