He will go up against donk tomorrow, potentially determining the player of 2025.
Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut posted another insane quarter-final to add to his record. He had a 30-8 K/D on T-side across both maps, also getting 12 multikills over two dominant maps.
The lack of Senzu meant that the Mongolz had no chance against the team of 2025. Unudelger ‘controlez’ Baasanjargal was notably absent, giving only a small fraction of what he showed in the group stage.
About whether controlez would stay for 2026, Sodbayar ‘Techno’ Munkhbold said he was “not sure”.
Mongolz swept off Mirage and Dust2
On Mirage, the Mongolz actually had a chance in the early stages. They won the force buy and got up to 3-1, but Vitality would soon take control.
ZywOo also had a strange round in the early stages, almost throwing a round where he dropped the bomb in connector. Robin ‘ropz’ Kool, also impeccable today, saved the round, and ZywOo soon took over.
He won a 1v1 in round 16 to keep Vitality firmly in the lead. In the next map, ropz won a 1v3, when the Mongolz seemed poised to get one back.
ZywOo went 46-18 in K/D in his thrashing of the Mongolians, and is set to face rival Daniil ‘donk’ Kryshkovets in a clash for the ages on Saturday.
