The MongolZ's sloppiness punished by Imperial in Stage 3 opener
Asia's only remaining hope at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, The MongolZ, kicked off their campaign at Stage 3 of the Major with a sloppy performance against Imperial in their opening BO1 game. The MongolZ were slow to get going and dropped numerous man advantage rounds that sees them now drop to the 0-1 bracket and they will look to get on the board later on today, when they get in the server again for their second BO1.
mzinho's crucial quad kill saw The MongolZ kick off their Major campaign on Dust2 with the CT pistol. The Brazilians were on the board instantly as soon as they brought out the guns with skullz opening up a B hit. A 2v4 turn around from chelo and try saw Imperial go on to take the lead early on before a big round from bLitz saw The MongolZ tie up the score at 3-3. With bLitz stepping up, it was The MongolZ finding six on the half before Imperial found two at the very end off the back of a low buy B hit that saw them tie up the score at 6-6.
