The IEM Dallas 2025 Semi-Finals have come to an end, with a result I’m sure we pretty much all predicted coming into the matches. MOUZ beat The MongolZ to kick off the day, while Vitality extended their winning run to 29 against a Falcons side who came agonizingly close to ending their losing streak against the team. Let’s see how it went down.

If you were still of the opinion that MOUZ are Group Stage merchants, think again. They were able to brush aside The MongolZ with relative ease, taking a 2:0 series to silence a less-than-adoring IEM Dallas crowd. They handled the pressure well, in fairness.
On the day, it was a massive team effort, although it was torzsi who led the way in the fragging department. He just continues to impress – a player that grows in stature with each game, showing why MOUZ have flourished into one of the best CS2 teams in the world with him on the AWP. If they’re to win IEM Dallas, he needs to show up tomorrow.
Vitality win – again

We all pretty much saw this one coming, didn’t we? Vitality saw out a 2:1 win over Falcons. Winners again, yes, now on a 29-win streak in total. However, they did look pretty mortal in this one, which will give hope to MOUZ as they move into the Grand Final.
Regardless, Vitality will have better days in the future, and they’ll be glad that Falcons were unable to punish their rough showing. Sometimes, it’s not about how you win, but whether you do at all.
