The MongolZ began their Ancient pick well and went 5-1 up after winning the pistol, but G2's CT began to gather steam soon after. Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov warmed up his AWP, which allowed his team to take a two-round lead at the switch, one that they extended to 11-5 after a hot start to their offense.

G2 then had some issues closing out the map, with The MongolZ bringing it back to 11-12 before Nikita "⁠HeavyGod⁠" Martynenko secured a 1vs2 clutch to win it for G2.

G2 were able to take that momentum into their Dust2 pick, as they recovered from losing an early 5vs2 on the B site with aplomb. They upset the applecart in the following round with an eco victory and strung together six rounds in a row to take a healthy 9-3 lead.

G2 kept their foot on the gas in the second half, breaking down The MongolZ defense time after time to secure a statement 13-4 win. Munkhbold "⁠Senzu⁠" Azbayar at least spared his blushes after he got his first kill in round 13 to finish the map on seven after getting an ace late on.

G2 rise in Valve Rankings

With the April 7 invite date for the Austin Major fast approaching, all eyes are on the movements of the Valve ranking.

Today's win propelled G2 into the top six, which means they are currently set for a Stage 3 invite after overtaking Falcons.

The result also means that Astralis are left without a direct invite at the moment, as they have been overtaken by Virtus.pro in the race for the No. 10 spot in the EU rankings — the final Stage 2 invite up for grabs.

The MongolZ's playoff run halted

The Mongolian side made four playoffs in a row following their top-eight appearance at the Shanghai Major, but their run comes to an end today.

The MongolZ beat Liquid and M80 to get themselves within one victory of playoffs but couldn't overcome G2 and Natus Vincere to exit the event with a 7-8th finish and lose out on a chance to gather some much-needed arena experience for the squad.
