The MongolZ have made a revolutionary move in the Counter-Strike rankings by breaking into the top five teams of Valve worldwide. This achievement marks a historic moment for Asian esports - a scene that rarely attained such success.

Ahead of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, former professional and analyst Pimp shared his thoughts on The MongolZ's journey and their tournament prospects. "They have every chance to reach the 'Legends' stage," noted Pimp, adding, "Though the playoffs may be challenging, their mere presence speaks volumes."

Transformation of Asian CS: A Journey of Mastery and Strategy

Pimp, who has followed The MongolZ over the years, highlighted their impressive evolution from raw, skillful aimers to cohesive team players - a shift that has changed expectations from Asian teams on the global stage. "Initially, it was the typical story - great aim but lack of teamwork. They have shown they're much more than that."

Key players like senzu, bLitz, and talented 17-year-old mzinho are setting new standards. "Despite the variability in consistency, each player has the potential to change the game," remarked Pimp. Player 910, with just 3,800 hours of experience, demonstrates impressive maturity, highlighting the immense potential of the team.

Unique Playstyle and Inspiration for the New Generation

The MongolZ combine the Asian style of individual skill with the European style of teamwork - a rarity that changes perceptions of the region. "Asian CS is known for its intensity, but The MongolZ bring a unique blend that inspires young players across Asia," explains Pimp.
