FaZe vs The MongolZ Prediction 31 July 2026
🔊 BLAST Bounty Season 2 brings FaZe Clan face-to-face with Asia’s top representatives, The MongolZ, in another crucial step towards the semi-finals. Both teams have already navigated the online 1/32 and 1/16 finals and now head to the stage in Malta to determine who comes out on top. What makes this matchup particularly intriguing is that the European powerhouse handpicked the Mongolian squad during the playoff draft, considering them the most favorable opponent to kick off their postseason run. Still, The MongolZ have repeatedly shown they’re not a team to be underestimated-even when off-the-server issues threaten to distract them.
Head-to-Head
In the current season, the teams have yet to face each other, but historically, FaZe have managed to find answers to the aggressive playstyle of the Mongolian squad. However, The MongolZ have long since shed their “dark horse” label and learned how to break down the structured game of Europe’s elite clubs over the course of Bo3 series.

FaZe Team Overview
The European roster heads into the final stage of the tournament at full strength. Seasoned veterans frozen and Twistzz are joined by rising talents Neityu, jcobbb, and JBOEN, maintaining a consistently high level of play. Under Twistzz’s leadership, the team fell just short of the finals at the XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 and are clearly determined to bounce back at BLAST Bounty. FaZe’s biggest asset lies in their tactical flexibility and ability to adapt mid-map to any opponent. The decision to pick The MongolZ was driven not only by the need to collect ranking points, but also to secure an extra day of preparation for specific opponent strategies. Meanwhile, new coach enkay J has emphasized that the team isn’t counting on their rivals’ roster issues and is preparing for a tough challenge.

The MongolZ Team Overview
The MongolZ have arrived in Malta without their long-standing coach. The organization has officially confirmed that maaRaa will miss the LAN stage of BLAST Bounty, as well as the upcoming EWC, and will only be able to support the squad remotely due to visa issues. In previous tournaments where their coach was absent from behind the players, the Mongolian side consistently exited at the quarterfinal stage. Nevertheless, the players remain upbeat. Techno pointed out that the team’s newcomers, tikuak and DarkMeister, might actually feel less pressure on stage and could play with even more freedom. The revamped roster has already impressed online, taking down HEROIC before dismantling Wildcard. However, without their coach’s tactical calls and time-out management on stage, it will be significantly tougher for them to maintain their game plan and composure under pressure.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The absence of maaRaa, both as an emotional anchor and tactical leader, is a massive blow for the Mongolian side on the big stage. When the pressure mounts and the series starts slipping away, The MongolZ may simply lack the composure to steady the ship. FaZe, on the other hand, have bided their time and come into this matchup fully focused. Our prediction: FaZe Clan to win. Given that The MongolZ will have to rely solely on individual brilliance and rehearsed strategies, it’s only logical to back FaZe for the victory. If Twistzz and company can secure the opening map, there’s every chance this series wraps up 2-0.
