IEM Chengdu 2025FURIA cruise past The MongolZ into semi-finals
Outside of pistol rounds, FURIA enjoyed a relatively easy day at the office against The MongolZ.
FURIA have booked their place in the semi-finals at IEM Chengdu thanks to a 2-0 win over The MongolZ, bagging wins on Mirage (13-5) and Overpass (13-10).
The MongolZ had impressed at IEM Chengdu up to this point, Unudelger "controlez" Baasanjargal slotting in suprisingly well to allow the Mongolian side to exceed expectations in their first outing without Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold.
In this series, however, The MongolZ ran out of surprises. In both maps their only real success came off the back of pistol round wins and they found themselves thoroughly outclassed by FURIA in gun rounds.
On Mirage FURIA's mid-centric approach to the CT side ensured full map control, which The MongolZ couldn't find an answer to. When the sides switched FURIA won their T-side pistol round, leading to an easy victory.
Overpass saw The MongolZ put up a better fight in the second half, after their offense had been comfortably outplayed. It initially seemed the map would end the same way as Mirage, The MongolZ winning and converting the pistol only to slip to a meek defeat, but Usukhbayar "910" Banzragch and Sodbayar "Techno" Munkhbold combined to turn a 3v4 and kickstart a comeback.
Ultimately Danil "molodoy" Golubenko was the man to have the last laugh, the young phenom picking up the AWP at 11-10 to shut the game down with an ace before clutching up the final round, sending FURIA into the semi-finals.
