A bizarre situation occurred at BLAST Bounty Season 2 during the match between The MongolZ and ENCE — the Mongolian team failed to show up for the map veto, which goes against the tournament rules.
The MongolZ Chilling Again: This Time, They Missed the Veto
According to the rules, if one team is absent during the veto process, the opponent is allowed to unilaterally decide the bans, picks, and map order. Additionally, the organizers penalized The MongolZ by removing all of their tactical pauses on the first map, making the situation even tougher for the squad.
The incident sparked lively discussion in the community — especially since The MongolZ had recently admitted that they barely practiced before IEM Cologne 2025. It seems that even after returning from Cologne, the team remains in “chill mode.”

And Yet — a Win
Despite the setbacks, The MongolZ managed to secure a 2–1 victory over ENCE. They took Mirage 13:10, lost Dust2 9:13, but dominated Nuke 13:5. Even without tactical pauses on the first map, the Mongolian squad confidently advanced further in the bracket, proving that a laid-back approach doesn’t always mean failure.
Probably Nothing’s Changed
Despite the win, questions around the team’s organizational discipline remain. Occasional victories don’t guarantee long-term success. Still, in this particular match, The MongolZ showed that they can win not only with solid gameplay but also with a bit of unpredictability.
