PGL announces PGL Ulaanbaatar, beating out BLAST
PGL also announced PGL Ulaanbaatar, a 16-team $1,000,000 event in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar. The explosion of The MongolZ onto the scene has highlighted the fanatical support for the Mongolian roster and the passion for CS in Ulaanbaatar especially.
The city is home to the majority of Mongolia’s three million population, with gaming cafes proving to be hugely popular in the city, allowing Counter-Strike culture to develop in Mongolia.
The LAN is the second Tier 1 tournament announced for Ulaanbaatar in 2027, after BLAST Open Ulaanbaatar 2027, but PGL Ulaanbaatar will beat BLAST to the post, as it takes place a month earlier, from April 15-25.
The PGL event was initially slated to take place in China, but has been moved to Mongolia for undisclosed reasons.
