The Huns Edge Out Lynn Vision to Stay Alive at StarLadder Budapest Major

At the Stage 1 Swiss bracket of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 (November 24-26 2025, Budapest), the Mongolian squad The Huns kept their tournament hopes alive with a convincing 2–0 win over China’s Lynn Vision (13–7 on Ancient, 13–8 on Dust II) to eliminate the latter. 

Despite entering as the lowest-ranked team in the Major, The Huns capitalised on Lynn Vision’s visibly flat performance and secured a clean sweep. 

Match Recap:

• On Ancient, Lynn Vision struggled to convert even favourable situations—The Huns repeatedly struck back from man-disadvantages and closed the map 13–7.

• On Dust II, Lynn Vision showed some signs of improvement but never regained control; The Huns out-executed them to finish 13–8.

• Mongolian rifler Anarbileg “cobrazera” Uuganbayar stood out with a +5.35 K/D swing (36–21) and a 1.49 rating, underscoring The Huns’ clinical performance.

Context & Implications:
Lynn Vision entered the match after a difficult Day 1 in Budapest, having lost to major European squads such as FaZe Clan and Ninjas in Pyjamas and now fell to 0-2, sealing their exit from the tournament. 

Meanwhile, The Huns bounce back from a rough start—earlier in the event they had lost their opening match to PARIVISION despite leading 6–1 in the first map. 
Their upset win here now keeps them at 1-1, prolonging their stay in the Major and offering a chance to fight for Stage 2 qualification.

Lynn Vision: A Deeper Problem?
Lynn Vision appeared listless on camera, and their inability to convert pressure situations was a recurring issue in both maps. The match raises questions about their trajectory moving forward — having endured a poor season and now faltering at the Major, this lineup faces a challenging road ahead. 

What’s Next:
With this win, The Huns move into the 1-1 pool of the Swiss bracket, where a win could carry them into the 2-0 pool and bring them within reach of Stage 2. Meanwhile, Lynn Vision’s elimination ends their Major run abruptly — they must regroup ahead of the next cycle. The larger Stage 1 bracket will now see more elimination pressure as teams begin to carve out their paths. 

In short: The Huns defied their status to secure a major upset, while Lynn Vision’s dream run shattered.
