Legacy 2-1 The MongolZ as latto's Nuke Ace Saves CAC Title Defence

Legacy beat The MongolZ 2-1 at CAC 2026 — latto's late-round ace clutch on Nuke saved the series and kept the title defence alive.

Legacy 2-1 The MongolZ as latto's Nuke Ace Saves CAC Title Defence

Legacy are alive at CS Asia Championships 2026. The Brazilian squad beat The MongolZ 2-1 in a chaotic three-map quarter-final — 13-11 Inferno comeback, 10-13 Mirage loss, Nuke decider — with Bruno ‘latto’ Rebelatto’s series-ending ace clutch as the image of the playoffs. Legacy continue the CAC title defence they began with last year’s trophy.

Inferno was the structural comeback

The MongolZ built a 9-3 first-half lead on their own pick. Legacy then won 10 of the final 12 rounds behind arT’s high-tempo calling and latto’s multi-kill rounds. The 13-11 opener flipped the matchup’s momentum permanently.

Nuke and the ace

After dropping Mirage 10-13 to a force-buy-fuelled MongolZ comeback, Legacy stabilised on the Nuke decider. The defining moment came late in the map when latto produced the series-ending ace. His own framing afterwards: ‘It’s in the top three plays of my career.’ Communication breakdowns and mistimed rotations from The MongolZ in the final rounds compounded the damage.

MIBR semi-final next

Legacy now face fellow Brazilians MIBR in the all-Brazil semi-final — guaranteeing a South American team in the CAC grand final. arT’s high-tempo identity vs MIBR’s insani-led firepower (coming off the historic 3.28 Ancient rating) is the matchup of the bracket. The MongolZ exit in 5-8th after a tournament that looked like recovery before the late collapse.
