Go to match page →

On paper this is lopsided: MOUZ sit 16 places above The MongolZ in the world ranking. Those gaps close more often than people expect, so here is what the numbers say once form, head-to-head and the map pool get a vote.

The MongolZ come in ranked #20 in the world, MOUZ #4.

Our call publishes before kickoff. Free on csedge.io — premium members get every call up front.

The MongolZ

✅ Ancient strength: 83% winrate over 6 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Inferno (75% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 9 wins in last 16 (65%) shows momentum

❌ Practically never plays Anubis (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility

❌ Weak head-to-head (20% versus MOUZ) undermines matchup confidence

MOUZ

✅ Mirage strength: 79% winrate over 14 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (62% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 18 wins in last 25 (68%) shows momentum

❌ Only 33% winrate on Ancient over 9 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Practically never plays Anubis (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility
