The MongolZ falter on cobrazera's debut
It was a debut to forget for cobrazera as The MongolZ were comprehensively beaten by G2 in their opening game at Group A at IEM Kraków 2026. After being blown away on Dust2, The MongolZ showed some fight on Ancient but it wasn't enough as Asia's no.1 squad went down in straight maps and now have dropped to the lower bracket.
G2's pick of Dust2 got things going as G2 started with the T pistol and saw off a scary force buy to go 3-0 up before 910's AWP got going that helped The MongolZ get on the board with a retake on the A site. With hunter- leading from the front, opening up sites with precision, G2 ran away with a dominant T side, going 10-2 up. Despite coming close, The MongolZ failed to put up any T rounds as G2 smashed their way to a 13-2 win.
A full house from 910 and bLitz saw the MongolZ start their pick of Ancient with the T pistol and it was a back and forth affair before SunPayus' AWP found some rhythm and G2 managed to take the lead once again, this time going 7-5 up. Clean shooting from mzinho and bLitz saw The MongolZ lock in both pistols on Ancient and go on to tie up the game and take the lead following a big 910 round with the AWP on the A site in the first gun round of the half. The MongolZ seemed like they would push it to the decider, going 11-7 up but G2 fought back and with a massive triple kill round from huNter- including a big 1v1 clutch to close it out and a 1v2 from SunPayus saw G2 hit map and match point first, which they converted to a 13-11 win to close the series in two.
