MIBR Beat The MongolZ in FISSURE Playground 3 Opener

MIBR kicked off their FISSURE Playground 3 campaign with a victory over The MongolZ. The opening-round group stage series ended 2:1 in favor of the Brazilian side.

The series began on Ancient, where The MongolZ were in full control and comfortably took the map 13:5. MIBR, however, recovered quickly from the poor start and tied the series on Mirage with a 13:10 win.

The decider was played on Inferno. The teams produced a close battle that went into overtime, where MIBR eventually came out on top and closed the map 16:12. One of the key moments was a 1v3 clutch from Lucas “nqz” Soares, which helped the Brazilians seize the initiative late in the game.

The match also marked MIBR’s first LAN appearance with Tomas “tomaszin” Corna. The newcomer struggled on Ancient with a 0.55 rating but improved significantly on the following maps, posting a 1.30 rating on Mirage and 1.06 on Inferno.

The MongolZ played without one of their key players, Techno, which also affected the Mongolian team’s lineup.

Following the victory, MIBR will continue in the upper bracket and face 9z for a spot in the playoffs. The MongolZ, meanwhile, drop into an elimination match, where they will take on fellow Mongolian side 5star.
