MongolZ bench tikuak and DarkMeister

MongolZ announced the benching of Zolbayar “tikuak” Chimedtseren and Dugarsuren “DarkMeister” Ireedui, ending their two-month run on the active roster. Each player appeared in nine matches and averaged ratings of 0.91 and 0.92 during that period.

The change follows a 9-16th finish at EWC and a last-place exit at FISSURE Playground 3. At FISSURE Playground 3 MongolZ used Anarbileg “cobrazera” Uuganbayar as a stand-in for Sodbayar “Techno” Munkhbold and were eliminated by domestic rivals 5star.

The organization’s current active core lists Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren, Usukhbayar “910” Banzragch and Sodbayar “Techno” Munkhbold, with coach Erdenedalai “maaRaa” Bayanbat. Dugarsuren “DarkMeister” Ireedui, Zolbayar “tikuak” Chimedtseren and Anarbileg “cobrazera” Uuganbayar are registered as benched.

MongolZ have slightly more than a month to confirm a full roster ahead of PGL Masters Bucharest 2026, scheduled for the second half of October. The team must finalize its lineup before qualifying and group-stage matches for that event.

The organization did not provide details on the criteria used for the benchings and has not announced any immediate signings or promotions to the active roster.
