The MongolZ vs Team Liquid match overview

Team Liquid and The MongolZ will play in a best-of-three match on March 23, 2025 during the BLAST Open Spring 2025 group stage. This is an elimination match, with the loser going home. The winner of the match survives, but has to defeat the winner of M80 vs G2 Esports to earn a spot in the playoffs.

The MongolZ vs Team Liquid in-depth team analysis

The MongolZ roster and recent results

The MongolZ picked up a solid top-four finish in ESL Pro League Season 21 before losing to eventual winner Team Vitality. The team opened BLAST Open Spring with a win, getting the better of M80 in a tough series. It fell to the lower bracket after being beaten by NaVi in heartbreaking fashion.

Here is The MongolZ’s long-standing roster, who are competing in BLAST Open Spring

• Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren
• Sodbayar “Techno4K” Munkhbold
• Usukhbayar “910” Banzragch
• Ayush “mzinho” Batbold
• Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold

The MongolZ map pool

The MongolZ struggles on Nuke but is very strong elsewhere. The team has a 43% winrate on Nuke over the last six months, but has a strongly positive winning record on every other map it has played. Mathematically, the team’s best maps are Inferno and Anubis.

Team Liquid roster and recent results

Team Liquid made it to the ESL Pro League Season 21 playoffs, but took a first-round elimination from eventual winner Vitality. It got off to a rough start in BLAST Open Spring 2025 by taking a loss to Eternal Fire

Twistzz will look to lead Team Liquid’s roster to, at the very least, a deeper run into the group stage:

• Keith “NAF” Markovic
• Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken
• Roland “ultimate” Tomkowiak
• Justin “jks” Savage
• Guy “NertZ” Iluz

The MongolZ vs Team Liquid betting picks & predictions

Core picks

• Team Liquid wins (2.6)
  • Team Liquid’s chances here are arguably better than the 2.6 line would suggest, so NA believers do have a value play here
• The MongolZ wins 2-0 (2.48)
  • This iteration of Team Liquid has seen all its losses against top-10 teams in best-of-threes come via a 2-0 score, save its match against The MongolZ in Katowice

Prediction

The MongolZ should be able to get the victory over Team Liquid in this match. It’s far from a layup, as Team Liquid is still a credible fringe top-10 team, but the recent form and stats on a map-by-map basis favor The MongolZ.
