Map results

Anubis

Monte opened on Anubis with a dominant 13-6 performance anchored by two individual contributions that prevented magic from building any sustained momentum across the map. The match was at 9-6 when Woro2k produced the clutch moment that defined the map. His 1v3 post-plant defence broke magic's economy at the exact point where the CIS roster had been threatening to close the gap and make the second half competitive. The economic damage from that round extended across the subsequent rounds and magic could not recover the buy power their system required to challenge Monte's structure in the closing stages. Monte closed Anubis 13-6 in a result whose comprehensive scoreline reflected how effectively Woro2k's clutch had ended magic's competitive window on the map.

Mirage

Mirage was the more competitive of the two maps but Monte maintained their individual advantage throughout, winning 13-8 in a second map where DemQQ produced the individual moment that confirmed the result. His AK-47 ace in the middle of Mirage arrived at a juncture where magic had been generating enough round wins to suggest a potential comeback. The ace broke the economic and psychological momentum that magic had been building and Monte closed the remaining rounds without resistance. The 5-round winning margin on Mirage reflected a map where Monte's individual depth across Woro2k, DemQQ and rYu gave them the carry platform that magic's system had no consistent answer for across either surface.

Standout performances

Woro2k posted a 1.45 series rating with a 41-21 kill-death ratio and 92.6 ADR, the highest individual rating of the match and the series MVP. His 1v3 post-plant clutch on Anubis at 9-6 was the defining individual moment of the series, a player whose peak output in the most critical round of the match broke magic's economy and ended their competitive window on the first map. His 41-21 kill-death ratio across both maps reflected a player operating at a level that magic had no specific preparation to counter.

DemQQ posted a 1.31 series rating with a 38-25 kill-death ratio and 88.4 ADR. His AK-47 ace on Mirage was the second standout individual moment of the series, arriving at the point where magic had been generating enough momentum to threaten a map that Monte needed to close. His output across both maps confirmed Monte's individual depth beyond Woro2k, two players producing high-impact clutch moments across a 2-0 sweep that keeps their PGL Astana 2026 campaign alive.
