m0NESY and molodoy will face each other tomorrow in the semis.

FURIA and molodoy closed out their series against theMongolZ, with the Kazakh sniper going above and beyond. He closed out the series with an ace, followed by a 1v1 retake.

TheMongolZ took on FURIA in the quarter-final of IEM Chengdu 2025. The Mongolian squad suffered the loss of their star Senzu before this tournament, but still made it to the top 6 bracket.

Though the second map was close, TheMongolZ took a long time to get going. Up until the last stretch of FURIA’s map pick, they had only managed 4 gun rounds, and got humbled 13-5 on their own pick of Mirage.

KSCERATO and molodoy were the standouts for FURIA, yet again making it deep to another big tournament.

13-5 (Mirage) – KSCERATO | 2.03 rating

13-10 (Overpass) – molodoy | 1.63 rating

Semi-final bracket

Tomorrow will be a stacked day of Counter-Strike, as the top 4 ranked VRS teams will be playing.

One matchup will feature #1 Vitality and #4 MOUZ, a one-sided rivalry with an 8-2 record, whose tides have been shifting recently.

The other will have #3 Falcons and #2 FURIA, two international squads with the two best young snipers in CS2 today.
