Looking Ahead

Ranked among the world’s top five teams, The MongolZ will carry newfound confidence into the Austin Major playoffs. With Senzu in peak form, the Mongolian side pose a legitimate threat to established powerhouses, and fans can expect more electrifying performances as the tournament progresses.
