However, they now face Team Vitality, a squad determined to spoil their Cinderella story. While Vitality may not be the tournament favorites, they are heavily favored to win this match.

Many fans are hoping for an upset victory by The MongolZ, but apEX and his squad are ready to prove why they remain a force to be reckoned with.

Who Will Be the Champion?
