NAVI and MOUZ have emerged victorious in the semifinal round of the ESL Pro League Season 18, earning their spots in the highly anticipated Grand Finals. Both teams showcased their skills and determination to secure their place in the final showdown.
In a closely contested match, NAVI triumphed over Monte with a 2-0 victory. Although Monte put up a strong fight, NAVI’s dominance prevailed. Monte managed to secure twelve rounds on Anubis and took an early lead of 9-6 on Mirage. However, NAVI made a remarkable comeback on the CT side of Anubis, winning ten out of eleven rounds to close out the series.
The clash between MOUZ and ENCE was equally intense. The best-of-three series ended with MOUZ emerging as the victors with a 2-1 scoreline. MOUZ claimed the first map, Mirage, with a 16-13 win. ENCE responded strongly on Vertigo, securing a 16-11 victory after an impressive T half. However, MOUZ showcased their prowess on Nuke, one of their strongest maps, and convincingly defeated ENCE.
The Grand Finals promise to be an exhilarating affair as NAVI and MOUZ battle it out for the championship title. NAVI boasts some of the biggest stars in Counter-Strike, including Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. On the other hand, MOUZ’s in-game leader, Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek, has previously led his team to the grand finals of the BLAST Paris Major. Both teams have displayed exceptional performances throughout the tournament, with NAVI remaining undefeated and MOUZ only dropping maps against formidable opponents such as G2 and ENCE.
The Grand Finals not only offer a chance to claim the lion’s share of the $850,000 prize pool but also the honor of being the last Pro League champions in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive era. The future of Pro League competitions will be held on the newly-released CS2, marking the beginning of a new era in the esport. This matchup between NAVI and MOUZ has the potential to be the final one of its kind in the history of Global Offensive.
