Match Overview
The first semi-final of PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 will see MOUZ face off against Astralis. These two teams have had it rough lately, but now they’re both here in the clash for the Grand Final spot at one of the biggest tournaments. These two teams met before at the BLAST Premier World Final 2024, and Astralis won with a score of 2-0. Now, let’s take a deeper look at these teams, and we will give our prediction for the match.
Last Heads-up Match Result and Players Statistics
Current Team and Players Form
MOUZ
They made a huge roster move by getting rid of their in-game leader ‘siuhy’ and making ‘Brollan’ their new in-game leader, who didn’t have any experience doing so in the past. It is hard to tell if it works for them or not because it is their first tournament with all the changes they made, and in this case, it’s only distance that can tell. As of now, it seems like ‘xertioN’, ‘Jimpphat’, and ‘torszi’ are all three in great form, and they were shining at this tournament, but how will it work against the best teams? We are yet to see.
Astralis
Even though they made it to the semi-final past TheMongolZ, they’re still the same team that depends on whether they have a good day, and it needs more distance to tell if they can keep that level consistently. ‘Jabbi’, ‘Staehr’, and ‘dev1ce’ were leading the scoreboards in their match against TheMongolZ, and if they can keep that level, they might be the real contender for the title at this tournament.

Match Prediction
It is hard to predict a winner when it’s a match between two teams that have not shown any consistency over a long distance. So, considering both teams have weaknesses in their map pools against each other, we think a bet on the number of maps played will be a much better choice. We expect this match to go all three maps with a bet for a Total of over 2.5 Maps to be played.
Can MOUZ take their revenge for the BLAST and take down Astralis, or will it be Astralis to reach their first Grand Final this year? We will have to see it this Saturday at 16:00 CET!
