MongolZ lost their last meeting with Aurora Gaming during PGL Astana 2025, but they have shown better form on their IEM Dallas 2025 group stage run. Likewise, Aurora Gaming have shown good things en route to the knockout stage.

This is a clash between two good Counter-Strike 2 teams who seem to be in great shape. And as the latest betting odds suggest, this can be anyone’s game.

The MongolZ Form

The MongolZ fought their way to another big event knockout stage with a very promising display in Group A. They bested FURIA (2-0) and G2 Esports (2-0) and took Team Vitality to three maps (10-13, 13-7, 11-13) in Group A finals.

A lot of their success is thanks to 910, the tournament’s sixth-highest-rated player, who is averaging a 1.25 performance rating over seven maps played. As a unit, MongolZ are the third-best-rated team with a 1.14 rating.

This, however, would not be the first time MongolZ looked very good in the group stage only to fall flat in the playoffs. So, the question is whether history will repeat itself on Friday.

Aurora Gaming Form

Aurora Gaming have made another big event knockout stage in Dallas by completing a lower bracket run in Group B. They kicked off the tournament with a 1-2 loss to HEROIC before beating NRG (2-0), Team Liquid (2-0), and HEROIC (2-1) in the lower bracket final.

With those results, Aurora Gaming are 7-3 from their last 10 outings, which includes three losses against Natus Vincere, Astralis, and HEROIC.

While an impressive figure, Aurora have not beaten many good teams over that stretch, except for MongolZ (2-0) during PGL Astana 2025.

Verdict

The MongolZ v Aurora Gaming

As the betting odds suggest, this should be a very competitive game. Both teams have looked good during the group stage, and while it is fair to say that MongolZ showed a bit more in their wins, they’ve also lost against Aurora Gaming in their last clash.

The main question here is whether The MongolZ can avoid choking on LAN like they have done several times before. However, like MongolZ, Aurora Gaming do not have the best record on stage either.

I can see this one extending to three maps, but I would prefer to be on the side of MongolZ, who have shown higher highs.
