Team Vitality best MOUZ to book ticket for Major

Before the match between MOUZ and Team Vitality, much of the focus was on the AWP duel between Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut and Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás with the latter being criticized for a lackluster event. Today the Hungarian answered back. While ZywOo kept his insanely high level in the match, the Frenchman had to deal with a well-playing torzsi on the server.

On Inferno, it was MOUZ and torzsi in control. Despite it being the map pick of Vitality, it was MOUZ who came out firing with a superb CT half leading 13-2. Vitality pushed back, but could not catch up on MOUZ who won the map 16-13.

Then ZywOo stepped up his game once again. On Mirage the Frenchman went 23-11 in K-D, and with his countryman apEX unleashed the two of them dismantled MOUZ, who had to give up their own map pick 8-16.

Vertigo was the last setting for the match. Again it was a ZywOo vs torzsi show, where both of them pushed the limits in order to win the match and qualify for Rio. In the end, ZywOo had better help from his teammates, and Vitality won the map and match 16-7.

MOUZ will get another chance tomorrow to qualify.
