MOUZ vs NRG Prediction and Picks: StarSeries Fall, Thursday 6:00 AM ET

Prices were taken Tuesday morning ET and move right up to lock. The WIRE logs every move on both exchanges as it happens.

The game

Mousesports open StarLadder StarSeries Fall against NRG at 6:00 AM ET, best of three. The market has MOUZ at 87 cents, about 85 once the cost of trading comes out. We make them 80.2 percent. Still a heavy favorite, five points under the price.

How the series is likely to go

A MOUZ sweep is the single most likely outcome at 51 percent. Add their 2-1 at 29 and MOUZ win the series four times in five. The number worth sitting with is the other one: NRG take at least one map 49 percent of the time, and the series reaches a third map in 41. A heavy favorite on the series is close to a coin flip on whether it stays clean.

Players

Mousesports carry four players at 88 or better, which no other team on the slate does. Spinx leads at 94 and tops the board in this game about a quarter of the time. PR (91), xertioN (90) and torzsi (90, AWP) sit behind him, with xelex at 88. Their shares are tight: PR at 16 percent, xertioN and torzsi at 14 each.

NRG run through Grim at 89. He tops the board 12 percent of the time, which is higher than three of the five MOUZ players despite his team being the underdog. Sonic is next at 84 and 5 percent. hallzerk holds the AWP at 79, with Jeorge and nitr0 (IGL) behind.

The read

The side is priced about right and the shape is where the information is. If you want a MOUZ position, the series is safer than the sweep. If you want NRG, their realistic route is taking a map, not the series.
