It turns out that if you take the best group stage team in the world, and remove the arena bit where they normally choke, they’re just the best team in the world.

MOUZ have always brought down the hammer on anyone who dares test them in groups, and with no big scary crowd to stop them, they did exactly the same at Pro League.

Up against them in the final was Vitality, who’d been powered by a ZywOo performance that also, we’re assured, had nothing to do with the fact there was no crowd. ZywOo was absolutely ridiculous all the way until he met MOUZ, where he was… fine.

We guess. It certainly wasn’t his fault they lost.

They kinda just got shafted, honestly. xertioN was near-unstoppable, siuhy outclassed apEX in nearly every way possible, torzsi outdid ZywOo, mezii looked completely lost… it was a tornado of things going wrong for Vitality.

There’s little else to say about that game that isn’t ‘MOUZ good lol’, so we think it’s worth mentioning that the bad guys won in Astralis vs Liquid, as cadiaN was forced to shake the hands of his killers - and his reported kickers, as it were - Jabbi and stavn.

They then lost to Vitality in heartbreaking fashion, though, while MOUZ pulled off a comeback against coL to go from 0-1 to 2-1.

MOUZ, it turns out, are the best team in the world. As long as there’s no fans or arenas, and there’s lots of kebab shops nearby. Otherwise, it might be Eternal Fire.
