Odds — the prediction-market price at the moment the AI model answered.

The gap in form is too wide for a tight series here. Team Yandex have won eight of their last ten series, and four of the recent ones ended 2-0. Over the past 60 days their map record reads 27-15, against 16-23 for MOUZ, who lost six of ten series in the same period. Ten head-to-heads across two years have gone seven to Team Yandex, and the most recent of them, on 19 September at PGL Wallachia 2026 Season 9, came against an already rebuilt MOUZ. MOUZ have played just two maps in the past week to eight for Team Yandex, and the new faces mrls and 423 have only been playing together since 19 September, so the Team Yandex -1.5 map handicap at 1.35 rests on more than class alone.

That September meeting still finished 2-1, which shows MOUZ can take a map off the favourite, and in February at BLAST SLAM VI they beat Team Yandex 1-0. Maladych and AMMAR_THE_F are not on the roster for this tournament; ATF and Malady are in instead, and neither has played for the team yet. A reshuffle like that weighs more on the map score than on who wins the series.
