The MongolZ Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) team has just been recognized as Mongolia’s official national team. Yep, you read that right—the Mongolian government is fully backing them, marking a huge milestone for esports in the country.
MongolZ started back in 2015, grinding their way through local tournaments. Fast forward to 2025, and they’re ranked 3rd in the world—an insane achievement for a team from a country with a relatively young esports scene.
Their aggressive playstyle, often called the “Mongolian style,” is fearless, fast, and unpredictable. It’s earned them a reputation for being one of the most exciting teams to watch in CS2.
If you’ve been following the MongolZ, you know names like bLitz, Techno4K, and Senzu. These guys have been instrumental in the team’s rise, showcasing some of the best CS2 gameplay in the world.
Government backing? That’s a game-changer. This isn’t just symbolic support—the Mongolian government is putting real resources behind the team. They’ll get funding for training, international travel, accommodations, and even player salaries. That’s huge!
Green passports = easier travel. Another major perk? The MongolZ players and staff will receive “green passports” (similar to diplomatic passports), giving them visa-free access to several countries. For a team competing globally, that removes a major headache.
Why does this matter for esports? This move sets a precedent. If more governments start recognizing and investing in esports, it could legitimize competitive gaming in ways we’ve never seen before.
It’s not just about the MongolZ—this recognition could lead to more investment in gaming infrastructure, better training facilities, and more opportunities for aspiring Mongolian players.
With government backing, the MongolZ are gearing up for massive tournaments like ESL Pro League Season 21 and other top-tier events in Europe, North America, and Australia.
Final thought: Is this the future of esports? If other countries follow Mongolia’s lead, we could see a world where esports teams are treated like national sports teams. What do you think—should more governments get behind their top gaming talent?
