MOUZ eked out a 2-1 win over paiN Gaming as play got underway Wednesday in the BLAST Rivals Spring event at Copenhagen, Denmark.

Joining MOUZ in logging an opening-match victory in Group A was Team Vitality, who beat Wildcard 2-0.

In Group B, Team Spirit swept FlyQuest 2-0 and Team Falcons downed FaZe Clan 2-0.

The eight-team, $350,000 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament is beginning with the teams split into two double-elimination groups.

The winners of each group will move to the playoff semifinals. The group runners-up will head to the quarterfinals as high seeds, and the third-place teams will land in the quarterfinals as low seeds. The fourth-place teams in each group will be eliminated.

The single-elimination playoffs run Friday through Sunday. All group-stage matches and playoff matches are best-of-three except for the grand final, which will be best-of-five. The champion team will receive $125,000, and the runner-up will get $75,000.
