MOUZ vs G2 Esports in-depth team analysis

MOUZ roster and recent results

MOUZ is looking strong so far in 2025. While an early exit from IEM Katowice 2025 might’ve left a sour taste in the team’s mouth, winning PGL Cluj-Napoca fixed that. The team also looked strong in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 21, going 3-1. Here’s the team’s roster:

• Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás
• Dorian “xertioN” Berman
• Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo
• Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin
• Lotan “Spinx” Giladi

G2 Esports roster and recent results

G2 has looked generally solid in 2025, but the pure results haven’t been great. The team finished top-12 in IEM Katowice and went 1-1 in BLAST Bounty Spring. Reaching the EPL playoffs is a good thing, but the team is definitely looking to do better than top-eight. The team punched its ticket to the playoffs with a win over GamerLegion.

Here is G2 Esports’ roster at ESL Pro League Season 21:

• Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač
• Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov
• Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa
• Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski
• Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko
