They're Mongolia's national team in CS2, and for good reason.

This immense honor directed towards the top Asian team will see the squad receive official passports from the government and financial stipends for training and competing.

As members of the national team, they also will enjoy the benefit of the ability to travel to certain countries internationally without the need for a visa.

The massive honor comes as the team have led the way for esports in the small nation of 3.4 million, with the team receiving wider recognition in the nation for raising the profile of the relatively isolated nation.

Mongolia supporting their most accomplished esports tema could be especially useful as the upcoming BLAST.tv Major Austin is taking place in the United States. The US is notorious for visa issues regarding players coming from nations outside of the European Union.
