Map 1: Inferno; Winner: The MongolZ; Score: 13:10

G2 opened up the match with a pistol round win and imminently lost the following round to a force buy. The MongolZ used this opportunity to build a lead as G2 found themselves in a deficit which they never recovered from. The MongolZ T-side remained methodical and stuck to the book which was enough to close the first half with a 4-8 scoreline.

Disaster followed as The MongolZ shut out G2 in the second pistol round. This caused a massive blow to their comeback expectations as they continued with the map from a significant deficit. G2 managed to win a few rounds, one where Snax clutched a 1v3 but all this went in vain as The MongolZ shut them in the 23 round, winning the game with a 13:10 scoreline.

This result ensures neither qualification nor elimination, G2 will now start their campaign which reduces their room for error while MongolZ has a cushion moving forward.
