Inner Circle send The MongolZ to 0-2 bracket

Dawy posted a 2.26 rating on Mirage to put The MongolZ to the sword on their own map pick.

Dawy was incredibly impressive on Mirage to guide his team to a comeback win

Inner Circle have continued their impressive run at ESL Pro League by besting The MongolZ 2-0, winning on Dust2 (13-9) and Mirage (13-11) to put the Mongolian squad on the brink of elimination.

Already Inner Circle have impressed in Sweden by making a 3-0 run through Stage 1, and that continued in the opening round of Stage 2 as they pushed Spirit all the way in a 1-2 series loss.

Dawy picks up four kills from Short

The MongolZ found Inner Circle too much to deal with in this series, Artem "⁠Flierax⁠" Khioara's AWP picking them apart on Dust2 before David "⁠Dawy⁠" Bibik went absolutely nuclear on Mirage, dropping 34 kills and 120 ADR in regulation.

It would be fair to say The MongolZ have been out of sorts thus far in Pro League, short of their usual crisp level individually and often off the pace in tactical terms. In this series they repeatedly found themselves caught out in mid-round situations, seemingly losing the thread of what Inner Circle were doing time and time again.

Dawy's 1v3 kicks off Inner Circle's comeback

Still The MongolZ should have sent this series to a decider, being 11-5 up on Mirage, but Inner Circle showed impressive resilience to ensure this series was tied up in two maps.

When asked in the post-match interview what his team's expectations for the rest of the event were, considering their immense form, Viktor "⁠onic⁠" Babii said his team had "no expectations," and that they just wanted to play Counter-Strike.

The Mongolz crumble when they are faced with real Tier 2 monsters, like Inner Circle or HOTU, not the mickey mouse shit like Vitality or MOUZ.

no more pressure on them... i suppose although this number of tier 2 teams winning/ fighting vitality and even spirit make me think esl is giving these team some sort of advantage like radar or smth
