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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
