MOUZ and Team Spirit advanced to the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne finals by earning semifinal wins on Saturday in Germany.

When the two powerhouses meet in Sunday’s best-of-five final, a $400,000 first prize will be on the line. The loser will settle for $180,000.

MOUZ rolled into the finals over Team Vitality with a 13-9 win on Mirage and a 13-8 win on Train. Hungary’s Adam “torzsi” Torzsas led the way for MOUZ with 40 kills and a +21 kills-to-deaths differential. Dorian “xertioN” Berman of Israel also racked up 40 kills.

Team Spirit had a tougher route to the finals. Team Spirit opened with a 13-11 victory over Natus Vincere on Mirage, but NAVI answered with a 13-9 win on Nuke. Team Spirit closed out the match with a 13-6 win on Ancient.

The Russian tag-team of Danil “donk” Kryshkovets and Dmitry “sh1ro” Sokolov dominated for Team Spirit. Kryshkovets piled up a match-best 58 kills while Sokolov notched 54. Both finished with a +16 differential.

When the finalists met during the group stage of this $1 million tournament earlier in the week, Team Spirit earned a 2-1 victory over MOUZ.
