Format: Online

Team Yandex Win in Bucharest

Roster: watson, CHIRA_JUNIOR, ATF, Saksa, Malady

Manager: Accell

Team Yandex signed ATF after he left Falcons, with former offlaner DM’s place already uncertain. The move paid off immediately. Although the field at PGL Wallachia Season 9 was not especially strong, Yandex won the title while dropping maps only to MOUZ in their opener and Aurora in the upper-bracket semifinal.

Yandex secured first blood in 49% of their maps but were first to 10 kills in 61%. They won 86% of maps in which they took first blood and 89% when they reached 10 kills first. Across their last 61 maps, they have a 70% win rate and an average map duration of 39 minutes.

MOUZ Struggle Against Stronger Opponents

Roster: 423, Supream^, BOOM, mrls, MoOz

Manager: ImmortalFaith

MOUZ have struggled even against tier-two competition. They initially missed out on this tournament after losing to NAVI in qualifying, but received a place while several top teams remained on break. They played some competitive maps in Bucharest, yet finished 2-3 in the group stage and did not advance.

Over the past month, MOUZ have won 45% of their 29 maps, which lasted 44 minutes on average. They secured first blood in 57% of those maps and won 63% when they did. They reached 10 kills first in half their maps, winning 71% of those.

Early-Game Outlook

Team Yandex play aggressively. They sometimes fall behind at the start but tend to take the lead during the laning phase and convert it into a win. Their maps at the most recent event lasted 33 minutes on average.

Frequent roster changes have made MOUZ less consistent. Against Yandex, they will need to limit the early pressure and look for opportunities later in the game. MOUZ often have to play from behind: they reached 10 kills first in only half their maps over the past month.

Team Yandex vs MOUZ Prediction: Team Yandex Handicap -26.5

Main prediction: MOUZ took a map off Yandex in Bucharest, but that was ATF’s first series with the roster. Yandex subsequently beat Aurora, LGD and NAVI, among others. MOUZ, meanwhile, failed to get out of their group; their only wins in Romania came against Pibbles Corp and Hokori, who were also eliminated early. Yandex averaged just 16.71 deaths per map, while MOUZ averaged 27.48 deaths and 24.93 kills. The pick is Team Yandex to cover a -26.5 kill handicap at 1.87.

Correct score prediction: Team Yandex and PARIVISION are the tournament favorites, while MOUZ have struggled even at tier-two events. The Yandex series was MOUZ’s only three-map match in Bucharest; they had also lost 2-0 to Dawn Bulls in qualifying for BLAST SLAM IX. Yandex dropped a map in just two of their seven series in Romania. The additional pick is Team Yandex to win 2-0 at 1.33.
