The MongolZ: Major Record and a Playoff Breakthrough
On June 15, The MongolZ secured a high-stakes victory over G2 Esports in a decisive match for a spot in the playoffs at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. The game was intense, action-packed — and, as it turned out, historic.
This wasn’t just about qualifying. A long-standing major record was broken during this match. What happened and which record exactly? I’ll break it all down below. Trust me — this one’s worth your attention.
Victory Over G2 and a Spot in the Playoffs
The MongolZ claimed a crucial win against G2 Esports in the match that decided who would move on to the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 CS2 playoffs. The series opened with a dominant performance on Ancient, where the Mongolian side took a clean 13–6 victory. But Dust2 turned into a drawn-out battle filled with pressure and chaos. After multiple overtimes, the final score was 28–25. The MongolZ held their composure when it mattered most.
Thanks to this result, the team advanced to the playoff stage of one of the biggest CS2 tournaments of 2025. G2, on the other hand, exited the competition in 9th–12th place and walked away with $15,000 in prize money. Despite playing at a high level, the lineup led by Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski failed to close out the deciding map.
This match is already being talked about as one of the most memorable of the group stage. The complexity of Dust2, the unpredictable momentum shifts, and the mental pressure The MongolZ withstood are clear proof of the team’s preparation — and their readiness for what lies ahead in the playoffs.
Senzu — Star of the Match and Record-Breaker
On June 15, Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold did something no one had managed for nearly a decade. In the decisive match against G2 Esports at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, he racked up 56 kills on Dust2, breaking a legendary record that had stood since 2016. Back then, NiKo posted 52 kills in 59 rounds. Senzu needed just 53. Add to that a 1.45 rating and a performance that directly carried The MongolZ into the playoffs.
“I just changed my crosshair. I don’t even think it’s the best one for me,” Senzu said calmly after the match. That was the only comment he gave about the record at the time.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just any match. It happened on a CS2 Major — the highest tier of competition in the game. Performances like this are extremely rare. And it wasn’t just about the numbers. Senzu’s impact changed the course of the series and directly shaped the team’s future in the tournament.
