Highlights from ESL Pro League S24 playoffs
MOUZ 's first pistol in the series, and what a time to get it. The captain takes things into his own hands to break Spirit 's economy and extend MOUZ 's lead to two.

Four out of four pistols for Spirit in the series, and this one looks set to propel them to the Nuke decider. A good read by the Spirit CT side, but MOUZ picked their stack apart with some great shots.
Despite winning and converting both pistols, Spirit couldn't trouble MOUZ on the opening map, with Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás crowning a fantastic performance with a post-plant 3k.
An overly optimistic Danil "donk" Kryshkovets push gave Lotan "Spinx" Giladi and AK, and the Israeli rifler converted the gift to a 2k and a round for his team.
Two Spirit rounds to end the half give the majority-Russian squad a chance, but MOUZ are still in the driver's seat. A 5vs3 secured after one of the weirdest Long fights of all time, and Spirit are forced into a save.
In August, MOUZ lifted the BLAST Bounty S2 trophy after defeating Spirit in the grand final. That 3-1 victory ended both a seven-series losing against Spirit and a 17-month wait for a title.
A month later, however, Spirit returned the favor by the same score in the Porto final, leaving MOUZ one step short of another trophy.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Team Spirit still has to answer for this: "Four out of four pistols for Spirit in the series, and this one looks set to propel them to the Nuke decider. A good read by the Spirit CT side, but MOUZ picked their stack apar…" That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.

The headline skips this: "Four out of four pistols for Spirit in the series, and this one looks set to propel them to the Nuke decider. A good read by the Spirit CT side, but MOUZ picked their stack apar…" That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
