Team MGD1 is the sole leader of the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Teams 2025. After Day 1 MGD1 was the only perfect team in the field, winning vs Mongolz, Barys.kz, Rishon LeZion Chess Club, and Uzbekistan.

Day 2 continued with a relentless march by MGD1, with Tayade Athervaa scoring 7,0/7! But even his 8,0/8 score in round 8 could not help MGD1 avoid their first loss, at the hands of Hexamind.

After 8 rounds MGD1 leads with 13 MP, the same as Hexamind, but with a better tiebreak.
