MOUZ initially gained a 3-round lead with a pistol-round victory, but OG quickly found their footing with the help of degster's AWP. In round 6, MOUZ's attempt to push A was thwarted by the duo of flameZ and degster, with the latter even securing a collateral shot.
The game continued back and forth, with OG equalising the scoreline at 4-4. Both teams traded rounds, but OG's strong individual performances allowed them to edge ahead and finish the half with a 9-6 lead.
MOUZ started the second half by securing the pistol round and equalizing the score at 10-10. However, OG's stars NEOFRAG, degster, and flameZ continued to perform well, leading their team to a 13-10 advantage. Despite a few traded rounds, OG maintained a comfortable lead and reached match point at 15-11.
With determination, OG swiftly closed the match, securing a 16-11 victory and advancing to the 1-1 bracket. On the other hand, MOUZ will join Team Liquid in the 0-2 elimination games, facing a tough match to remain alive in the tournament.
