Senzu shined in the match between The Mongolz and G2


The MongolZ started their Qualifying campaign impressively, defeating G2 13-10, putting them in the 1-0 group. They will travel with Natus Vincere, who won against Liquid after a slow start in their opening match.

This victory came after The MongolZ qualified for the top 16 with a perfect run in the Opening Round of Major Perfect World Shanghai. The Mongolian team dominated Rare Atom, MIBR and GamerLegion to achieve a 3-0 record without much trouble.

In the best-of-one match against G2, Munkhbold "⁠Senzu⁠" Azbayar topped the rankings for The MongolZ, while Ayush "⁠mzinho⁠" Batbold also played a key role in winning Win two 2v5 situations, helping the home team take an early lead on the Inferno map.

Excellent plays like Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač's quad-kill (four consecutive kills) and Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski's 1v3 situation helped G2 close the gap, but the economy was weak. The T-side's weakness did not help them fight back. The MongolZ continued to advance and won 13-10, maintaining their undefeated streak at the Major.

In the other opening match of the Qualifiers, Natus Vincere faced Liquid. Although Liquid started off strong on the offensive side, Ihor "⁠w0nderful⁠" Zhdanov's excellent first half made things difficult for them.

Liquid entered the CT-side with a 7-5 advantage, but Russell "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken's team had difficulty countering Natus Vincere's tight attack strategy, winning only three more rounds before NAVI recovered and closed the match on the Nuke map with a score of 13-10.
