The MongolZ — one step away from history. The Asian team continues to impress at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, confidently defeating paiN in the semifinals and securing their spot in the grand final of the tournament. This will be a historic showdown — The MongolZ will become the youngest team ever to play in a Major final. After a rough start in the earlier stages, they’ve looked stronger with each match — and now stand just one win away from their dream championship.
No chance for the Brazilians: The MongolZ march confidently toward the title
In the quarterfinal clash, The MongolZ gave paiN no chances. Despite a strong start on Mirage, where the Brazilians won the first five rounds, those were their only successes — The MongolZ took 13 rounds in a row and closed the map 13–5.
On Anubis, The MongolZ’s pick, the script repeated itself: total domination and another confident 13–5 win. paiN couldn’t put up a fight on the T side, losing most key duels and failing to execute any successful bombsite take. The Mongols played coordinated and aggressive, leaving no room for a comeback. It was The MongolZ’s most convincing performance of the tournament — and it came right in the playoffs.
The standout players of the match were mzinho with 28 kills and 910, who posted a 1.52 rating. In the final, the Asian squad will face Vitality, aiming to get revenge for past defeats and become champions of BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
Pressure, drama, and a breakthrough to the final
The MongolZ had a tough road to the playoffs, finishing the third stage with a 3–2 record. Their run began with both wins and losses, but the team managed to pull themselves together at the crucial moments. They played a series of tense matches against experienced opponents, where every map could have been their last. Thanks to solid teamwork, consistency from their key players, and confident individual performances, The MongolZ earned their playoff spot, proving they can compete at the highest level.
For paiN, this tournament was also a real test. In the quarterfinals, the Brazilians pulled off a hard-fought 2–1 victory over FURIA, showcasing their grit and strength. However, in the semifinals, they couldn’t stop The MongolZ’s momentum and are now forced to say goodbye to the Major.
The final will be a true challenge for The MongolZ — up next is a clash with Team Vitality, a team that has knocked them out of major events before. But this time feels different: The MongolZ are in peak form, full of confidence and fan support. Whether they can finish this fairytale run with a victory — we’ll find out very soon.
