Pelaajat Nordic Masters Fall 2023 - BLAST Premier Qualifier

MOUZ miss out on BLAST Showdown after losses to two sub-top-50 teams

15-9-2023 19:59

The European combine were knocked out by 416Olsk in the Pelaajat Nordic Masters group stage.

MOUZ were eliminated by a Swedish mix-team

MOUZ suffered a shock elimination at the hands of 416Olsk in the Pelaajat Nordic Masters group stage, an event that serves as a BLAST Showdown qualifier. Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek and company beat DUSTY but then fell to Joel "⁠joel⁠" Holmlund's Victory Zigzag and 416Olsk to exit the tournament in the group stage.

Pelaajat Nordic Masters Fall 2023 - BLAST Premier Qualifier
15/09/2023	MOUZ Finished 16:4 DUSTY	Match
15/09/2023	MOUZ Finished 16:19 Victory Zigzag	Match
15/09/2023	MOUZ Finished 10:16 416Olsk	Match

Their exit comes as an even bigger surprise given their recent good performances. MOUZ secured third place in ESL Pro League's Group B and got the better of HEROIC, MIBR, and Evil Geniuses in the tournament, but they weren't able to translate their form into online competition.

The results in Group A of Pelaajat Nordic Masters mean that Victory Zigzag and 416Olsk move on to the playoff stage, with ECSTATIC and Preasy headlining Group B, which is set to begin on Saturday.

Cloud9, MOUZ favorites in last BLAST Showdown qualifiers

RES Eastern European Masters, another BLAST Showdown qualifier running simultaneously with Pelaajat Nordic Masters, also began on Friday. Spirit were the in-form team of Group A and did enough to traverse the tournament's first stage despite a loss to Eternal Fire. The Turkish squad secured the first playoff spot, and Spirit then got the better of Monte in the decider game to leave the majority-Ukrainian squad without an appearance at the BLAST Showdown.

Group B of RES Eastern European Masters gets underway on Saturday and features several high-profile names such as Cloud9, 1win, and Bad News Eagles.

2023-09-15 20:08

They don't have best rifler too

2023-09-15 21:19

They are BO1s though keep in mind

2023-09-16 02:06

Yes and both of the maps fnatic lost 14-16.

2023-09-16 03:35

Imagine having A team full of 21 year olds that are washed💀

Twist > Jimphat

2023-09-15 20:02

aganist cheaters*

2023-09-15 20:03

Who in 4160 cheats? As they're all established tier 2 Swedish players. Every single one of them is well known and has a long history in the scene

2023-09-16 01:46

lost to cheaters

Do you guys have some proof to back up that statement?

2023-09-15 20:06

Don’t you know? If the favorite loses to a team ranked lower than them it must be cheating. Upsets don’t happen, only matchfix and cheating

2023-09-16 01:00

2023-09-16 01:05

Don't be like that Twist, Robiin, PlesseN has been in the scene longer than some HLTV users have lived

2023-09-16 04:13

siuhy & im should go back to GL and win the major next year

2023-09-15 20:05

2023-09-15 20:24

2023-09-15 20:07

2023-09-15 20:10

2023-09-15 20:14

You literally got OneGuy'd

That's a shame, they're the only good team in the qualifiers and I was hoping to see a 100% stacked Fall Showdown.

2023-09-15 20:18

Dont matter cause ENCE or G2 is likely going through anyways.

2023-09-15 20:19

Yeah I know but the more stacked the tournament is the better viewing for us right?

2023-09-15 20:27

I guess, but it would be meaningless since only G2 and ENCE can actually oppose each other properly unless both decide to choke and blow it.

2023-09-15 20:30

they need to kick dexter asap if they wanna stop being so bad

which dexter?

2023-09-15 23:11

I know its hard for poles to understand but it is a joke )))

2023-09-15 23:49

people really thought torzsi was back lmao

2023-09-15 20:21

future swedish cs lineup???

2023-09-15 20:29

That lineup is supposed to be Alliance’s (dota 2 org) roster for their entrance into the CS scene.

2023-09-15 20:31

2023-09-15 20:34

2023-09-15 21:49

people want to give broky shit but still let this absolute BOT torszi off the hook? he's dreaful. saw him live at the final in Dallas and he was shitting his pants the whole BO5

2023-09-15 21:50

Yeah but dexter gave him a laxative before the game. Dexter also farted on his breakfast.

2023-09-16 01:50

Oh I didn't know about the fart on his breakfast, that must've happened before the tournament though since Dexter also made him fast for the whole tournament.

2023-09-16 02:19

416Olsk beating mouz, just what everyone expected of course

2023-09-15 22:05

lmao mouz miss the blast qualifier every time, i think last time it was also to robiin too!

2023-09-15 22:41

people cry that bo3s are too long and then this is what happens when you try to keep tournaments short...

this is what happens when you have 2 of 8 teams with radar

2023-09-15 23:55

Save Frozen for gods sake.. Wasting his prime..

2023-09-16 01:08

They only need a good awper. Even after their recent, unnecessary, sidegrade changes they just need a good awper to have a real go in the T1 scene. Obviously at some stage they should look at replacing siuhy to upgrade the awper.
