MOUZ and Natus Vincere face off in a crucial lower bracket match at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 following opening losses.

Both teams suffered shock defeats in the first round of action, but more so MOUZ, who lost against one of the tournament’s lowest-rated teams, NRG. Meanwhile, Natus Vincere couldn't keep up with Aurora Gaming, suffering another loss in a long stretch of questionable results.
While neither team impressed on the opening day of play, it is not hard to view MOUZ as the more likely winners in this contest. They’ve beaten Natus Vincere twice this season and have shown strong form in recent months, proving themselves as one of the main title contenders in Spain.
- MOUZ have beaten Natus Vincere twice before this season
- Natus Vincere are in iffy form
- MOUZ should be favoured to win

MOUZ Looking for a Bounce Back
MOUZ suffered a bad loss in the first round of StarLadder StarSeries, when they had to admit defeat to NRG. It was one of the biggest upsets in recent months, and a result that has put a question mark over MOUZ and their level of readiness for this event.
MOUZ started that series poorly, and lost Cache 11-13. They bounced back with a 13-5 win on Inferno, but again failed to keep up with the North American squad on Dust II, losing the decider 10-13.
It was MOUZ’s worst defeat in months, and not a result anyone expected to see, especially after what MOUZ have produced in recent months, with deep tournament runs at BLAST Open Fall, Esports World Cup, and BLAST Bounty Summer.
MOUZ entered StarLadder StarSeries as one of the main tournament favourites, and despite that defeat, they remain a team that can make a run for the trophy.

Natus Vincere With a Tough Task Ahead
Natus Vincere did not have the best start to StarLadder StarSeries Fall, and that is saying it lightly. They kicked off the tournament with a 0-2 loss against Aurora Gaming, who outperformed NaVi with 13-8 on Nuke and 13-7 on Mirage, handing Natus Vincere another crushing defeat.
Even before that loss, Natus Vincere have been showing some cracks. They were not particularly impressive in their last three tournament appearances, suffering early eliminations from BLAST Open Fall, Esports World Cup, and IEM Cologne Major.
Over that stretch, they’ve produced more questionable games, notably the 1-2 loss against M80, a close 2-1 victory against The MongolZ, and another close win against 3DMAX.
NaVi’s form hasn’t been great for a while, and it seems unlikely for that to change anytime soon.

Verdict
MOUZ have suffered a bad loss in the first round of play, but that one bad game does not take away from what they’ve produced over the last couple of months. MOUZ are one of the top-performing CS2 teams in the world, and should be favoured to make a deep run in StarLadder StarSeries Fall, even though they’ll have to do it via the lower bracket.
Natus Vincere’s form has been lacking for a while now, and given their lack of success against stronger teams such as G2 Esports, Legacy, Team Falcons, and Team Spirit, it seems unlikely for them to cook up an upset on Friday.
