Team Yandex vs MOUZ Betting Predictions
Team Yandex will face MOUZ on Wednesday, September 30, in the opening round of Group C at BLAST SLAM VIII, in their sixth meeting of the year.
Team Yandex are heavily favoured to win on Wednesday and secure their fifth head-to-head victory of the year.
However, while Yandex are the clear better team, they also have to feel fatigued from having to deal with a packed schedule, and it is worth remembering that MOUZ caused them issues at PGL Wallachia Season 9.
Yandex are arguably the best team at BLAST SLAM VIII, but they are not invincible, especially against a team like MOUZ, who can be very volatile and capable of punching up.
- MOUZ caused Yandex issues at PGL Wallachia Season 9

Team Yandex Are Expected to Shine
Team Yandex are expected to shine at BLAST SLAM VIII, as one of the strongest and most in-form Dota 2 teams attending the event.
They have been the most consistent team of the year, having placed lower than top-four in just two events, more recently in April at PGL Wallachia Season 8 (15th-16th).
Since then, Yandex have won BLAST SLAM VII, secured a third-place finish at the Esports World Cup and The International, and won PGL Wallachia Season 9 at the end of September.
With such a packed schedule, Yandex might be fatigued. But that remains the only real concern with this squad, who have otherwise been exceptional.

MOUZ Are Showing Pulse
MOUZ have assembled a new roster, which does not look particularly good on paper. But somehow, even with no clear plan of how they intended to put together this lineup, something is working.
MOUZ are a fun team to watch.
They have a fast-paced style and are not afraid of brawling, which can catch many teams off guard. While dependent on getting a solid draft, MOUZ have been making some noise.
On the other side, this fast style of play has some drawbacks and makes MOUZ a very volatile team that will throw games. Volatility and unpredictability is the name of the game for MOUZ.
