MESA to hold $100,000 LAN in Mongolia

17-4-2024 13:33

OG, TheMongolz, and Lynn Vision have accepted invites for Nomadic Masters Spring 2024, which will be held at the Steppe Arena in Ulaanbaatar.

TheMongolz will fight for the title on home soil

The Mongolian Esport Association (MESA) has announced Nomadic Masters Spring 2024, a $100,000 arena LAN event in the country's capital of Ulaanbaatar, and a Fall edition to occur with the same prize pool.

Taking place from May 28 to June 2, the tournament organizer says its main goal is to "foster regular competition between Asian and top European teams," with two European teams penned in for invites.

OG is the first of the European teams to have received an invite, joining Asia's top dogs The MongolZ and Lynn Vision as the first three confirmed attendees.

The two opening rounds of the tournament's upper bracket will be best-of-ones before the event switches to best-of-threes for the elimination games on day two and beyond.

The double-elimination bracket will play out in a studio for the first two days before moving to the 2600-capacity Steppe Arena for the last four series, where a champion will be crowned in a best-of-five final.

Nomadic Masters Spring 2024 is a successor to the Nomadic Masters Spring 2022 LAN held in the same arena that also functioned as Asia's BLAST Spring Showdown qualifier. MESA also hosted the fractious BLAST.tv Paris Major Asia RMR.

The slot distribution is as follows:

The MongolZ

Asia Invite No. 3

TBA

Lynn Vision

EU Invite No. 2

Mongolia Qualifier

TBA

they have a lot of money to "buy" spots and not good enough team to not play in those tournaments

2024-04-17 22:48

ez for mongolz

honesty they shouldnt have invited chinese teams because they never invite mongolian teams at their own tournament like chengdu and other big tournament

I get what you're saying, but Chengdu isn't the example you're looking for lmao. It's not like the "chinese" had any say in whl got invited there

besides, Mongolz would never have made it to Chengdu in time anyways since Monte's withdrawal was a very last minute thing and Mongolians still would've needed visas for this.

FYI Mongolians don't need visa to visiting China for 3 months

they can not attend by tourist 30 days visa. they must apply "working visa" to attend events

2024-04-18 05:21

Alright my bad ☺️👌

2024-04-19 03:11

goodluck bro

2024-04-20 15:10

Playing profesional sports tournament doesn't count as visiting, it counts as work, and they need a visa for that

2024-04-18 10:35

they invite mongolz for extremeland why you hating

2024-04-18 05:30

They were notorious for pulling out on xse pro league s2 at the last minute, and events like iem don’t invite; you have to play for it in a qualifier. The mongolz don’t attend small tournaments that wont improve their ESL/valve/blast rankings so idk what ur saying

2024-04-23 09:20

True for CAC though, and wings up substituted for that event after g2 announced that they would miss out on CAC instead of the mongolz. Idt ESL is a Chinese organization so has nothing to do with Chengdu

2024-04-23 09:47

W Mongolz

2024-04-17 13:34

OG trying to go everywhere for events LULZ

trying to get some valve rankings

2024-04-17 14:53

2024-04-17 13:35

Lol

2024-04-18 01:47

Nice to see more TOs getting smaller LANs going

2024-04-17 13:36

why OG gets invite everytime?

3 replies

Tier 1.5 team, so they're first in line after tier1 teams decline.

2024-04-17 14:31

OG’s just accepting whatever they can get lmao not surprising considering they don’t get to attend many LANs now.

