The MongolZ Advance to FPG2 Playoffs After 2‑1 Win Over FaZe

The MongolZ bounced back from a shaky start at FISSURE Playground 2 to secure a spot in the playoffs by defeating FaZe 2‑1. They dropped Inferno 13‑16, but edged out wins on Mirage (13‑11) and then dominated on Ancient (13‑5). 

While FaZe opened their tournament with confidence, their momentum faltered when it counted. In contrast, The MongolZ have steadily improved with each match, despite a disappointing opener.

FaZe will be particularly disappointed with Mirage, where they had a chance to take over from The MongolZ during their T side, but were unable to fully close the gap. Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold was a standout for The MongolZ in that map, especially in the first half. 

Inferno was close throughout; FaZe tried to mount a comeback but lost control in key moments, especially when they failed to capitalize on man-advantage situations. Helvijs “broky” Saukants pulled some key clutches to keep FaZe alive in the series. 

However, on Ancient, The MongolZ looked in total control. Their execution, teamwork, and confidence were evident, with Senzu again shining.
