Esports World Cup 2025The MongolZ sweep Aurora to claim EWC 2025
The Mongolian squad prevailed in the single-elimination bracket to win their first Big Event.
The MongolZ are the EWC 2025 champions after sweeping Aurora 3-0 in the grand final, adding the Turkish team's scalp to their belt after also beating GamerLegion, 3DMAX, and Vitality in the single-elimination bracket.
The series kicked off on The MongolZ’s Mirage pick, and it was an electric showing from both teams out of the gate. Aurora’s stars were playing their best, with Ismailcan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş fragging out and Özgür "woxic" Eker turning incredible clutches.
On the other hand, The MongolZ squeezed some forcebuy wins and kept it close enough to force overtime in the last round of regulation, after which they went on to take it in the 30th.
After a crucial opportunity for Aurora to steal The MongolZ’s first pick, it was the Mongolians who had the chance to do the same on Dust2, and they were not as forgiving. They read Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli’s attacks on the way to a 7-5 half despite starting down 0-3.
A beautiful Desert Eagle quad-kill by Ali "Wicadia" Haydar Yalçın briefly put wind into Aurora’s sails, but not enough to turn the tide of the map, which The MongolZ took 13-9.
The MongolZ won the first pistol round on Nuke and could have run away with it early, but MAJ3R turned a Zeus kill into a triple in an eco and gave The MongolZ something to hold on to. Hope vanished as quick as it came, however, as The MongolZ dominated and Usukhbayar "910" Banzragch got a fantastic 1vs3 with the AWP to add insult to injury.
Aurora won the second pistol round on the attack, but were crushed by a Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold triple with the Desert Eagle the following round, all but making it a matter of time before the Mongolian team closed out the series in three, 13-4, to lift the trophy.
