The MongolZ vs BetBoom Team Betting Tips – The MongolZ with a Point to Prove
The MongolZ and BetBoom Team are set for an exciting first clash in Stage 3 of the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The MongolZ are the more established squad, but arrive with questionable recent form and no prior tournament matches this Major. In contrast, BetBoom have gained momentum after going 6-1 in the earlier stages, displaying strong firepower and impressive map performance, especially on Dust II. While MongolZ are still seen as likely winners, BetBoom's current form suggests a potential upset is possible, making this a must-watch match.

The MongolZ’s Form Is Questionable
The MongolZ will play their first game of the Major on Thursday, when they face off against BetBoom Team. They are, in theory, the better team of the two, although their form ahead of the Major hasn’t been that great.
Since placing third at PGL Bucharest in April, The MongolZ have crashed out of PGL Astana in ninth-11th and CS Asia Championships in fifth-sixth.
This does not take away from the fact that MongolZ have previously placed close games against some of the world’s best teams. However, form-wise, they do not appear to be in the best shape.

BetBoom Team Are in Good Shape
BetBoom Team have reached Stage 3 of Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major 2026 by fighting through Stage 1 and 2.
In the first stage, BetBoom defeated Gaimin Gladiators, Team Liquid, and GamerLegion, and in Stage 2, they added wins against GamerLegion, M80, and Monte, dropping just one series against the dangerous Team Spirit.
A lot of BB Team’s success is thanks to their firepower, which is good enough to challenge anyone. This also explains their 83% win rate on Dust II, which is their strongest map and a map on which BetBoom Team can beat anyone.
Compared to MongolZ, the map pool isn’t as great, although BB Team do well on Anubis, Nuke, and Dust II, which could be enough to force a close game.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 8 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Monte | 2-1 (W) |
| June 7 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | M80 | 13-2 (W) |
| June 6 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | GamerLegion | 13-9 (W) |
| June 6 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Team Spirit | 5-13 (L) |

Verdict
On paper, this is The MongolZ’ game to lose. They are a more proven team, with a deeper map pool. However, BetBoom Team are no pushovers.
They have looked great so far this Major, going 6-1 over the two stages. Their firepower is also very scary and difficult for any team to deal with. Moreover, BB Team have had a chance to warm up over the two stages, whereas The MongolZ enter this game cold.
While MongolZ appear as the most likely victors, BetBoom have shown enough to give them a nod in this contest.
