MOUZ dismantle ENCE to go 2-1 in EPL

16-9-2022 22:18

Group C remains wide open, with all teams still having a chance to progress.

MOUZ have won the European derby against ENCE, winning a close-fought game on Mirage (16-13) before a dominant performance on Overpass (16-3).

David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský was MOUZ's best performer, as he averaged a 1.41 rating in the series, putting up 15 kills on the CT side of Overpass and locking down everything ENCE had to offer. MOUZ now sit on a 2-1 record, with games against Group C's two lowest-rated squads of Complexity and HEET remaining for the European combine.

ENCE have a 1-2 record, with their next test coming on Saturday at 19:30 against Astralis, where they will attempt to turn things around after two lackluster showings.

frozen had another splendid performance

The series opened with MOUZ’s pick of Mirage, with the European squad getting off to an electrifying start by winning the pistol. ENCE won a force buy straight away, but MOUZ's consecutive attacks on the B site put them into a healthy lead at 5-3. They continued their impressive showing, with frozen and new addition Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman winning a 2vs4 situation that enabled them to come out 9-6 ahead at the interval.

Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's triple kill got MOUZ the second pistol round, which they converted to a 12-6 lead. It wasn't an easy win for them, however, as ENCE won an eco round on the B site to start a comeback in which they won six out of seven rounds. With the scoreline at 13-12, MOUZ won an unlikely round with just pistols and never looked back; the map ended 16-13 in their favor.

No fates to be decided on day 3 of wide-open EPL Group C

Overpass began with another fast start by MOUZ, with a pistol round conversion setting them up for a 5-0 lead. ENCE's three-round streak got them back into the game, with Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså being the best performer on their offense. MOUZ stabilized and won the remaining seven rounds with a stellar defense, as they took the half by the scruff of the neck to secure a 12-3 lead for the second period.

A pistol win for MOUZ meant closing out the game was a mere formality for the dexter-led team, as they won four rounds in a row to win the map in dominant fashion.

#VaMOUZ, GGs! Imagine losing to Botstralis and winning against Ence and Heroic, both arguably better than Asstralis.

Mouz needs experience which comes through time. Their most experienced player is 20 years old (Dexter is older but has a lot less T1/2 experience than Frozen), and they are very lacking in consistency, which comes with experience. With consistency they can be a serious contender in T1.

They seem to work well under Dexters leadership (Aussies play rather brainlessly/aggressive) i wonder if someone like BlameF would fit, whose playstyle is not far from that. It'd be huge as he's superior individual compared to Dexter and perhaps not bad IGL.

Or he's one of those realistic fans that actually can criticize their team instead of being delusional

2022-09-17 05:55

Yes I would criticize EG and I have in the past a lot but I wouldn’t call them evil shitters or anything like that which is why I was surprised he said botstralis and asstralis maybe that’s just a me thing

2022-09-17 16:18

Do you see EG as a good team?

2022-09-17 10:31

When with Stewie no but with NealaN maybe

this group gets tangled match by match am afraid Astralis might miss out

very likely cuz i doubt they will go 2-0 against heroic and ence

2022-09-16 22:28

i can see them taking down either team on a good day but going 2-0 against both is great of a challenge

2022-09-17 12:26

It's scripted, Heroic will throw against them and Ence will choke

2022-09-17 02:25

i wouldnt mind that happening tbh

2022-09-17 12:27

Heroic will work their ass out if they have a chance to make Astralis disqualify.

2022-09-18 06:22

Astralis is a weak team and have bad synergy. BlameF only blames the rest and konfig can only play good on Ancient.

2022-09-17 09:27

the team has their fair share of issues yes but at times they show that they can function as a squad but overall , everyone lacks consistency .

Ty mouz i have 1st place of fantasy now

Go go guys!

NICE!!

"Dismantle"???? Only overpass counts??

2022-09-16 22:45

I mean a 2-0 loss with 8 round wins per map isn't great. So even if you frame it that way

2022-09-16 23:19

at least its not "edging" like every second news back some time ago

What Would Snax Do

2022-09-16 22:55

That's all the hard opponents done. Hopefully they don't throw against coL and HEET like Astralis did.

2022-09-17 01:20

SIUUUUUU

2022-09-17 01:22

Honestly, Astralis should go after Valde to save them mans a beast he deserves the opportunity to save a legendary franchise and that's very hard to say as a Liquid fan.
