Map 1: Mirage; Winner: Mongolz; Score: 13
MOUZ got off to a 4-0 start as Mongolz T side couldn’t find a solution early on in the game. A pace change from the Asian side in the 5th round saw them post the first round on the board which eventually led them to a string of a few rounds as the half concluded 5-7 favoring Mongolz.
While MongolZ managed to win the pistol round and go 10-5 up off the back of it, Mouz responded with a string of rounds of their own to reach the map point before them. With backs against the wall, Mongolz won the remaining two rounds and pushed the game to overtime.
MongolZ carried their hot hands into overtime as MOUZ couldn’t find its footing. Having managed only a single round, MOUZ got dominated as they had no answer to whatever the Asian side threw at them. With a 16-13 scoreline, MongolZ is just a win away from qualifying for the next stage.
