The finals of PGL Cluj-Napoca is set with an intriguing matchup between Team Falcons and MOUZ, but which European will come out on top and where’s the best betting action to be found?
PGL Cluj-Napoca has been a wild event. While it started with some wild mismatches between regional-level squads and top-10-ranked organizations, the wheat was naturally separated from the chaff. The strongest, at least in this event, have proven to be Falcons and MOUZ.
MOUZ’s strong showing was largely expected. The team was comfortably ranked inside the top 10 ahead of the event and the thin competition would’ve made it a shock if the team fell short of the playoffs. Falcons, on the other hand, has been a surprisingly strong standout at the event.
So how did these teams reach the finals, and what do the bookmakers have to say about it? Here’s the full breakdown.
WINNER TO PLAYOFFS! MOUZ vs Falcons – HIGHLIGHTS – PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 | CS2
Team Falcons stands as a 1.8 favorite in its match against MOUZ, which is billed as a 2.0 underdog.
There’s been a quick turnaround by bookmakers when it comes to Falcons. Just a week ago, the team was a decisive underdog in its match against Eternal Fire. Flash forward a handful of matches and it’s regarded as the favorite against MOUZ, a team ranked well inside the top 10.
The change comes after a surprisingly strong showing from Falcons’ new roster, which includes these players:
Falcons’ new roster arrived at IEM Katowice and was swiftly eliminated from the event. That led to renewed skepticism regarding the perennially underachieving organization. PGL Cluj-Napoca may have seen the team turn the corner, though. The team advanced out of the group stage with a 3-1 record and took wins over Eternal Fire and FaZe Clan to reach the finals.
Meanwhile, MOUZ continued to look strong at the event with its mostly stable roster:
MOUZ took the long road to the playoffs, going 3-2 in the group stage. The team defeated BIG, 3DMAX, and Virtus.pro. Team Falcons defeated MOUZ in the group stage, as did FaZe Clan. MOUZ will be looking to get a modicum of revenge in the finals.
Bookmakers are effectively rating this one as a toss-up, so bettors don’t have to stress too much about finding value. Fans who are bullish on one team or bearish on the other can find a solid return on a moneyline bet. That’s not all there is, though.
Team Falcons has been winning, but it hasn’t been steamrolling opponents. Even in its matches against comparatively weak competition, Falcons’ wins have been fairly close to the wire. In PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025, nine of Falcons’ map wins have come in 20 rounds or more. Just two have been 19 rounds or fewer.
Falcons winning a map in over 19.5 rounds has a 3.0 line, while a straight bet on Falcons winning the map is just 2.0. Given how this has been close to a standard occurrence for Falcons’ victories, this is a solid jump.
The PGL Cluj-Napoca finals are a best-of-five series. That means there’s a lot more money to be made on a correct map score bet than in a best-of-three.
The lowest possible return on a winning bet is roughly 4.3 on Falcons winning 3-1. The lines are above 6.0 for either team winning via a sweep. Naturally, the greater number of possible outcomes means that there is greater risk involved, but those lines are eye-catching.
