Following an unbelievable performance at the BLAST.tv Austin Major, The MongolZ has unveiled a new academy roster focused on developing home-grown talents.
For the longest time, Asia was considered a region where underdogs hailed from, but with the release of CS2, the MongolZ roster achieved unbelievable feats and has turned that narrative upside down. Having beaten the biggest names on the biggest stage of Counter-Strike, the roster was just a win away from bringing home Asia’s first Major.
Their performance has demonstrated that Mongolian talent is capable of competing with the best, and further solidifying this, MongolZ has unveiled an academy roster to promote regional talents.
The MongolZ academy roster is as follows:
- Irmuun ‘IruX’ Gankhuyag
- Itgel ‘HAKAII8’ Tsogtbayar
- Zolbayar ‘t!kuak’ Chimedtseren
- Munkhtamir ‘ghetto’ Munkhbayar
- Sanchirbileg ‘CXIX’ Ulziibadrakh
- Ulambayar ‘rifle’ Dolgor (Coach)
Forming an academy roster has proven to be extremely rewarding for teams lately. The likes of Spirit and NAVI have produced a plethora of stars by backing young talent, proving that if correctly nurtured, these talents could become the sharp spears of their future lineups.
Only time can tell if MongolZ’s academy team could replicate the success that the EU and CIS academy teams have done, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see more and more talents come out of the region.
