MOUZ vs NAVI Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023

MOUZ vs NAVI will pit two new-look rosters against each other in the IEM Cologne 2023 Group B Upper Bracket Quarterfinals 

Coming off an excellent IEM Cologne 2023 Play-in campaign, MOUZ are set to challenge Natus Vincere in their first group stage series of the competition. The Ukrainian outfit enter the fray after a moderately successful BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2023 mission, which saw them bag BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023 access via play-ins. NAVI are the CSGO betting favorites for this tie regardless, as they have a more experienced squad. 

MOUZ

MOUZ advanced to the top-16 stage of IEM Cologne with a convincing 2-0 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas in the upper bracket of the Play-in. They dominated on Nuke (16-12) and Inferno (16-7).