2024-04-17 14:40

I think its because of 1xbet. Its main sponsor will be 1xbet ig

2024-04-17 15:41

Tyloo wont get invited lol

why invite a loser team that’ll never improve anyways

2024-04-17 13:42

2024-04-17 13:44

no, invite renegades

2024-04-17 13:46

No, invite VOXEminor

2024-04-17 20:10

OG was invited

2024-04-17 14:45

rather OG than TYLOO

There is 1 more Asia invite and I hope it isn't a Mongolian team as they have a close quali, also there are 2 more unannounced slots

2024-04-17 15:58

should invite Rare Atom, at least they look decent :v

2024-04-20 15:11

I would prefer an open quali but with an invite Rare Atom deserves it, I hope Risk steps up or is changed for tiger

2024-04-20 16:05

YIPPEE mongolia best country

2024-04-17 13:40

ofc OG here too

OG farming money

2024-04-17 13:41

preparing for 2025)

How OG always get invitations on these tournies? Rio, now Mongolia

god knows haha

Probably cuz better teams reject the invite both cuz of schedule and cuz location so because they have no other important tournaments they have the time to fly to those events

2024-04-17 15:19

OG are the perfect punching bag. Always lose, but still a recognised name that will draw viewers.

2024-04-17 20:09

>Top European teams >OG

2024-04-17 13:43

mongolia goated

2024-04-17 13:45

WWWWW

2024-04-17 13:48

holy shit Asia scene GOATED

2024-04-17 13:49

Thats fucking awesome. Such a big addition to the asian circuit. (i pray it runs smoothly)

2024-04-17 13:51

why did u edit it?

2024-04-17 14:16

added the bottom line.

2024-04-17 14:29

+1 its huge

2024-04-17 17:39

make EF play in this one

2024-04-17 13:55

YESSSS

2024-04-17 13:59

WOW 100K$ FOR ASIA ITS GOOD.

Why do these small organizers always invite t3 OG? Like at least invite some t2 team that's playing well and doesn't get many opportunities, not fucking OG lol

2024-04-17 14:04

12 replies

not many teams would probably want to go to Mongolia of all places :D

2024-04-17 14:06

Well it's a LAN, I guess many t2 teams would love a shot at one

2024-04-17 14:20

that’s dependent on the location.

2024-04-17 14:26

and whats wrong with mongolia?

It's quite difficult to travel to Mongolia ATM because of reluctance to fly over Ukraine and Russia

2024-04-17 14:58

what? you can just fly through istanbul. yet there is many other options

2024-04-17 15:16

My mistake had a brain collapse

2024-04-17 15:18

U have direct flights from Germany.

2024-04-17 16:47

Yeah I had a brain freeze moment my bad

2024-04-17 17:52

tech pauses because of poor pcs but it depends on the organizers, the blast rmr set in Ulaanbaatar was bad most likely got to do with the poor electricity services locally though, like electricity just goes off for absolutely no reasons, I remember the mongolz had to forfeit a match against tyloo because of power outages and now they relocated to Vietnam for online qualifiers

2024-04-23 09:37

of course those teams are refusing the invites

2024-04-17 14:17

go look on og result they literally beat so many tier 2 teams already

2024-04-18 10:32

asian CS getting more promising

2024-04-17 14:05

Lets go! Mongolia probably packed with talent

OG OMEGALUL

2024-04-17 14:10

It's a shame flyquest are not invited

2024-04-17 14:13

Theyre playing dallas at the same time

2024-04-18 09:35

no blast involvement so they may try to be competent this time

ez4mongolz

they should invite a brazilian team

2024-04-17 14:19

Big events in Brazil, India and now Mongolia. Pretty sick!

2024-04-17 14:21

Holy smokes, what an advantage for that upper bracket team in the finals. That lower bracket team will need to play a BO3 before playing in the BO5 finals. Thats already a huge advantage. Also, ++ for having BO5 finals. More competitions need BO5s

2024-04-17 14:24

bringing back mr15 solves everything. mr12 is way too short not interesting. no competitive potential

2024-04-17 14:47

+1. It's so funny how cs2 managed to do so many things wrong, going to mr12 being one of them

2024-04-17 15:15

How does this comment have anything to do with what i wrote? A BO3 being played on the same day as a BO5 is nothing new, it happened many times in csgo too.

