Confident performance of the whole team
MongolZ go to the bottom of the bracket
The MongolZ , despite their good efforts, failed to overcome Vitality and will now fight for survival in the lower bracket. In this match, the team showed potential, but they lacked stability and confidence in key moments of the game, which led to their defeat. Blitz became the best player of his team, but it was not enough to win.
