Team Falcons lived up to the expectations during the group stage and cruised through Group B with wins against K27 and Astralis. Meanwhile, The MongolZ haven’t had many issues in Group D, but they failed to deliver against Natus Vincere, indicating that they are not prepared to challenge the world’s top squads.
While MongolZ can be feisty underdogs, Team Falcons have been showing excellent form over the last few months, look more than ready to make a run for the trophy, and will be very hard to stop.
- Team Falcons are one of the hottest teams in the world

Team Falcons Are on A Roll
After winning the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major, Team Falcons now look more than ready to make a run for another big trophy in France.
Falcons have made it through Group B with two straightforward wins, beating K27 (13-6) and Astralis (2-0), to keep their win streak alive. And more importantly, Falcons showed that the extended break before the Esports World Cup hasn’t slowed them down one bit.
While they’ve long been known as a team who are very unpredictable and volatile, with a tendency to choke when least expected, Falcons have looked much improved in that department in the latter half of the season. And until proven otherwise, they are among the world’s strongest teams.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 13 | Esports World Cup 2026 | Astralis | 2-0 (W) |
| August 12 | Esports World Cup 2026 | K27 | 13-6 (W) |
| July 22 | BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 | 100 Thieves | 1-2 (L) |
| June 21 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | FURIA | 3-0 (W) |

The MongolZ Are Not Weak
The MongolZ qualified for the Esports World Cup playoffs via Group D, starting with a 13-7 win over magic, but then fell to Natus Vincere (1-2). In the lower bracket, MongolZ bounced back with a more promising performance against paiN Gaming, whom they bested 2-0.
The Mongolian squad have looked roughly as good as expected this tournament. They are a strong team, who will handle lower-rated rosters with relative ease, but they tend to struggle when faced with tier-one opponents.
This was already noticeable in the recent BLAST Bounty Summer campaign, and even the previous lineup had similar issues earlier this season.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 16 | Esports World Cup 2026 | paiN Gaming | 2-0 (W) |
| August 15 | Esports World Cup 2026 | Natus Vincere | 1-2 (L) |
| August 12 | Esports World Cup 2026 | magic | 13-7 (W) |
| July 31 | BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 | Astralis | 1-2 (L) |
| July 26 | BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 | Wildcard | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
The MongolZ are a strong team who are very efficient in taking down lower-rated squads. But their success against tier-one teams has been limited to a few upsets.
Even in their clash with Natus Vincere during the group stage, MongolZ ran out of steam, and they’re not set to face Team Falcons, who are arguably stronger than NaVi and in excellent shape.
This is Falcons’ game to lose.
