Melbourne rematch as MOUZ forced to prove they deserve number two spot against Falcons: Preview

Head-to-head: MOUZ 8-5 Falcons
Last meeting: Falcons 2-0 (13-6, 13-3) @ IEM Melbourne 2025

For these two teams, there’s more than just the BLAST Rivals Spring title at stake. The Falcons surged to third place in the VRS global rankings following their victory in Bucharest and second place in Melbourne. They are closing in on MOUZ, who have also been performing exceptionally well recently.

However, the intense battle between Falcons and MOUZ at IEM Melbourne is still vividly remembered by both players and spectators. This encounter saw Falcons delivering a crushing defeat to MOUZ, an outcome that was quite unexpected this year. The 20-year-old player, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, who was participating in his first event, was ruthless in his annihilation of MOUZ on the Australian stage.

The thrilling match between Falcons and MOUZ at IEM Melbourne remains etched in the minds of all involved. In a surprising turn of events for this year, Falcons handed MOUZ a heavy defeat. The young sniper, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, who was making his debut at the event, showed no mercy towards MOUZ on the Australian stage.

MOUZ seem unfazed by their recent loss, as they’ve made a strong comeback in Copenhagen this week. They sailed through the group stage with an impressive performance against Vitality, and then routed a struggling FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals.

Yesterday, Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo and Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás were exceptional against FaZe Clan, but unfortunately, they struggled in their previous encounter with The Falcons. It’s crucial for the duo from MOUZ to deliver top-notch performances again if they want to counteract the potent firepower of The Falcons, who have been consistently improving.

The battle for the world number two spot heats up; the action kicks off May 3 at 4pm CEST!
