The MongolZ wrap up PGL Bucharest 2026 campaign in third place
The MongolZ have confirmed a third-place finish at the PGL Bucharest 2026 after picking up a convincing win against 3DMAX in their third-place decider game. The MongolZ were barely made to sweat as they eased to a 2-0 win against a sloppy French squad. The MongolZ had come into the tournament as a favourite for the title but a disappointing performance against FUT saw them fail to get in the fight for the trophy but they do leave Romania with the bronze medal.
Inferno started with a misutaa quad kill to hand 3DMAX the T side pistol but the force buy from The MongolZ saw them answer back instantly thanks to a triple kill from cobrazera's Five-Seven. A back and forth affair kept the scores closed before a 910 and Techno full-house and a multi-kill from mzinho helped The MongolZ take a 8-4 lead. The French team picked up both pistols but failed to convert off it as five in a row from The MongolZ saw them ease to a 13-5 win with Techno starring with a 20 kill performance.

Moving to Ancient, their own map pick, The MongolZ picked up their first pistol of the series on the back of an A hit to go 4-0 up before a retake on the B site by Lucky and Ex3rcice got 3DMAX on the board. Barring that and a triple kill round from Lucky there was nothing else 3DMAX found on their CT half saw The MongolZ went 10-2 up at the half. A sneaky bLitz backstab from A main saw The MongolZ lock in both pistols on their map pick and that was the final nail in the coffin for 3DMAX as The MongolZ strolled to a 13-2 win with bLitz closing out the map with a knife kill.
