MOUZ vs Team Spirit: BLAST Open Spring 2025 betting guide

Steven Rondina Published 19/03/2025

MOUZ and Team Spirit are playing at BLAST Open Spring and this match has some big stakes for both the teams and bettors.

Team Spirit has been regarded as the world’s best Counter-Strike team for some time now, but that standing is at risk. Team Vitality’s wins in IEM Katowice 2025 and ESL Pro League Season 21 are making many rethink Spirit’s standing. A big part of Vitality’s rise, though, has been MOUZ.

MOUZ both eliminated Spirit from EPL 21 and took the grand finals loss to Vitality. Spirit will be looking to right that ship in BLAST Open Spring and get a bit of revenge.

Team Spirit vs MOUZ roster, results, and best maps

Team Spirit roster and recent form

Team Spirit remains one of the best Counter-Strike teams in the world, courtesy of its first-place finishes in the Shanghai Major and BLAST Bounty Spring 2025 events. However, it’s coming off a pair of events where it stumbled near the finish line, taking second in IEM Katowice and top-four in ESL Pro League Season 21.

Team Spirit’s donk-led roster is still exceptional, but Team Vitality is breathing down its neck right now:

• Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov
• Boris “magixx” Vorobyev
• Myroslav “zont1x” Plakhotja
• Danil “donk” Kryshkovets
• Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov

Team Spirit map pool

Team Spirit is good on every active duty Counter-Strike 2 map. It has a winning record everywhere, though it’s 19-5 on Dust 2 over the last six months. Its worst map, statistically speaking, is Anubis where it’s 8-7.

MOUZ roster and recent form

MOUZ has had a great start to 2025 thus far with a first-place finish in PGL Cluj-Napoca and second in EPL 21, but the 3-0 drubbing from Vitality in the EPL finals was rough. It got back on its feet with a hard fought victory over Team Falcons in the BLAST Open Spring group stage’s opening round to advance into this match.

MOUZ brings in its standard roster for this match:

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

MOUZ map pool

MOUZ has about an even record across most maps, with just a few exceptions. It has a winrate over 70% on Nuke and over 60% on Ancient over the last six months. During that stretch, has gone just 8-11 on Mirage.

Team Spirit vs MOUZ statistics, data

• When they played in EPL 21, MOUZ beat Spirit on Ancient and Nuke
• MOUZ lost on Dust 2 during that match, though

Team Spirit vs MOUZ head-to-head record

Team Spirit and MOUZ have played against each other over the last year with both teams taking two wins. MOUZ won their last match though; a 2-1 victory in the EPL 21 semifinals.

Team Spirit vs MOUZ betting odds

Team Spirit is a sizable 1.5 favorite against MOUZ in their group stage match in BLAST Open Spring 2025. Despite winning their last match, MOUZ is a 2.56 underdog. That’s a bit of a rough look from the bookies, given how recent that win was.

Team Spirit vs MOUZ best betting picks & match predictions

Core picks

• Team Spirit wins (1.5)
  • Team Spirit winning at 1.5 is a solid value given how likely the team is to win
• MOUZ wins 2-1 (5.08)
  • MOUZ won that last match 2-1; while bookies don’t think that lightning will strike twice, that line above 5.00 is tempting

Prediction

Team Spirit is likely to defeat MOUZ in their next match. Though MOUZ got the win last time, it was still a tough match and there’s no sign of a systemic issue that would skew things into MOUZ’s favor.
