Team Spirit advance to the semifinals of IEM Rio after a confident win over MOUZ

The match started on Dust2, where Spirit immediately set the pace. The team dominated both on the T and CT sides, leaving their opponents with no room for a comeback. The final score of 13:5 fully reflected the gap in performance, as MOUZ struggled to establish control and consistently lost key rounds.
