MOUZ best Outsiders on Inferno
"dexter" and his troops secure a crucial victory against Outsiders
In the final set of Bo1-series for the day, Outsiders (virtus.pro) faced MOUZ in a battle for a much-needed victory. Both teams were sitting on a 1-1 record before locking horns on the server today, and a victory could prove instrumental for their run at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A event. A close battle ensued between the two tier-one rosters and it became apparent immediately that a close game was on the cards. Ultimately, MOUZ proved the slightly stronger roster on the day and at the scoreline of 16-12, they managed to secure a crucial victory against Outsiders.
The map that the two teams decided on came to be Inferno. The map of Inferno is one of the most played maps in the history of Counter-Strike and neither team can be said to be unfamiliar with the Italian soil. Despite this, however, it was the Outsiders who were slightly favored going into the brawl. A close first half concluded as close as possible at the scoreline of 8-7.
Whilst it was difficult to determine the better team in the first half of Inferno, the second half was far far more one-sided. A stellar CT-sided performance from MOUZ, led by their aggressive IGL in "dexter", proved too difficult for Outsiders to break down. At the scoreline of 16-12, it was MOUZ to upset the favored Outsiders roster and secure a crucial victory for themselves.
