erkaSt joins NG

27-10-2020 13:01

The 25-year-old steps out of the Mongolian scene to join NG's Asian roster.

NG continue to add to their international roster with the signing of another high-profile player in the Asian scene, Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga, bringing the player count in the starting lineup up to four, each one of them from a different country.

Now a household name in Asia, erkaSt first made a name for himself in Oceania, where he was part of the Grayhound squad that played at IEM Sydney in 2018 and 2019, made two ESL Pro League Finals and competed at the IEM Katowice 2019 and StarLadder Berlin Major's New Challengers Stages.

erkaSt will play under the NG banner from now on

The Mongolian player then had to return to his home country after not being able to secure a work visa in Australia following the StarLadder Major, where he achieved moderate success with TIGER, winning the first Regional Major Ranking tournament, the Weibo Cup Asian Championship and making the final of the latest RMR tournament, Perfect World Asia League Fall.

Since returning to Mongolia erkaSt has accrued a 1.15 rating and has had strong performances at all of the RMR tournaments with a 1.20 rating at ESL One: Road to Rio Asia as well as 1.19 and 1.14 ratings at the PAL Summer and Fall events, respectively.

“For the past year since Grayhound, I’ve been playing with and giving my experiences to my fellow Mongolians and the community there as a player", erkaSt says, "but from today onward, I’m very excited to call NG a new home and really looking forward to play with my new teammates and the journey ahead of us. Thank you for all your support and especially NG for giving me this opportunity!"

NG are now:

Anthony "⁠ImpressioN⁠" Lim
Hyun-Pyo "⁠XigN⁠" Lee
Thotsaphon "⁠cbbk⁠" Suphatthanaphalaphon
Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga

Nice good luck

Could be a decent team internationally, and should be pretty damn good in Asia. Pretty sure the 5th will be xccurrate. Looking good.

2020-10-28 06:56

Could also be Kaze if they bring out the big bucks.

2020-10-27 13:17

If it's kaze this roster is litttt

2020-10-27 14:05

If its kaze then it certainly isthe most international asian roster in the scene... and no question top 3 for the region.

2020-11-01 11:47

Impossible, too high of a buyout

2020-10-27 18:22

Not impossible, NG are rich.

2020-10-27 18:34

I'm not sure it should be xcc, he's been streaming valorant so much. I do want to see him back on top level cs, of course, but it's not looking like that's happening.

2020-10-27 15:27

2020-10-28 07:06

Olivia>>>xcc

2020-10-30 13:02

i really hope they get KAze instead of xccurate, if they do and NG supports the team by letting them bootcamp in EU they have enourmous potential, very good aimers and a good brain in impression, i hope they dpnt get fucked over by the rg like many asian teams do

Considering XigN and ImpressioN left BTRG because they got fucked over by the org I'm thinking they really believe in NG.

How'd the get fucked over by BTRG? that's the first I've jeard

2020-10-27 14:31

Basically for the last three months they play for btrg, they didn't get paid both salary and prize money. Since btrg boss is in china but players are not in china they can't confront him face 2 face, so they just quit.

2020-10-27 15:04

Yeah this. Contract breaches.

2020-10-27 15:11

I never read too much into their exits so atleast now ik btrg is another shit org and to not support them thank you mens B)

2020-10-27 19:11

wat

2020-10-27 18:16

Nah dude.. Its not good

2020-10-27 14:40

How come?

Because he suck right now, always miss every easy target, kaze better than him

2020-10-28 15:06

Nice opinion.

2020-10-28 15:07

if they get Gratata tho 👀

2020-10-27 15:28

Someone needs to save xcurrate, so I also hope their 5th is xcurrate.

2020-10-27 17:54

Xeta better

2020-10-27 18:25

He quit tho.

Yo le noob, I really hope for the team that it will be Olivia, he is the only available awper that could help them achieve something internationally.

2020-10-30 13:00

Reports are saying it's xccurate. He's very good, if not better than Olivia. With him this is quite literally an Asian FaZe.

