The MongolZ literally stepped over Aurora with a result of 3-0 in the Esports World Cup 2025 grand final to lift their first Big Event trophy, capping a single-elimination run that also took down GamerLegion, 3DMAX, and Vitality. Finally, the performance has set the Mongolian side as a breakout international contender and puts Asia’s rising scene firmly in the spotlight.
The series opened on Mirage, Aurora looked fierce early with Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş and Özgür “woxic” Eker producing big moments, but The MongolZ clawed back with forcebuy wins and forced overtime, ultimately taking Mirage 16-14. The MongolZ had already dismantled several strong opponents on their way to the final, and their ability to grind out tight situations proved decisive. Key moments swung in the later rounds, and the Mongolian squad kept the pressure consistent.
Dust2 was the second map, and The MongolZ were clinical, building a 7-5 half after starting 0-3 and then extending control to a 13-9 win, with Engin “MAJ3R” Küpeli providing the Turkish side with some resistance but not enough to turn the map. Aurora’s Ali “Wicadia” Haydar Yalçın landed a highlight Desert Eagle quad-kill that briefly threatened a comeback, but The MongolZ held strong. On Nuke, the MongolZ took the first pistol and dominated thereafter, closing the map 13-4 and the series 3-0.

The final scoreboard underlined a team effort. Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold led the way with a standout line and the best rating of the match. At the same time, Sodbayar “Techno” Munkhbold, Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren, and Ayush “mzinho” Batbold all posted positive impacts across maps. Usukhbayar “910” Banzragch produced a clutch AWP 1v3 on Nuke that punctuated the MongolZ dominance. Those box scores show a balanced attack rather than a single superstar carrying the final.
