Monte eliminate TheMongolz from the Paris Major
The majority-Ukrainian side now sport a 15-map win streak on Anubis.
Monte have defeated The MongolZ at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage (Nuke 16-13, Anubis 16-12), and now sit with a 2-2 record going into the final day of play. Mohammad "BOROS" Malhas was the star against the Mongolian team, putting up 106 ADR and a 1.47 rating in the series.
On the other side of the server, The MongolZ exit the tournament with a 1-3 record, equalling their IEM Rio Major performance. They will no doubt be left to rue the two close losses against Monte, with Sodbayar "Techno" Munkhbold expressing his disappointment in his team not being able to improve on their previous Major appearance in the post-match interview.

The series started on Nuke, a pick The MongolZ were forced into given that Monte permaban the Mongolian's usual map pick of Inferno. The first half didn't go to plan for The MongolZ as they put up just four rounds on the board, but the defensive half was much more assured.
A couple of multi-kills by Techno got them within two rounds of their opponents, but they were never able to put their economy in a good enough situation to withstand consecutive round losses, which cost them the map in the end. Sergiy "DemQQ" Demchenko provided an unlikely source of firepower for his team, getting his team over the line with 32 kills.
Anubis was another close map, and it was Monte who closed out a close map once again. The teams couldn't be separated during most of the game until Volodymyr "Woro2k" Veletniuk provided the map-winning play, securing a 1vs4 when his team were on a full eco to stop The MongolZ's streak, and put his team 14-11 up. That highlight was enough for the majority-Ukrainian side to close out the map 16-12 and extend their map streak on the map to 15.
Monte now move on to the 2-2 pool on Thursday, with their matchup being decided at the end of the day. It will be do-or-die for them, as a win will qualify them to the Legends Stage, while a loss will relegate them from Paris.
