We called upon Dorian "xertioN" Berman to step up for MOUZ, and step up he did, leading from the front to see MOUZ through to the semifinals with a 2-0 (13-11, 13-2) win over FaZe.
MOUZ 13-11 (Dust 2) | 13-2 (Mirage) | N/A (Ancient) | |||

MOUZ struck early, snatching away FaZe's pick of Dust 2 — but not without a little sweat. A 7-0 start for MOUZ turned on its head thanks to a tight FaZe outfit winning 10 of the next 11 rounds to lead 11-8.
xertioN and co. kicked back into gear, making the vital adjustment to fight back and steal the map pick behind 26 kills from xertioN. The Israeli star landed a sick one-versus-three to win 13-11 and open the series.
FaZe may have looked competitive on Dust 2, but their resolve failed completely on Mirage. Three MOUZ players were deathless toward the end of a 10-2 half with Jimpphat (27-3, 2.92 rating) utterly disintegrating FaZe's CT side.
A lost pistol and a successful conversion was enough for MOUZ to end FaZe's run in Copenhagen in the top six. MOUZ proceed to the semifinals where they'll play Falcons in an IEM Melbourne rematch.
