MOUZ and FaZe secured the final two spots in the Intel Extreme Masters<\/a> Dallas 2023 playoffs on Wednesday following wins over OG and Cloud9. <\/p>\n

The Counter-Strike<\/a> tournament’s playoff bracket is now complete, with six teams set to compete for the $100,000 cash prize and a chance to play in the IEM Cologne. <\/p>\n

MOUZ qualified for the IEM Dallas playoff stage after winning OG 2-0 in Group A lower bracket final. Conversely, OG leaves the CS:GO event with a top-eight placing and a $6,000 cash prize. <\/p>\n

The teams played on Mirage and Inferno, which MOUZ won 16-10 and 16-7, respectively. David “frozen” \u010cer\u0148ansk\u00fd was the highest-rated player on the series with a 1.60 rating, followed by Christopher “\u2060dexter\u2060” Nong. <\/p>\n

In their first attempt to reach the playoffs, MOUZ was beaten by Heroic before getting 2-0 wins against FURIA and OG and securing their spot. <\/p>\n

The win is a welcome change for MOUZ following their previous disappointing performances. The team recorded last-place finishes in events like the IEM Rio and the BLAST.tv Paris Major Challengers Stage. <\/p>\n

FaZe secured the last spot in the IEM Dallas playoffs after beating Cloud9 1-2. The three-map series was played on Mirage, which FaZe won 16-7, and Inferno, where Cloud9 were able to tie the scores and push for a third map. FaZe took home Ancient 16-9, winning the series and the last spot in the playoffs. <\/p>\n

The match was their second game against each other since facing off in the BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR last chance qualifier where FaZe were also victorious.<\/p>\n

Cloud9 leave the CS:GO tournament in 7th-8th place, securing $6,000 from the prize pool. <\/p>\n

The teams will continue playing in the quarter-finals in Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Texas, on Friday before advancing to the semi-finals on Saturday. The playoffs conclude in a best-of-three grand final on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The IEM Dallas quarter-finals will see MOUZ play against Astralis on Friday at 19:30 following the Danish lineup’s 1-2 loss to ENCE. G2 and FaZe will follow at 23:00 in the quarter-final round.<\/p>\n

The victor of the MOUZ-Astralis match-up will face off against Heroic on Saturday in the tournament’s semi-finals. Heroic secured a top-four finish after winning matches against 9z, G2, and MOUZ without dropping a single map. <\/p>\n

ENCE are also in the semi-finals and will play against the winner of the G2 vs. FaZe match. If they win, ENCE will confirm their second consecutive IEM Dallas grand final appearance.
