The MongolZ outlast MOUZ in OT to join 2-0 pool

Spirit beat Wildcard to recover from an opening loss on the B stream.

The MongolZ now have a 12-match win streak

The MongolZ became the second name to join the 2-0 pool after an overtime win against MOUZ on Mirage, while Spirit sent Wildcard down to their last tournament life in Shanghai.

The 1-0 match between MOUZ and The MongolZ delivered in spades, as neither team could secure the victory in regulation. The Mongolian squad recovered from a slow start to take a 10-5 lead but was unable to close it out and even needed Sodbayar “⁠Techno⁠” Munkhbold’s 1v2 clutch to stay alive and bring the game back to OT.

In added time, however, The MongolZ shifted into a higher gear and took four out of five rounds to move themselves just one map away from the Major playoffs.

On the B stream, Spirit put their Major campaign back on track with a comfortable 13-6 victory against Wildcard on Ancient.

While the first half was a cagey affair that went the way of Danil “⁠donk⁠” Kryshkovets and company (7-5), Wildcard didn’t show enough on the CT side to hold on in the game and thus joined the 0-2 pool after the first day of action.

The Elimination Stage current standings are as follows:
