One wouldn’t normally expect the nations of Brazil and Mongolia to be against one another in almost any sport or even esport, but CSGO is the great equalizer of gaming, and we have teams from each of those nations going up against one another. Imperial vs The MongolZ is bound to be a thriller, with both teams well-balanced and poised to give it all. Two underdogs clash in the Lower Bracket of Group A in IEM Rio 2023.

It’s been a topsy-turvy year for the plucky Mongolian side, who have undergone squad and organizational changes all in the space of a few months. They also had a rough start to their IEM Rio campaign, where they did well on the attack on Mirage but looked lost and despondent on the defense. Now they have to get their act together to keep their tournament hopes alive.
