The quote
"We had good practice in our country, that's why. [They thought] 'It's a bad team, 5star is easy for us,' but we just smashed them."
Rate admitted he didn't expect the outcome either: "Actually, we didn't expect it. We played our game and The MongolZ and Astralis, we really surprised them and that's it."
The upsets
- 5star 2-0 The MongolZ (HLTV #14) — first-ever Mongolian derby result
- 5star 2-1 Astralis (HLTV #12)
These were the two biggest upsets of the entire tournament — though 5star ultimately fell to G2 in the lower bracket final and missed the playoffs.
