Recent form

MOUZ: W W L W L — 3 wins from their last 5 series including 2-1 vs G2 and 2-1 vs Gentle Mates.

MOUZ arrive with an 87.5% win rate on Nuke over the last three months, the most map-specific dominant surface advantage of any team in the 2-0 pool. Their Swiss Round 2 victory over G2 was built on xertioN's 1.29 series rating and 95.7 ADR alongside torzsi's 1.27 rating and 61-41 kill-death ratio, two players whose combined individual ceiling gave MOUZ the structural platform that G2's system could not overcome across the two maps that determined the series result.

9z Globant: W W L W W — 4 wins from their last 5 series including 2-1 vs Falcons and 2-0 vs PARIVISION.

9z arrive with huasopeek's 1.34 series rating, 62-45 kill-death ratio and 89.2 ADR against Falcons as the standout individual performance of Day 2's upset results. His USP-S pistol round ace on Dust2 was the economic turning point of the Falcons series, generating the four-round buy advantage that 9z's system converted into the momentum their Ancient comeback was built around. Their 2026 head-to-head lead over MOUZ from BLAST Open Rotterdam gives them the specific preparation data whose series result confirmed their system can beat this opponent across a full three-map series.

What to watch

MOUZ's 87.5% Nuke win rate vs 9z's huasopeek-driven upset system — MOUZ's 87.5% Nuke win rate over the last three months is the clearest map-specific structural advantage either team holds entering this match, a surface dominance whose veto implications give MOUZ the platform to force 9z into a map whose individual preparation requirements their system has not been tested on at this event. Whether MOUZ can leverage their Nuke dominance into the series lead their 2-0 pool record suggests they are capable of building — or whether huasopeek's individual ceiling and 9z's demonstrated ability to generate the consecutive round clusters that overturned Falcons' 10-5 Ancient lead can replicate that momentum against a MOUZ roster whose torzsi-elevated Swiss stage form is the highest it has been at any point in their 2026 campaign — is the map-specific dominance vs upset momentum question of PGL Astana 2026's most significant 2-0 pool match.
