THE MONGOLZ vs PASSION UA

The MongolZ will continue with Unudelger “controlez” Baasanjargal as their fifth player, after showing some signs of life with the substitute player at Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2025. While a fifth-sixth place finish was far below the expectations for the Mongolian outfit, MongolZ have proven they can still compete at the top level.

Passion UA have yet to prove the same thing, with no appearances in bigger events this season. Even in B- tier tournaments, they’ve not consistently secured top spots, which is hardly inspiring that Passion UA can do much damage in Hong Kong.

Even though MongolZ are weaker with their current lineup, they should not struggle against a tier-two team. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep will be a major disappointment.

TEAM SPIRIT vs TEAM FALCONS

Team Spirit and Team Falcons met last week, in IEM Chengdu 2025 Group A upper bracket semifinals, when Falcons won in two maps. Spirit lost Dust II 6-13 and while they came close to winning Ancient, they collapsed on T-side and had to admit defeat in overtime with 13-16.

Team Falcons were the better team on the day and reached further in the tournament, so it comes as no surprise that the best Counter-Strike 2 betting sites have them priced as favorites. While Spirit still possess the individual talent and firepower that makes than a threat to any team, their form over the last two months is concerning. The right team is favored.

FURIA vs PAIN GAMING

FURIA enter BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 following a very impressive run to IEM Chengdu 2025 trophy, marking their third gold medal in just over a month. FURIA’s success in China is a good indication of how high this roster can fly, but with just three days to prepare for BLAST Rivals, some fatigue could set in.

PaiN Gaming are one of the lowest-rated teams in the tournament, with no notable tournament placement in 2025, except for their heroic run to BLAST.tv Austin Major semifinals. Since then, PaiN have not come close to winning another event nor have they looked competitive when faced with stronger teams.

FURIA are likely fatigued after having to deal with a packed schedule, but they should not struggle taking down paiN, who do not seem to have the tools to compete at the highest level.

TEAM VITALITY vs TYLOO

Team Vitality suffered a humiliating 0-3 loss in the IEM Chengdu 2025 grand finals against FURIA and will want to bounce back in Hong Kong. While wining the title will not come easy, their campaign beings with what appears to be a very easy task of beating TYLOO.

The Chinese outfit also attended IEM Chengdu, but crashed out in last place, with defeats against Team Falcons and PaiN
Gaming. Across the four maps played, they crossed double digits just once and even prior to that, Wang “Mercury” Jingxiang and his crew have not looked competitive when faced with good teams.

Team Vitality are $1.06 favorites for this match, which is a very low number, but a fair one. TYLOO have not shown enough
recently to believe they can keep this game close.
