MOUZ Reach CAC 2026 Semifinals After Victory Over B8

MOUZ defeated B8 2:0 and advanced to the semifinals of CS Asia Championships 2026, where they will face Falcons. Despite the clean map score, the series turned out to be tense, especially on Ancient, where the teams had to play three overtimes.

On Overpass, MOUZ managed to turn the match around after a poor start. The team was trailing 5:8, but then delivered a strong CT side and won the map 13:8. One of the key players once again was Dorian “xertioN” Berman, who looked confident on defense and continued to show a high individual level.

On Ancient, MOUZ also started strong and went into the side switch with a 9:3 lead. However, B8 did not give up and produced a strong run of rounds on defense. Andrii “npl” Kukharskyi played a major role in the comeback: first, he won an important 1v3 clutch at the end of the first half, and then secured four kills in the pistol round.

The map went into overtime, where the teams traded clutches and struggled for a long time to determine the winner. In total, nine clutches were won on Ancient, four of them by Justinas “jL” Lekavicius. After the match, he noted that losing such a game would have been very painful, but MOUZ managed to stay focused.

In the end, MOUZ closed out the match and moved forward, but the team will need to work on its mistakes before facing Falcons. The victory over B8 was important, but far from the most convincing one.
