The MongolZ triumphed at YaLLa Compass 2024 with a 2-1 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas, marking their second consecutive international tournament win after claiming the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring trophy earlier this month. Their impressive run in Abu Dhabi culminated in a dominant performance against the surprise finalists.
Despite the 2-1 scoreline, The MongolZ clearly outclassed their opponents, nearly securing a 2-0 series if not for a missed map point on Ancient after rallying from a 3-9 deficit. The final two maps saw The MongolZ dominate, with Artem "r1nkle" Moroz, a tournament MVP contender, struggling in the decider. Nonetheless, Ninjas in Pyjamas showed promise in their LAN debut, positioning themselves as strong contenders for the upcoming FiReLEAGUE 2024 Global Finals in Argentina. For The MongolZ, this victory underscores their status as one of the most in-form teams. They aim for a third straight win at next week's ESL Challenger Jönköping, with even greater goals on the horizon.
