MOUZ eliminated after another bad performance at DreamHack Open November
Two terrible T-sides made it impossible for MOUZ to defeat MAD Lions.
For the second time at DreamHack Open November, MOUZ was beaten by MAD Lions.
Both teams were 1-1 in Group A and had to win the decider match to qualify for the playoffs. It started well for MOUZ, who came out hot on their CT-side on Dust2. But the 11-4 lead at the break quickly diminished in the second half, where MOUZ crumpled and only managed to win two rounds. It was the trio of Thomas 'TMB' Bundsbæk, Justinas 'jL' Lekavicius, and Pere 'sausol' Solsona Saumell who stole all of MOUZ' momentum during the map, that ended 16-13 in favor of MAD Lions.
The hot streak carried over on Nuke for MAD Lions. Once again it was their CT-side, that was near flawless. Again it was the Lithuanian rifler Justinas 'jL' Lekavicius who made a lot of damage, while Volodymyr 'Woro2k' Veletniuk controlled the outside area with his AWP. On the other side of the server, it took in-game leader Christopher 'dexter' Nong 15 rounds to put his first kill on the scoreboard in another catastrophe of a T-side from MOUZ.
The Australian immediately took his revenge on the CT-side, where he made three kills in the pistol round to quadruple his total kills on the map, but it was not near enough for MOUZ to avoid the elimination from the tournament. MAD Lions on the other half can look forward to Saturday's Semi-Finals, where they face Fnatic. There is $50.000 on the line for first place and a spot in the ESL Pro League Conference for the winner of DreamHack Open November.
