The Mongolz vs Astralis - PGL Bucharest 2026

Astralis arrive in strong shape. Four wins from their last five, including back-to-back victories over B8 and MIBR, show a team with genuine momentum. The historical H2H dominance is real too, with a 75% winrate over The MongolZ in prior meetings. On paper, this looks straightforward for the Danish side.

The MongolZ have a weapon Astralis cannot afford to ignore. Their 57% winrate on Mirage across 23 maps is backed by consistent first-picks, while Astralis crumble on that same map with a 30% winrate. Dust2 is no safer at 27%. The MongolZ will walk straight into Astralis's worst nightmare and live there comfortably.

The psychological H2H deficit is a real concern for The MongolZ, but their recent form is airtight. Wins over Spirit, Liquid, and Aurora show a team peaking at the right moment. With the map pool tilting heavily in their favor and Astralis's vulnerabilities well documented, The MongolZ have the tools to break the historical trend.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

The Mongolz to win 1.65

Astralis to win 2.10
