mousesports beat PENTA; qualify for Major

The match started with PENTA taking the early lead after winning the pistol round on the terrorist side and following it up with the two anti-ecos. PENTA played fast explosive CS that MOUZ couldn’t stop, and the former won the first gun round, and further increased their lead to 5-0 after winning another anti-eco. PENTA didn’t give MOUZ a breath, playing aggressively and winning the trade duels, with Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek getting several multi-kill rounds in the early match.

With MOUZ unable to build an economy, Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong and company called two timeouts before the tenth round to try and find a solution to PENTA’s steamrolling, as the latter took the first nine rounds of the match. Finally, MOUZ got on the board thanks to a big round by Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell, who got a triple in mid and stopped PENTA on their tracks. After getting on the board MOUZ were able to salvage the half winning every round up to the half.

After exploding onto B, MOUZ won the trades and planted the bomb, closing the round out by taking all the CTs out. After mouz winning the anti-ecos, the match was tied, 9-9. Both teams traded rounds, but it was then MOUZ that started to get momentum, especially with an incredibly strong Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool dismantling PENTA’s defenses, despite Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn’s several multi-kill rounds.

PENTA then started winning some rounds, taking the lead back, 13-12, and putting MOUZ in economic trouble, but mouz won an eco on A to bring it back even going into the last stretch of the match. Finally, it was the more experienced MOUZ, playing on the attacking side, that were able to close it out on the last round, 16-14.
