The MongolZ beat last year's finalists Legacy 13-8 on Mirage and 13-8 on Inferno at PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, moving to two wins and two losses with a playoff place still in reach.
The MongolZ beat Brazil's Legacy 2-0 at the Counter-Strike 2 tournament PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, keeping their bid for a playoff place alive.
According to HLTV.org, in the fourth Swiss round on October 27 The MongolZ won 13-8 on Mirage, Legacy's pick, and 13-8 on Inferno, their own pick. The match was between two teams on one win and two losses, so the loser was eliminated, and Legacy, finalists at last year's edition of the event, leave Bucharest with just one series win from four.
Captain Garidmagnai "bLitz" Byambasuren was the standout. HLTV said he had the highest rating on Mirage and the second-highest on Inferno, and Pley.gg's statistics credit him with 36 kills across the two maps. On Inferno The MongolZ trailed 7-8 before taking the final rounds in a row to win 13-8.
The result puts The MongolZ on two wins and two losses, in the pool with Liquid and Nemiga for a decisive playoff-qualifying match. The team had lost 0-2 to Vitality and also lost to MOUZ in earlier rounds. Pley.gg calculated that the win moves the team from 20th to 12th in HLTV's projection of Valve's standings and improves their chances of an invitation to PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027.
The HLTV and PGL posts on the result were among the most widely shared posts among Mongolian X users overnight.
