The MongolZ Lift the Counter-Strike 2 at Esports World Cup Trophy, as Hero Run Ends in Title Triumph

The MongolZ lifted the Counter-Strike 2 at Esports World Cup trophy in a dominant 3-0 clean sweep of Aurora Gaming. The MongolZ claim $500,000 of the $1,250,000 prize pool for their victory.
The MongolZ journey to the grand final saw them take down GamerLegion and 3DMAX in the early rounds to set up a semifinal against Team Vitality. That series was always going to define their run, and a historic 2-1 victory against one of their bitter rivals would set them up for the grand final against Aurora Gaming.
The MongolZ had an incredible final series, picking up all three maps in a clean sweep of Aurora. While Aurora had their moments, even forcing the first map into overtime, The MongolZ always looked to be one step ahead of them. The victory caps off a run of six top four finishes without a victory in 2025, as they finally lift the trophy they’ve been fighting for.
As for Aurora, their story wasn’t to be, having defeated G2 Esports 2-0, MOUZ 2-1, and Team Falcons in a heroic 2-0 victory on their way to the grand final. Despite the loss, the team will take home a sizeable $230,000 for finishing in second place.
“To be honest, I think I just did my job very well, and my performance was good,” said Sodbayar “Techno4K” Munkhbold from The MongolZ. “At the start of this year, I had a little bit of struggle, but I came back to this event. I’m really proud of my team, because they are the pillar to bring me here.”Â
Sodbayar “Techno4K” Munkhbold was named the SONY MVP, after his amazing individual performances at EWC 25 throughout the event. He will receive an additional $10,000 and the MVP medal to recognise his achievements.
As The MongolZ have only competed in Counter-Strike 2, the Club Championship points they have earned will not make them eligible for prize money. However, on the other side of the grand final, the second-place finish for Aurora sends them up to eleventh place, securing them $525,000 for their final placement. With all games at the 2025 Esports World Cup now complete, the final Club Championship standings have been confirmed, with Team Falcons taking the win, Team Liquid ending in second and Team Vitality claiming third.
