The Greatest Underdogs in Counter-Strike History

Sponsored by OMEN - Your Portal to Possibility. Going into the Austin Major, few thought The Mongolz had any shot of making it to the grand finals, let alone past their first match of the bracket. It was hard to blame the pundits. The Mongolz were some of the youngest, most aggressive and most mechanically talented players at the event, but seemed to pale in comparison to the titans they shared the bracket with. Players like s1mple, ZywOo and karrigan all seemed like much safer bets to win it all. And yet, Counter-Strike’s greatest-ever underdogs were about to show the world they were more than anyone expected.