2024-04-17 20:26

cool

2024-04-17 14:30

Cool

My first thought when I read MESA: mesa3d.org/

2024-04-17 14:43

OG wasted spot

2024-04-17 14:44

This is the same weekend as IEM Dallas so don't expect any high tier teams

2024-04-17 17:53

So many people in here are showing jealousy because their favorite team isn’t good enough to get an invite 😂😂😂

They only invited OG so asian teams have some EU tier 3 team to hammer 😂😂😂

2024-04-18 02:35

ez4themongolz go kill him bliz

2024-04-17 14:55

nice to see some smaller lans

Letsgoooo Mongolz

2024-04-17 15:02

Ez4Mongolz

2024-04-17 15:03

Good for the Tier 2 scene, good for Asian CS and a decent chance for Mongolz to make a deep run at their home LAN No complaints here

2024-04-17 15:05

Kong Bei Qie Last time the RMR was scheduled to be played in the Ice Hockey Arena but finally changed to hotel, Kaze's illness and server failure made it notorious, even Loba couldn't save the tournament and criticized about this Have a nice event this time PS LVG's only LAN from April to September

you can also criticize whole cs2 and its shame major. i would like u describe its downsides too

2024-04-17 15:20

bro just be happy lvg got lan tournament and mongolians actually invited them bruh

2024-04-18 10:34

nice, lets go mongolz

2024-04-17 15:17

Why OG lol such a horrible team

2024-04-17 15:35

LVG got so many direct invite after qualify for major. Good for them!

2024-04-17 15:54

real Major

2024-04-17 15:57

Why OG keep getting invited?

2024-04-17 16:07

1. OG is not an ESL partner, having no official tournament until July 2. OG is a famous esports organization which Asians are familiar with in DotA2

2024-04-17 16:50

>OG is a famous esports organization which Asians are familiar with in DotA2 only in giving the chinese despair by robbing them of trophies right in front of them :v

2024-04-18 01:13

actually hype, I hope we get more asian lans! Extremesland pls return

2024-04-17 16:08

2024-04-17 18:49

Mongolz showing pity to OG lol

2024-04-17 16:19

Bo3 and Bo5 on the same day, rough

2024-04-17 16:24

Tier3 teams for 100k$?

2024-04-17 16:28

Nice for the Mongolian scene <3

2024-04-17 16:33

Glad for another bo5 final, but should be on its own day

2024-04-17 16:38

ez 100k

2024-04-17 17:21

read it as "MENSA" in Mongolia

2024-04-17 17:24

as a mongolian i can finally take revenge for all the money i lost betting on og

2024-04-17 18:12

honesty they shouldnt have invited chinese teams because they never invite mongolian teams at their own tournament like chengdu

The fact that Mongolia has same amount of LAN events in CS2 as NA is crazy.

2024-04-17 18:34

pls invite Bigetron, I want to see those NA duo on LAN

2024-04-17 18:38

these meaningless invites are getting out of hand

2024-04-17 18:48

2024-04-17 19:18

Good news. Hopefully they get some/any tier1 teams to go.

2024-04-17 19:22

hell yeah, love to see another country coming into the upper tier circuit. next major in Mongolia?

2024-04-17 19:40

Nomadic Masters? Why is it in just one place then?

2024-04-17 22:36

because Mongolia is known as nomad cultured country

2024-04-18 00:33

We don't have any other big stadium outside of Ulaanbaatar.

2024-04-18 02:54

Very interesting

ez 50k invest for blitz and boys

2024-04-18 05:25

maybe og can finally win a lan

2024-04-18 06:08

just maybe

2024-04-18 10:40

raise it to 300,000 and make 16 slots

2024-04-18 06:17

go ahead and contact the TOs with your offer to sponsor +200k price money and additional money for travel expenses for 8 more teams.

2024-04-18 11:14

did i hurt your feelings?

2024-04-18 15:05

sorry mens, i don't have feelings

2024-04-18 21:18

Great for the Asian scene. HF my Mongolian friends!

2024-04-18 09:41

yea of course OG gets invited hahah, do they have secrets of orgs or what are they doing

2024-04-18 23:22

This is so amazing! Great to see smaller lans and T2 teams getting a chance to lift a trophy whilst improving their game. The opening of the CS circuit by Valve was by far the best decision they have made

2024-04-21 15:21
