The Mongols will play in the playoffs of a major event for the first time. Until now, The MongolZ has occasionally upset top teams, but it was not enough to get out of the group stages. At ESL Pro League Season 19, the team beat Team Falcons (2:1) and G2 Esports (2:0).

In Group B, all of The MongolZ players performed well on the server. No one has a negative HLTV rating, and Techno, 910 and mzihno shone in individual encounters. The latter recently turned sixteen, and maybe he will attract attention from top European teams in the future. In Malta, the Mongolians were excellent at Ancient, on which they ended two sensational series in their favour. But they have a lot of practice in recent months, and besides this card, they are confident in Anubis and Inferno. The MongolZ can be dangerous on the attack, with 58% for the T-side, and also plays pistol rounds (10-4, 71%) at an elite level.

In 2024, The MongolZ dominates inside the Asian region, leaving Lynn Vision and TYLOO no chance. The MongolZ has boasted minor successes against top-20 HLTV teams in the past few years, but never dreamed of the playoffs. The team has already guaranteed themselves a top-12 spot, something they hardly dreamed of before the start of ESL Pro League Season 19. But there is no pressure on the Mongols, and they can pull off another surprise.

The Bears have already had a taste of the ESL Pro League Season 19 playoffs. Virtus.pro played a lot of matches in Group A and rested for a week before the playoffs, so the team had a lot of time to integrate electroNic into their schemes and establish server interaction. The Legionaries caused difficulties on both Anubis and Mirage in the first playoff match, but the Russian team showed their ability to cambeck twice. Will the series with the Mongols be easier?

Virtus.pro's electroNic was the best player of the match against GamerLegion. Denis was lucky to play on personal signature cards, where he reads all the positions and knows what to do. FL1T came to the tournament in good shape, the Bears are dependent on his play. In the renewed lineup Virtus.pro is worse in minority situations (26%), less successful in pistol rounds (12-14), and usually it was always at the top in grenade realisation, but now they can't boast high numbers.

With a lot of individual talent and experience concentrated in Virtus.pro, electroNic's move to the team could pay off in the long run. But no one expects feats from the Bears in Malta - at ESL Pro League Season 19 they are training against different opponents and adapting to a new player. The match against the Mongols will be a tough one.

The MongolZ surprised everyone, but made the playoffs deservedly. But Virtus.pro players have a lot of experience playing at such stages behind them, and each of them is among the best at their positions in CS2. The Bears are experiencing problems, but they're not so global that they'll allow The MongolZ to make another upsets. But not so insignificant either, so The MongolZ will try to hang on for the win on every map.
