FISSURE Playground 23DMAX upset The MongolZ at FISSURE Playground
3DMAX exposed a sluggish performance by The MongolZ.
3DMAX have kicked off their FISSURE Playground 2 campaign with a memorable upset win over The MongolZ, besting the Mongolian squad on Inferno (13-10) and Nuke (13-9) either side of a loss on Ancient (5-13).
The broadcast repeatedly mentioned that The MongolZ have said they have not practiced ahead of FISSURE Playground 2, and a certain level of ring-rust was apparent in their play across the series.
The MongolZ started slowly on Inferno, recovering with a strong start to their T side, only to then squander a 10-8 lead as Bryan "Maka" Canda came alive.
The Mongolian side spanked 3DMAX on Ancient with ease, seeming to right the ship, but a strugglesome CT side on Nuke allowed 3DMAX to clinch an upset win to kick off their run in Belgrade.
Maka freed from the shackles of in-game leadership
3DMAX recently switched the IGL role to Filip "Graviti" Brankovic, and it hasn't seemed to affect their tactical approach thus far whilst freeing Maka up to focus on fragging.
The change bore fruit today most certainly as the French AWPer was vital to both map victories for his team, hard-carrying Inferno before posting the most ADR on his team on Nuke.
