FaZe Defeats The MongolZ and Advances to BLAST Bounty Semifinals

FaZe has advanced to the semifinals of BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals in Counter-Strike 2. In the quarterfinal, the team defeated The MongolZ 2-1 - 16:12 on Nuke, 7:13 on Mirage, and 13:8 on Ancient.

The main moment of the series came on the first map. On Nuke, The MongolZ built a massive lead and were ahead 12:3, but failed to close out the game. After the side switch, FaZe completely seized the initiative, won 13 rounds in a row, and eventually took the map in overtime - 16:12.

The MongolZ managed to respond on Mirage. The team played a confident first half, gained a comfortable advantage, and did not allow FaZe to fully get back into the game. The map ended 13:7 in favor of the Mongolian squad, sending the series to a deciding Ancient.

On Ancient, FaZe looked noticeably more stable. The team started well on the T side, won the first half 9:3, and held onto its advantage after the side switch. The MongolZ tried to speed up the pace and fight for a comeback, but FaZe did not let their opponent get close and closed the map 13:8.

JBOEN also deserves a separate mention. FaZe’s new AWPer once again became one of the team’s key players and looked especially strong on the deciding map. Since his arrival, FaZe has continued to look refreshed and more confident in important matches.
