The MongolZ pulled off one of the wildest comebacks in recent CS:GO history at the BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 2 Finals in Malta, beating Aurora 2-0 despite being down 0-11 on Mirage. The Turkish squad left the event with heavy hearts after a tough loss, but The MongolZ fans got a interesting show.
Aurora and The MongolZ have a heated rivalry, having met four times in playoffs this year. The score was tied 2-1 in favor of The MongolZ going into this match. The series started on Dust2, Aurora’s pick, where The MongolZ barely edged out a 13-11 win. But the real madness happened on Mirage.
Imagine being down 0-11 on Mirage. Most teams would fold, right? Not The MongolZ. They scored their only Terrorist side round with a clutch 1v3 by Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren, and after the sides switched, they dismantled Aurora’s defense to force overtime. It was an intense back-and-forth that ended with The MongolZ taking the map 16-13, completing a comeback that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
On Dust2, the game was a grind with a heavy focus on B site. Neither team had much success attacking, but The MongolZ started strong with a 3-0 pistol round lead on T side. Despite a triple kill clutch from Aurora’s Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold, The MongolZ held their ground, with Ayush “mzinho” Batbold shining on Catwalk and bLitz and Senzu locking down B site. They went into the half 8-4 up, eventually sealing the map 13-11.
Mirage looked bleak for The MongolZ early on. Aurora dominated the offense, with Samet “jottAAA” Köklü pulling off a 1v2 ace clutch to push the score to 11-0. Then came the moment that blew minds: bLitz’s 1v3 clutch secured The MongolZ’s only T side round, sparking a comeback that crushed Aurora’s confidence. The MongolZ’s double AWP setup was lethal, and Aurora seemed to crumble under the pressure.
Fans in the community had plenty to say. Some called it the “biggest choke of the year” for Aurora, while others marveled at The MongolZ’s resilience. Comments ranged from disbelief to admiration for bLitz’s clutch plays and the team’s mental strength. One fan even compared it to legendary comebacks in CS:GO history.

Finally, bLitz’s clutch round that sparked the comeback:
Stats wise, bLitz led The MongolZ with a +9 kill-death difference and a 1.33 rating, supported by solid performances from mzinho and Senzu. On Aurora’s side, woxic had a +12 K-D and a 1.23 rating, but even his efforts couldn’t save the team from the collapse.
What a rollercoaster! Do you think Aurora can bounce back from this? Or is this the end of their BLAST Bounty run? Meanwhile, The MongolZ will carry this insane momentum into the semifinals.
