Vitality, MOUZ, and The MongolZ have made a strong push to qualify for the Budapest Major playoffs.

In the crucial Group 2:1 match of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, three strong teams, Vitality, MOUZ, and The MongolZ, secured decisive victories and officially locked in their playoff spots.

Vitality decisively defeated NAVI, successfully achieving their goal of advancing.

The first match featured Vitality against NAVI in a close but ultimately decisive series. Vitality won both maps 13-11, securing their advancement thanks to a more consistent T-side performance.

Despite NAVI's efforts to stay afloat thanks to w0nderful's outstanding performance, the team's overall firepower was still insufficient to match their opponents, forcing them to seek a final chance in a do-or-die match. For Vitality, advancing to the playoffs was the minimum goal, and their consistent performance in achieving that has given the team confidence on their path forward.

MOUZ rallied from behind to defeat Falcons and secure a crucial point.

The match between MOUZ and Falcons is considered the most anticipated series of the day, with one of these two powerhouse teams destined to be pushed into a corner. Although MOUZ suffered a comeback defeat against Falcons in the first map, Mirage, they quickly adjusted their strategy.

MOUZ rallied strongly in Inferno, winning 13-6, and then withstood a comeback attempt in the decisive Nuke match to secure a 13-10 victory. This performance not only showcased MOUZ's resilience but also pushed Falcons to the brink of elimination, forcing them to face G2 tomorrow for the final spot.

The MongolZ unleashed their full firepower, sweeping G2 and advancing powerfully into the playoffs.

The MongolZ continued their aggressive style, overwhelming G2 with their formidable firepower and giving their opponents virtually no room to retaliate. They easily won their matches against Ancient and Dust2 with scores of 13-4 and 13-6 respectively, securing another impressive Major qualification in team history.

Despite the roster still being adjusted, The MongolZ's dominant gunplay has made them a dark horse that cannot be ignored in the playoffs.

With three teams successfully advancing, the playoff picture for this Major is becoming clearer. Next, G2, Falcons, NAVI, FaZe Clan, Passion UA, and B8 will compete in a do-or-die match to determine the remaining spots.
