paiN started The MongolZ's map pick of Mirage with five straight on their defensive half with nqz's AWP having a big round on the B site but that was all for the Brazilians team. The MongolZ closed their T side with seven consecutive rounds to take a two round lead at the break. A flawless CT half saw The MongolZ close their pick at 13-5 on the back of 13 straight rounds.

paiN started their pick of Anubis with the CT pistol but a triple from mzinho on the force buy saw The MongolZ answer back with 9 in a row before paiN pulled two more rounds back. paiN picked up both pistols on Anubis but a Senzu 1v2 put The MongolZ on way to a 13-5 win to lock in a dominant 2-0 series win.

The MongolZ's win sees them not only just make a Major final but also become the first-ever Asian team to make the finals of a Counter-Strike Major final and now they will take on Vitality in the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 final.
