The MongolZ lift the MESA Nomadic Masters trophy

Earlier today, TheMongolZ lifted the MESA Nomadic Masters trophy on home soil, following an action packed Grand-Finals against BLEED.

Their impressive run started against Gaimin Gladiators with a comfortable win to kick off the event on a good note. With their fans cheering, the MongolZ made the best of it against Aurora and later BLEED in the upper bracket final.

Although Aleksandar 'kassad' Trifunović’s men got a chance for redemption. Yet, the Mongolians were a tough nut to crack. In fact, it took all 24 rounds to close out the maps.

Anubis, BLEED’s playground kicked off strong with five consecutive rounds on the CT side. Since Hampus “hampus” Poser and co played it 28 times, winning 18, their fate was sealed on the map. Moreover, their dominance on the defense netted them a 8-4 scoreline.

The second half saw an absence from the MongolZ with a timid map control and overall impact. For that, BLEED managed to secure the map point. And despite attempting a comeback, and winning four rounds, it wasn’t enough as BLEED avoided choking.

On Mirage, the MongolZ map pick, Usukhbayar "910" Banzragch with a spectacular performance carried his team into tying the overall score at 1-1.

BLEED hit the ground running early with five rounds, before the Mongolian soldiers hit back with seven rounds to give them the advantage in the first half.

At this point, BLEED figured out the equation to pistol rounds, having won all in the first two maps. Yet, “910” with an incredible 81.8%, gave his team the upperhand in the series.

The remaining two maps, Ancient and Inferno followed the same script. Actually, the whole series followed a pattern. Nonetheless, the MongolZ rose up to the occasion with a 13-11 scoreline, denying the overtime on both maps.

All in all, TheMongolz continue to show their standing as a strong second-line contender, while BLEED is proving that the addition of Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson and Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad is a move in the right direction.

On the back of their victory in Mongolia, Bleh in a post on X emphasized on the growing Counter-Strike scene in Asia.
