Team Form & Key Players Ahead of the Semi-final
PARIVISION – The Tournament’s Dark Horse

MOUZ – Elite Contenders Searching for a Title

MOUZ have remained one of the world’s strongest teams since last year and continue to hold a top-five position in global rankings. However, despite their consistency, the team has struggled to convert deep playoff runs into trophies.
