FURIA seal playoff berth over The MongolZ

18-7-2024 20:49

The Mongolians were punished for allowing the Brazilians to steer the veto to Nuke.

KSCERATO was in fine form against The MongolZ

FURIA have secured a playoff spot at Esports World Cup thanks to a 13-9 victory over The MongolZ on Nuke.

Having been sent down to the Last Chance bracket thanks to a loss to Natus Vincere, FURIA kept their tournament dreams alive by beating FlyQuest, Sashi and The MongolZ to bag the final playoff berth on offer.

The Brazilians can now look forward to a quarter-final matchup against MOUZ, whilst The MongolZ are sent packing from the tournament.

All signs pointed to a The MongolZ victory before the game, as they have beaten FURIA in their previous two meetings and are on an upward trajectory after a strong finish to the first season of the year.

The analyst desk sounded warning claxons, however, after the veto was steered towards Nuke, a map FURIA have already played multiple times in Riyadh. The Brazilians took this advantage and ran with it, kicking Nuke off by posting a powerful T side driven by the fragging of Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato.

The MongolZ showed glimpses of a potential comeback at the start of their own T side, but when Felipe "⁠skullz⁠" Medeiros denied a near-3v5 by the Mongolians by preventing the bomb going down, FURIA took back control. skullz popped up with another potent play towards the end of the map, this time a multi-kill hold of Hut, to help seal the deal.

Yeah, BO1 elimination games just seem like an odd choice... I rate in a BO3, it would've went to 3 maps.

rigged by botzil cause they can't win bo3's

First victory we ever had over Mongolz, though... much respect for this really strong team.

Cool, I confess I wasn't expecting it, now it's time to have at least a good match tomorrow, GG :D

I don't know why The Mongolz accepted Nuke. Furia played in this map against NAVI, Flyquest and Sashi in the last 24 hours. It is so far the most comfortable map for Furia to play. If was Inferno, the scenario could be different.

2024-07-18 21:03

+1 inferno would be gg

2024-07-18 21:54

i dont understand this furia team at all, they look actually structured and organized but at the same time they look so weirdly bad individually sometimes. hopefully skullz can give them some consistency but i really have my doubts

2024-07-18 21:06

We Brazilian never give up, we make history again, trust me...

guerri gets out and furia is instantly in their first relevant tier s playoffs since the rio major (which guerri wasnt in the team at the time)

It just scares me lol

He was clearly the problem. I can't imagine how much internal effort it takes to kick a coach who is a co-owner of an org... people inside REALLY knew he was the freaking problem to go to such lengths.
