Mouz and Mongolz staged a successful comeback on Monday to kick $ 300,000 Intel Extreme Masters Masters Melbourne 2025 in Australia.
Sixteen teams are competing in the counter-stroke 2 tournament, concluding with a top prize of $ 125,000 in Sunday’s Grand Finals.
Both Mouz and Mongolz held a rally to win a 2–1 win in the upper-bracket quarter-finals in Group A, where both members of the fellow group Group Group and Phase Klan made 2–0 sweeps.
In Group B, Team Witness and Team Falcon Post Sweep and Team Liquid and Natas Winnsere won 2–1 in the upper-bracket quarterfinals.
The top three teams from each group move forward for the playoffs, with the group stage winning semi-finals, the runner-up proceeds as a high seed in the quarter-finals, and the third-place teams carry forward the quarter-finals as a low seed. Single-elimination playoffs begin on Friday. All matches are three to three until the best-five grand finals of Sunday.
After losing 13–6 to Big on Infrano, Mauj responded with a win of 13–9 over Mirage and a win of 13–8 over ancient. Mongolz decided 13–11 for the complexity of 13–11 before the winning of 16–13 win over ancient and 13–10 win over Infrano. Gamerlegian defeated 3DMAX 13–4 on ancient and 13–8 on Infrano. Faze Clan won 13–11 consecutive wins, which was against the pain on Anubis and Inferno against gaming.
In Group B, Vitality defeated Flycuest 13–2 on Annabis and 13–8 on Newcomes. Liquid won the 13–8 win over Dust II and 13–10 over ancient, which is around a 13–8 defeat on Mirage.
