Chinese team “TYLOO” was invincible in Asian “Counter Strike” a few years ago. Mongolian best players would unite and made them nervous in small tournaments. But in case of bigger tournaments, they had histories of failure. Although “TYLOO” was number one in Asia, they didn’t fare well next to the big teams of Australia, Europe, and America.

At the beginning of 2020, “Checkmate”, a new team with unique name and logo, appeared in Mongolian “CS”. E.Bilgunbat or “kaz” played an important role in the team. Now he is director of “The MongolZ” team. He was building “Checkmate” with B. Gardmagnai or “bLitz”. In the same year, they added M.Sodbayar or “Techno4k”, 15-year-old to their team. That was the beginning of our well known “The MongolZ”.

“D13”, “Aravt”, “MongolZ”, “Tiger” were big players in Mongolian “CS”. The composition of “D13” at that time, such as “Annihilation”, “sk0R”, “rate”, “hasteka” are looking for Major rights, is the best athletes of Mongolia now. Later, “910” and “yAmi” also passed through this team.

“Checkmate” was successful in every competition it participated in. At this time coach “maaRaa” or “B.Erdenedalai” joined them as their assistant coach and soon became the head coach and generally took over the management. Then he changed all players but not “bLitz”, “Techno4k”.

Although they grew up in Mongolia, but still unlucky in big competitions of Asia. Kaz, who felt that if the opportunity arose the team would break into Asian game, attracted investors and named the team “IHC Esports”. Later on, they won the right of the Major and made a historic achievement by issuing a sticker for the first Mongolian team.

April 16, 2022 is a moment that will be written in golden letters in the history of Mongolian e-sports and will be remembered for generations. The Mongolian team “IHC Esports” won the Antwerp Major and won the Asia-Pacific region when “TYLOO” was weak. In the beginning, they lacked strength when competing with the best in the world. They made bold changes, joined the leading athletes of Mongolia in team, traveled to America and Europe, but did not find success.

At this time, the athletes announced their resignation from the team and resumed the old name “The MongolZ” as their continuation. It was from this time that Asian “CS” began to feel really easy for them. Constantly fighting with the best in the world, their level is comparable to that of Asia.

The boys of “MaaRaa” are doing very well in 2024 and they won four international competitions. Their winning streak that started with “eXTREMESLAND” continued with “MESA: Nomadic Masters” and “YaLLa Compass”. Now they’re making a stopover in Berlin for the “Thunderpick World Championship 2024”. The Asian Regional Tournament to qualify for the Major will begin soon.

Not long ago for Mongolians to qualify for the Major is long journey, but now the Mongolian team has never missed a Major. Not to mention, both teams are pushing for the Majors. The prize money of “The MongolZ” tournament exceeded 1 million USD. Not to mention the sticker revenue. And the sponsors are surrounding them.

If you noticed, there is a logo and name of “1xBet” on their jerseys. When “The MongolZ” started all over again, “1xBet” offered to cooperate, and the cooperation continues until now. With the help of sponsors, Mongolians have a full chance to become famous in the world through e-sports.
