TheMongolz and Lynn Vision one win away from PGL Major

The Mongolians dominated the opening day, losing just eight rounds in two matches so far in Shanghai.

Day one at the Asia RMR taking place in Shanghai, China, has concluded with The MongolZ and Lynn Vision making their way through the upper bracket to earn themselves two chances to qualify for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen.

The day began with the four favorites of the RMR passing the opening best-of-one round facing an underdog each. Only TYLOO faced real resistance as they had to come back from down 7-11 on Nuke against JiJieHao to advance in the upper bracket, while The MongolZ, Grayhound, and Lynn Vision limited their opponents to just a few rounds.

The MongolZ then took down Grayhound with ease in the first upper bracket semi-final, limiting the Aussie side to just four rounds on Ancient, a map where Grayhound had amassed an 8-0 record following Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's return.

Hoping to take their long-time rivals Lynn Vision off-guard, TYLOO opted to play Ancient for the first time in six months but couldn't break their losing streak against their compatriots. From down 1-6 Lizhi "⁠Starry⁠" Ye and company went on a 12-round run to secure their place in the upper final.
