MOUZ defeat FUT to reach PGL Cluj-Napoca playoffs

MOUZ secured a spot in the PGL Cluj-Napoca playoffs after defeating FUT in a decisive qualification match. The European squad closed the series with a confident 2:0 victory.

The opening map Mirage was controlled by MOUZ from start to finish and ended 13:8. The result was particularly notable because FUT had been one of the strongest Mirage teams in recent months. Before this match, the Turkish roster had won 13 consecutive games on the map. Their last loss on Mirage came back in November 2025 against Inner Circle at DreamHack Knockout Stockholm.

The real highlight of the series came on Overpass. FUT dominated the first half and built a massive 12:3 lead, putting themselves just one step away from forcing a third map. MOUZ found themselves on the brink of elimination but delivered an incredible comeback. The team survived nine match points in a row, tied the score, pushed the game into overtime, and eventually secured a dramatic 16:14 victory.

This series became one of the most thrilling matches of the PGL Cluj-Napoca group stage and showcased the resilience and mental strength of the MOUZ lineup. The win guarantees their place in the playoffs, where they will continue fighting for the title and prize pool.

For FUT, the loss marks a painful end to the group stage, especially after letting a huge Overpass lead slip away and seeing their Mirage win streak come to an end. Despite the defeat, the team demonstrated strong form and remains a dangerous opponent on the international stage.