2020-10-30 13:24

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

2020-10-27 13:35

xcurate to finalize

2020-10-27 13:22

Gib kaze or amazing

2020-10-27 16:16

Aussie Aussie

OI OI OI

Would love him to join ex 100t gang in Aus and rise up

2020-10-27 13:07

Renegades are more alive atm. Losing JKS and Jkaem rip 100T.

2020-10-27 13:08

it's a good thing that they're helping other teams improve at least, even though they disbanded :))

Yeah most of them can easily find new roster imo.

2020-10-27 13:27

+ liazz might jump to genG apparently

2020-10-27 14:47

nice superteam

Wow, that's interesting

SO EZ 4 EX-GRAYHOUND ERKAST YEWWWWWWWW YTB

RIP MATCHFIXERS TYLUL

do they even speak same language? lol

they will speak english

2020-10-27 14:35

ImpressioN and erkast have really good English, I have no idea about Xign or cbbk though

2020-10-27 14:42

Xign and cbbk not that great but still speak basic english.

2020-10-27 15:06

I've never seen any vocal interviews from them so I wouldnt know

2020-10-27 19:12

You can start by not eating weird animals

2020-10-27 15:08

Nice

Thailand Thotsaphon "⁠cbbk⁠" Suphatthanaphalaphon Wait, this has to be the longest surname i ever saw

is this team actually looking good or is it just another tyloo/vici that kinda sits in top30 for a while then disappears?

faze v2 , but with worst players, now they need a awper , xcuratte would be nice

2020-10-27 13:23

well at least asian faze has a proper igl i guess

2020-10-27 17:34

Everything depends on how much NG are willing to shell out $$$ for them to bootcamp in EU and Impression to get some experience learning strats there

2020-10-27 17:23

they could get an EU coach as well but tbf ive heard only good things about impression i remember asian cs always being so mechanically strong yet just tactically pretty average

WOOHOO LETS GO ERK AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

now +crazyguy and this has huge potential

I watch crazyguy stream everyday and asked him abt going Pro again and he said: he not interested in csgo anymore and want to go pro Valorant

2020-10-27 13:09

rip men, i actually liked him as an awper((((

MONGOLIA STRONG!

now some clutch/canccer awper ggggggggg

thai topson POG

+kaze or +xccurate and this team has potential

2020-10-27 13:11

2020-10-27 13:24

NG with kaze > ViCi with kaze

2020-10-27 21:42

Suphatthanaphalaphon wtf

2020-10-27 13:12

2020-10-27 13:14

2020-10-27 13:15

2020-10-27 13:40

On twitter before they announce cbbk

LETS GOOOOOOOO

mongol

2020-10-27 13:16

He is the real deal. Asian scene is baaack.

2020-10-27 13:19

Creating a superteam without a superstar? +Derek :))

nice asian superteam

I hope sk0r will join as well

No need to get retarded matchfixer scum. He deserve to play on tier 4 forever

I assume you are from mongolia and no fake flagger and actually who watches most of the games, any evidences for matchfixing? Would be interested to see

2020-10-27 13:44

everyone on d13 are apparently matchfixers. they’re pretty much hated by the community here in Mongolia

2020-10-28 00:04

oh but d13 isnt that bad right? I mean sk0r smashes enemies sometimes very hard

2020-10-28 08:04

yeah but they’re just bunch of throwers who eat other people’s tears for their own good

2020-10-28 17:37

doesnt sound that good but lets hope it will change( we both know that it wont change) best example is ramzik boss who is throwing back in the days and still

2020-10-28 17:46

who joins what?

Ez for Asian faZe

Surely xcc is next

2020-10-27 13:25

looking forward for the results ! GL

2020-10-27 13:29

gl legend!

2020-10-27 13:38

very nice

Another nice Kazakh team

2020-10-27 13:42

no Asian superteam without Bntet and Kaze,

2020-10-27 13:49

2020-10-27 14:26

which language they will communicate in?

2020-10-27 13:56

2020-10-27 23:45

I'm so hyped for this.

ME TOO! But if xcurrate join, my hype is gone

2020-10-27 18:57

And he is going to take the leading? It will be insane to see ImpressioN focusing on fragging. Sad that they picked up cbbk, because this core without him looks great.

