On Mirage, The MongolZ came out swinging with a dominant CT side, taking a 7–5 half and then locking down the map with a flawless 6–0 T-side finish. The synergy between Techno and Senzu was on full display, with both players topping the scoreboard.
Anubis saw more of the same. A blazing 10–2 CT start gave The MongolZ all the cushion they needed to close out the map 13–6. Despite MIBR showing some signs of life in the second half, the gap was too wide to overcome.
