The MongolZ have achieved what many thought impossible — their first-ever series victory over MOUZ, and they did it in dominant fashion. A convincing 2-0 sweep at BLAST Open Rotterdam on March 19 ended a five-series losing streak against the European powerhouse dating back to late 2024.
Dominant Performance
- Nuke: The MongolZ 13-11 MOUZ — A tight affair where key clutch plays from cobrazera proved decisive
- Inferno: The MongolZ 13-3 MOUZ — A complete demolition that left the European squad stunned
The Inferno result was particularly devastating for MOUZ, who had picked the map themselves. The MongolZ allowed just three rounds in what became a statement performance about their growing strength on the international stage.
Techno's Career-Best Game
Techno was the undeniable star of the series with a monstrous 42-24 K/D and a 1.73 overall rating. His Inferno performance — a 2.30 rating with 105.9 ADR — ranks as the best single-map LAN performance of his career.
He was far from alone. 910 posted a 1.44 rating with an incredible 95.0% KAST, while cobrazera contributed a 1.41 rating with crucial multi-kills on Nuke that swung key rounds.
MOUZ in Freefall
For MOUZ, this result represents a troubling continuation of their post-EPL struggles. Only Spinx managed a positive rating (0.92), while xertioN, Brollan, Jimpphat, and torzsi all posted sub-0.80 numbers. On Inferno, only one MOUZ player reached double-digit kills — a historically poor showing for a team of this caliber.
What This Means
The MongolZ's victory cements their status as legitimate contenders on the international stage. Having gone 0-5 against MOUZ without winning a single map previously, this 2-0 sweep represents a dramatic shift in the power dynamic between these two teams. With the Cologne Major qualification race heating up, The MongolZ are sending a clear message: they belong at the top table.