2020-10-27 14:00

ImpressioN said on his stream he will be igling

2020-10-27 14:37

impression asian blamef

2020-10-27 15:31

Ahh, a little bit sad, but it means that we will see erkaSt focus on fragging, great thing to.

2020-10-27 18:58

+kaze and TOP 1 Asian team

THIS MATCHFIXER MUST BE BANNED

2020-10-27 14:16

NiKo joins NG

2020-10-27 14:18

asian superteam, interesting !

2020-10-27 14:19

Maybe this team is something to be excited about after all))

2020-10-27 14:20

2020-10-27 14:25

Asian Faze

2020-10-27 14:50

good luck!

2020-10-27 14:51

good player, good guy, good pickup, good luck

2020-10-27 14:52

This teams is looking really great. To be honest, I haven't heard about cbbk yet, but I guess he is a good player if they picked him! (anyone has more info on that guy?)

2020-10-27 14:57

he was on lucid dream . they were best thai team few months ago before they decided to disband. He was not a star player or anything

okok, thanks!

he was a support player on lucid dream. they got real big a while back and started playing big asian tournaments but then the team fell apart after a rough patch of events

2020-10-27 15:47

Seems like a decent team

2020-10-27 15:01

mixed asian team just a no talent team of english speakers

2020-10-27 15:02

SEA team in 2020 wtf POGGERS

who?

SEA = matchfixer, no need to know about this region. just full of corrupt

2020-10-27 15:14

this is the cleanest team SEA will produce tho

2020-10-28 06:49

i like ur opinion, maybe it will be. but same as dota 2, sea and ASIAN esport so corrupt, even this csgo team never achieve anything on t1 event. so highly possible they throw some matches to gain moneys and etc.

2020-10-28 11:07

I don't know anything about cbbk, but if they don't screw up last pick and manage to make these players work as a team - which i can imagine may take quite some time - this can be first solid Asia roster in long time. Would be nice to see. Tyloo is stagnating and ViCI is dragged down by bot advent for years now...

2020-10-27 15:15

ez for Suphatthanaphalaphon

2020-10-27 15:23

Matchfixer

2020-10-27 15:44

another ruined career

what does NG stand for?

2020-10-27 15:48

noname gaming

2020-10-27 16:09

If this team manage to beat Tyloo then it will be a success lol

i really like this roster so far

2020-10-27 15:55

btw the 5th player will be in the next few hours

How you know?

2020-10-27 17:12

they will debut tomorrow 28th

2020-10-27 17:17

lets goo i think last can be xcurrate

2020-10-27 16:42

2020-10-27 16:46

Good luck erkaSt and NG! erkaSt is pretty good player in my opinion and the roster looks pretty good, I hope NG will be successful!

2020-10-27 16:47

if they get xccurate then top 30 easily

2020-10-27 16:49

erkast is a beast, hopefully this team gets some attention soon

2020-10-27 16:57

This roster looks fire

2020-10-27 17:07

expecting xxcurate or splashske as 5th

2020-10-27 17:15

Yeah now this is a decent team. They only need an awper and it would be great if they can get Kaze but it feels kinda not possible

2020-10-27 17:39

I don’t think erkast is a household name in Asia lmao

2020-10-27 17:58

+1 lol that was so obviously exaggerated

2020-10-27 20:20

2020-10-27 21:35

NG BETTER THAN EG AND OMEGALULG

2020-10-27 21:47

Stupid move ! Still a sh1tty team ,and at the same time destroyed the best Mongolian team

2020-10-27 23:46

The fifth player is xccurate. I can confirm. Guysss i am insider

2020-10-28 00:39

lmao fpsthailand already leaked that on facebook nt bro

2020-10-28 06:42

+ kaze and top1 asian team rip tyloo, vici, btrg, mvp pk and tiger

2020-10-28 01:05

btrg disbanded already mvppk scum org doesnt pay to their players so disbanded too tiger without erkast is big joke, tiger is already dead vici is just a 1 tournament fluke nothing much

2020-10-28 06:41

good luck

2020-10-28 07:01

he is going after money joining up with mediocre players (english speaking is the main criteria for so called mixed asian team)...also stupid organization for putting money in such team

2020-10-28 10:32
