MOUZ send BIG packing at PGL Stockholm Major
After a three-map thriller, it was MOUZ, who the German derby.
It will be MOUZ, who will represent Germany at the Legend stage at PGL Stockholm Major. The Hamburg-based Organisation won their elimination match against Berlin International Gaming (BIG) after three maps of pure drama at the studio in Stockholm.
BIG kicked the match off by winning their map pick of Dust2. Another stellar performance from Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz helped BIG take a huge step towards the next stage at the tournament. It was a flawless CT-side that had the map tipping BIG's way.
On to Inferno, it was an unlikely hero in Frederik 'acoR' Gyldstrand, who turned up big time for MOUZ. The Danish AWP'er has been heavily criticized for subpar performances, but today the Dane was on point. On Inferno he was not only the top fragger on his team but also won all his duels against BIG's reliable sniper, Florian 'syrsoN' Rische. MOUZ equalized the score with a 16-12 to take the match to Nuke.
For the third time in a row, MOUZ had the lead at halftime. And for the second map in a row, they managed to keep hold of the lead, and eliminated BIG. MOUZ is ready for the Legends Stage at the PGL Stockholm Major.
