The Group Stage of PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025<\/a> has delivered some utterly exciting Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports action, but none of the matches, for me, comes close to the paiN Gaming vs. The MongolZ slugfest.<\/p>\n

On The MongolZ’s map pick of Inferno, it was too close to call in regulation, with overtime required to separate the sides. The MongolZ ended up winning 16-13, but that was only half the story.<\/p>\n
