The all-Mongolian lineup have been climbing the world ranks this yr after knocking out higher-ranked groups like FURIA and Cloud9 from IEM Katowice in February.

The pool {of professional} CS:GO gamers isn’t huge in Mongolia, which may spell hassle for IHC, particularly as a result of the group has to discover a participant that continually will get frags throughout matches as sk0r can.
If kabal is staying on the bench for now, IHC’s various is to attempt poaching one among NKT’s Mongolian gamers—Erdenetsogt “erkaSt” Gantulga, Yesuntumur “nin9” Gantulga, or Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold.
