Match Overview
The second semi-final of IEM Rio 2024 will be a rematch between FURIA and MOUZ. They already met at the Group Stage, and FURIA won with a 2-1 score. It seems like playing on home soil helps FURIA and gets them motivated a lot. We will have to see if MOUZ can play it and take their revenge when the whole crowd will cheer for FURIA here.

FURIA
They started with a win over FaZe in their opening match, and their second match was against MOUZ, which they also won. For the semi-final spot, they had to face off against the best team in the world, Natus Vincere, and most people thought it was almost no chance for FURIA, but they managed to win with a 2-0 score, and they made it to the semi-final and already made their fans proud. ‘KSCERATO’ was playing out of his mind against Natus Vincere, and if he keeps that in that match, it might be dangerous for MOUZ.
MOUZ
They’ve been in some kind of slump for a while, but at this tournament, it seems like they’re back and ready to be the top team. It all started with them eliminating FaZe while fighting for the quarter-final spot. In the quarter-final, it was Vitality, who has been much better than FaZe lately, and it was a real challenge for them to take. They won against Vitality with a 2-1 score and even losing the first map didn’t stop them, and they didn’t give up. ‘xertioN’ is doing a great job and he is in great shape and their star player ‘Jimpphat’ is also there to lead the scoreboards.

Match Prediction
The crowd will cheer for FURIA, and the home arena might help them, but the experience and distance show us that MOUZ is a better team overall. We prefer a more consistent team and good results on a long distance than just one tournament, so we expect MOUZ to win this match.
Can MOUZ take their revenge here in a more important match for the group stage results against FURIA, or will it be FURIA to make the crowd happy and reach the Grand Finals at their home arena? We will have to see it this Saturday at 19:15 CET!
