Elisa Masters Espoo 2023Live updates from Elisa Masters Espoo day 3
Two teams will go to the playoffs and two will be sent home in the final day of the group stage.
After the match, Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás spoke to HLTV about MOUZ's early elimination in the Finnish tournament and their expectations for the rest of the year.
On his thoughts after the loss: "It’s a devastating loss, unfortunately. We didn’t really expect this, we came here wanting much better results and it’s not nice. We are a little bit disappointed, but we need to look to the future. We still have BLAST World Final and we want to play well there, so that is what is most important for us, we will focus on that."
On whether the inexperience played a part: "To be honest I don’t know, I think it’s a good question, but it’s hard to answer. I honestly think there were a lot of unfortunate situations where we were getting killed through smokes, and the situations didn’t come in our favor. But definitely we could have played much better, I don’t know if it was experience or just the fact the last two weeks I was really sick. We couldn’t really practice too much."
Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato joined James "BanKs" Banks for a quick post-match interview, where he outlined the reasons why his team is so good on Ancient.
"We can push a lot on Ancient and be aggressive. Also we can play a lot of mid-rounds, which we can do because we have FalleN as a mid-caller."
This time a 9-3 lead was enough for a comfortable victory, with the Brazilians booking their spot in the semi-finals after a 2-0 victory.
They will face HAVU on Saturday for a spot in the grand final.

From 2-0 up to 3-9 down, MOUZ have been visibly second-best on Ancient. FURIA have found several unfavored rounds on their offense and now move to the preferred CT side to try and secure their playoff spot.
FURIA have quickly negated MOUZ's pistol victory and currently sit 5-2 up on the offensive side of Ancient. The Brazilian squad looks completely different from the FURIA that got demolished by Apeks yesterday.
FURIA's offensive half was enough for them to close out their opponent's pick in a 13-11 victory. It was a hard-fought victory, but a quick B split was enough for them to secure the series lead.
Ancient is up next.
It looked like FURIA's consecutive A attacks were enough for the Brazilians to close out, but they fumbled a round against two saved rifles to give MOUZ another chance.
The European combine looks in the flow again, and the deficit stands at just one round. Both teams have a full buy in the next.
They are still quite a bit behind, but Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo's ballsy play got MOUZ within three rounds of FURIA.
MOUZ may have the crowd on their side due to fielding Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo, but they are yet to get going on their map pick.
FURIA closed out a dominant 9-3 first half, and a second-half pistol would surely be enough for victory.
Mirage has always been a strong map for Brazilian teams, and FURIA have gotten off to a quick 4-0 lead on everybody's favorite (or least-favorite) map.
Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato is leading the way for his team with six kills, and he certainly needs to keep this up if FURIA are to secure a playoff spot.
