Machinegun returns to TheMongolZ

TheMongolZ have confirmed via Facebook that they have re-signed Enkhtaivan "Machinegun" Lkhagva.

The 26-year-old returns to the Mongolian team just five months after leaving it to further his career in North America with Splyce, who put together a roster with players from five different countries.

But Enkhtaivan "⁠Machinegun⁠" Lkhagva's time on Splyce ended up being short lived, with the North American organisation cutting ties with both him and David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford and bring in two US-based players instead. 


Machinegun makes TheMongolZ return

Machinegun will step into the shoes of Temuulen "⁠Zilkenberg⁠" Battulga, who stepped down from the team's active lineup in November over reasons that were never disclosed.

The announcement comes a week after TheMongolZ finished 5th-8th in the Asian qualifier for DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, in which they fielded Erdenedalai "⁠maaRaa⁠" Bayanbat as a substitute.

TheMongolZ now have:

Mongolia Bat-Enkh "⁠kabal⁠" Batbayar
Mongolia Gan-Erdene "⁠dobu⁠" Batbold
Mongolia Bold "⁠ncl⁠" Batsukh
Mongolia Tsog "⁠Tsogoo⁠" Mashbat  
Mongolia Enkhtaivan "⁠Machinegun⁠" Lkhagva

Because MongolZ > Immunity ? Its his choice and money & location will certainly do the deal. > ( erkaSt, Zilkenberg, MachineGun, tsogoo, dobu ) erkaSt = Lurk Zikenberg = AWP MachinGun = IGL, Last Entry & 2nd AWP tsogoo = Revenge Fragger dobu = Entry Fragger - MongolZ would dominate asia alongside TyLoo & VGC.
