Virtus.pro was one of the best teams of the second group stage. The team blazed its way through the group with a 3-0 record, highlighted by 13-2 and 13-3 victories in the best-of-ones. It’s the kind of showing that foretells success in a major, but is it enough to bet on against a team of MOUZ’s caliber?
Betting tip: MOUZ is the definitive better team, and not all betting sites are respecting that. Do remember that this is a best-of-one, though.
My MOUZ vs Virtus.pro pick: MOUZ wins at 1.65 at Roobet
MOUZ has been struggling to stand out in 2025, despite the team’s demonstrated strength on the servers. With the sole exception of an early exit from IEM Katowice in February, MOUZ has placed top three in every tournament it has played in so far in 2025. It’s an incredible display of consistency that has been overshadowed completely by Vitality’s consistently winning every tournament it plays in.
The European squad was already very good in 2024, but has really gelled around Lotan “Spinx” Giladi. Many have questioned whether he’s an upgrade over Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek, who is now with Team Liquid, but there’s no question that MOUZ the Spinx era of MOUZ is one of the best in organization history.

The team has actually endured criticism from CS2 fans for its straightforward, methodical approach to the game. MOUZ doesn’t lean on one star player like Team Falcons and doesn’t rely on flashy clutches. MOUZ just plays straightforward, high-level Counter-Strike.
That’s a proven winning formula, but Virtus.pro could be a real challenge. Denis “electroNic” Sharipov has been playing at an exceptionally high level throughout the tournament thus far. The team is firing on all cylinders and it will need to keep doing so to have a chance against MOUZ.
