xertion در اولین پیروزی با MOUZ در صدر جدول امتیازات قرار دارد

MOUZ claimed an important ESL Pro League Season 16 opening win in a group which has no clear favorite and is expected to be a brawl for the three available playoff spots. They did so with a clean 2-0, scraping by in their Mirage pick, 16-14, before shutting قهرمانانه down 16-9 in a wild Dust2 pick.

The international squad came into the series with a new lineup, featuring MOUZ NXT" دوریان "تلاش" برمن in place of the benched اوریماس "بایماس" پیپیراس. The Israeli youngster rejoined his two former academy teammates, ادم "تورزی" تورزاس و جان "JDC" د کاسترو، در MOUZ’s main team. He proved more than capable at a higher level of play than his previous experience in the academy team would suggest, with a 1.25 rating, 1.46 impact and 86 ADR in his first team debut.

MOUZ و قهرمانانه last met at IEM Cologne, where the Danish squad’s early struggles coming from the player break started to become apparent. On that occasion کاسپر "کادیا" مولر and company were knocked out of the tournament in last place by MOUZ after an opening loss to نینجا در لباس خواب. قهرمانانه’s woes then continued on home soil at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, where they failed to make it to the Fall Finals.

MOUZ’s newcomer, xertionN, pushed deep into Mirage’s A site to tally the first frag of the series in a successful A execute that put his team ahead. JDC then got a triple in the anti-forcebuy to ease MOUZ into a 3-0 after the anti-eco. قهرمانانه won the first gun round in a bid to stabilize on the international squad’s map pick, but it wasn’t until a seven round streak after going down 2-6 that the Danes asserted dominance and took a 9-6 lead.

قهرمانانه hit double digits with a slow pistol round on A, but two Desert Eagle kills by xertionN turned the tides of the second round to keep MOUZ close and کریستوفر "دکستر" نونگ’s men continued to rack up the rounds until they regained the lead. It came to be a one-round match when MOUZ’s dominance was brought to a halt by قهرمانانه in the dying embers of the map, but ultimately the international squad hung tight to pull off a last-round 16-14 victory.

The Danes then got off to a disastrous start on their Dust2 punish pick and were devoured by xertionN, who posted 17 kills in his team’s 9-0 start on the CT side. It wasn’t until the tenth round that قهرمانانه found success on the A site, which opened up the can for three more round wins in a 4-11 half.

مارتین "استاون" لوند and company went 5-0 on the CT side in blunt enough fashion for commentator خرده کاغذ "اسپونج" برچیل to predict a third map, but MOUZ had different plans and kicked into gear, striking with four successful attacks in a row to hit match point. Down and out, قهرمانانه lost a 5vs3 against a B hit in the 25th round, the last dagger to the heart, which confirmed MOUZ’s first victory at ESL Pro League Season 16 in xertionN‘s debut series.

دنیس "سیکرون" نیلسن’s squad will take on the other Danish squad in Group C, Astralis, in their second ESL Pro League match, while قهرمانانه will have a chance to get back on track against the new-look ENCE.
