MOUZ crash out of PGL Cluj-Napoca and fail to defend trophy

Jame gave MOUZ the business again, just like at the IEM Rio Major 2022.

Jame gave MOUZ the business again in this semi-final, just like at the IEM Rio Major 2022.

Dzhami ‘Jame’ Ali and Ivan ‘zweih’ Gogin starred to send a young PARIVISION squad to their second grand final of the season.

MOUZ came into this series as a heavy favorite, having been a solid top four team for all of 2025. Their nemesis has been Vitality, but this time, they were not required to dispatch of them.

Brollan: “We need more experience”

After losing in another stage match of a big tournament, captain Ludvig ‘Brollan’ Brolin said that the reason for the loss came down lo lacking experience against PARIVISION.

He said that their style was difficult to counter, as it’s uncommon in today’s META.

The stylistic mismatch definitely showed on the scoreboard.

Jame and zweih show their skill and experience

In a win comprising a 13-11 and a 13-10, Jame and zweih had had over 70 kills between them. Despite having three top 20 players, nobody on MOUZ reached either of their kill counts.

Jame really encapsulated the nature of this upset, when he used trigger discipline to completely outplay three unsuspecting MOUZ players.

On the desk, the analysts scrutinized MOUZ’s need for “more experience”, over a year into their roster’s formation.
