Head-to-Head
FUT hold the edge, but the sample is small. In 2026, the two teams have met twice, and FUT won both series. On maps, FUT lead 4 to 1, and two of these five maps went to overtime.
Both series took place at Esports World Cup 2026. On August 14, the result was FUT 2:1 MOUZ. A week later, on August 21, it was FUT 2:0 MOUZ.
Map Pool & Veto
Win rate over the past 3 months (FUT | MOUZ):
- Cache: 67% (3 maps) | 44% (9 maps)
- Dust2: 50% (8 maps) | 62% (13 maps)
- Mirage: 80% (5 maps) | 85% (20 maps)
- Inferno: 0 maps | 73% (11 maps)
- Nuke: 43% (7 maps) | 71% (14 maps)
- Ancient: 56% (9 maps) | 55% (11 maps)
- Anubis: 60% (5 maps) | 0 maps
Expected veto: FUT will almost certainly ban Inferno and Nuke, where MOUZ win 73% over 11 maps and 71% over 14 maps. In return, MOUZ have a clear reason to ban Anubis, where FUT hold 60% and MOUZ have played none. In addition, MOUZ are likely to remove Cache, where FUT win 67%, although only over three maps.
After those bans, FUT can pick Ancient, where they hold 56% against MOUZ’s 55%. Meanwhile, MOUZ can answer with Mirage, where they win 85% over a huge 20-map sample against FUT’s 80% over five. Therefore, Dust2 looks like the most likely decider, with 62% for MOUZ and 50% for FUT.
VRS forecast: FUT currently have 1667 points and sit 10th. With a win, they would reach 1731 points and stay 10th. With a loss, they would drop to 1662 points, but they would still stay 10th.
MOUZ have 1964 points and sit 1st. With a win, they would reach 1967 points and stay 1st. However, with a loss, they would drop to 1940 points, but they would still stay 1st.
Prediction
FUT have real arguments. They won both series against MOUZ in 2026, and SunPayus leads Spinx in rating, deaths per round and round swing. In addition, Ancient and Mirage give them two playable map options.
Still, MOUZ look like the better side here. They rank first in the VRS, and they come in on much better recent form. Moreover, MOUZ have large samples and strong numbers on Mirage, Inferno and Nuke. However, FUT’s two wins over this opponent mean this series should be close.
If MOUZ ban Anubis and Cache and win Mirage, they can take control of the series. Meanwhile, FUT will need Ancient or Dust2 and a strong SunPayus to pull off the upset.
Projected result: MOUZ 2:1 FUT
