Match Overview
The first quarterfinal match of IEM Katowice 2025 will be TheMongolZ to face off against Eternal Fire. Some time ago, both of these teams were underdogs and a dark horse at the same time in every tournament they played, but recently, Eternal Fire earned themselves a few Grand Finals attempts even though they didn’t win any. The MongolZ have yet to prove themselves in this case, but it will be interesting to see how they play against each other after some time. The last time these two teams met was at IEM Rio 2024, and TheMongolZ won with a score of 2-1. Now, it seems Eternal Fire has a good chance to take their revenge.

Current Team and Players Form
TheMongolZ
The only losses in more than 10 matches they played recently were against MOUZ and Natus Vincere. They’re doing great, and on a good day, they can take down anyone, but they miss consistency against top teams at this point. ‘910’ is their star player, and he is currently in good form. Their in-game leader, ‘bLitz’, has been there for a long time and should have enough experience playing on a big stage to lead his team.
Eternal Fire
For the past few months, they’ve been doing an insane job and getting better and better. At the recent event, which was BLAST Bounty, they ended up in the Grand Final match against Spirit but couldn’t win it against the current best team in the world; other than that, no one could stop them. ‘XANTARES’ is in great form, and being one of the best riflers in the world, he keeps proving it. ‘woxic’, who was a star player a long time ago, now seems to be getting his form back. ‘jottAAA’ being their most recent addition gets more confident with every match.
XANTARES is happy about going into the arena to play
Match Prediction
Both teams were about the same level last year, but recently, Eternal Fire has performed better. They’re also more confident now, and they’re already used to the big stage. We expect Eternal Fire to win this game.
Can Eternal Fire, being in that excellent form, take their revenge for the last time they played against TheMongolZ? We will have to see it this Friday at 15:45 CET!
