The MongolZ vs Liquid Prediction 25 April 2025
🔊 The quarterfinals of IEM Melbourne 2025 will feature a clash between two teams: The MongolZ, who impressed during the group stage, and Team Liquid, who are striving to refine their gameplay following a change in leadership. The winner will advance to the semifinals against Team Vitality, while the loser will exit the tournament in 5th-6th place.
Head-to-Head
The teams clashed at PGL Bucharest, where the "Mongols" comfortably defeated Liquid on Mirage (13:11) and Anubis (13:7). However, it's worth noting that Liquid hadn't had the chance to refine their game with their new captain at that time. Now, they are demonstrating significant progress and learning from their mistakes.

The MongolZ Team Overview
The MongolZ made an impressive run through the group stage. After defeating Complexity and Faze, they found themselves in the upper bracket final, where they faced Brollan's team. In their match against MOUZ on Mirage, despite winning the first half, bLitz and his squad struggled on defense, securing only two rounds as CTs, ultimately losing their map pick 13-9. On Nuke, the MongolZ claimed both pistol rounds but immediately lost the follow-up force buys, preventing them from building their economy and gaining momentum. MOUZ's tournament experience and superior macro play gave them the edge, along with a bit of bad luck for the MongolZ with several unfortunate timing issues. The MongolZ are known for their well-structured play, especially on key maps like Mirage and Ancient. Against Liquid, they hold a slight edge as favorites due to their more stable and consistent form.

Editor's Prediction
Despite the progress shown by the "horses," it's unlikely they'll overcome the team from Mongolia. Currently, mzinho is in exceptional form and hungry for victories, as demonstrated in matches. Meanwhile, Liquid's top fraggers (NertZ, Twistzz) can't boast peak performance right now. Additionally, MongolZ are strong on Liquid's best maps, with Anubis being the only exception. Based on this, we predict that bLitz and his team will come out on top in this matchup. We're betting on a victory for The MongolZ.
