In a thrilling culmination of the IEM Dallas 2023 tournament, the Grand Final is set to showcase an epic showdown between two formidable CS:GO teams, ENCE and MOUZ. Both squads have defied expectations and overcome formidable challenges to reach this stage, captivating fans with their exceptional performances.

MOUZ, previously considered down and out after a lackluster showing in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, has surged back to life under the guidance of IGL Christopher "dexter" Nong. With a career-best performance, the Australian leader has propelled his team forward, emerging as a strong contender for the tournament's Most Valuable Player. MOUZ's journey to the Playoffs was no easy feat, conquering FURIA and OG without dropping a single map. Its dominant form continued as it triumphed over Astralis and Heroic, securing a place in the Grand Final and standing on the verge of a historic victory in their first-ever S-Tier tournament win.

On the other side of the stage, ENCE is prepared to write its own chapter of redemption. Having experienced a disappointing run at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, ENCE displayed remarkable resilience and determination throughout the IEM Dallas 2023 tournament. Its Group Stage run was smooth sailing, dispatching Complexity and FaZe with conviction. In a Semifinal clash against Astralis, ENCE showcased its mental fortitude and ability to seize opportunities, culminating in an unforgettable match on Ancient that pushed both teams to their limits. Despite facing a three-round deficit in overtime, ENCE rallied back and emerged triumphant with an impressive 31:28 scoreline.

As the Grand Final looms, anticipation runs high for an unforgettable clash between MOUZ and ENCE. While MOUZ aims to make history by clinching their first S-Tier tournament victory, ENCE seeks to build on its impressive runner-up performance in IEM Dallas 2022. Both teams have demonstrated moments of brilliance and resilience, captivating audiences with their skill and tactical prowess.
