The Mongolians are the highest-ranked team in attendance, 12th in the world, but were not guaranteed to make playoffs after two defeats in the group stage at the hands of BLEED and PARIVISION.
They also came close to an embarrassing upset to True Rippers in their opening bout after going down 11-6 before a lengthy technical pause allowed them to reset and defeat the Indian squad 13-11.
That comeback spirit was needed again in the playoffs despite a comfortable map one victory as AMKAL were running away with proceedings on Mirage.
But with Ayush "mzinho" Batbold on fire, the comeback was completed on the CT side as The MongolZ once again turned it on when required.

The second semi-final pitted 3DMAX against ENCE, and kicked off with the French side dominating Dust2.
Lucas "Lucky" Chastang was in fine form with 20 frags and 114 ADR, as the 13-5 win was confirmed with a 6-0 T half for 3DMAX.
Map two, 3DMAX's pick of Ancient, was far closer on paper with a 6-6 first half and the teams reaching 10-10 and 11-11 scorelines.
In the end, however, 3DMAX's dominance was clear in the gun rounds – ENCE won both pistols — and ENCE continued their dire second half form by picking up just two more rounds after leading 9-6.
