ATOX bench Zesta

26-7-2024 21:00

The Mongolian team has made its second roster change of 2024.

Zesta leaves the team after eight months

ATOX have announced the benching of Munkhsaikhan "⁠Zesta⁠" Erdenebaatar, with the organization now entertaining offers for the 21-year-old.

The Mongolian roster recently broke into the top 50 of the world rankings and is currently the third-highest-ranked Asian squad after The MongolZ and Lynn Vision.

ATOX announced themselves as one of the region's top rosters by qualifying for the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen Asia RMR, where they placed fourth.

The team then replaced Otgonlhagva "⁠AccuracyTG⁠" Batjargal with Tuvshintugs "⁠Annihilation⁠" Nyamdorj in March and finished second at ESL Challenger League Season 47 Asia-Pacific to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 20.

M80, RED Canids, ATOX qualify for ESL Pro League Season 20

They also attended the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2024, where they took down OG in the opening round, but eventually had to settle for a 5-6th-placed finish.

ATOX are yet to announce a replacement for Zesta, who averaged a 1.02 rating across his eight months in the organization.

ATOX are now:

Gan-Erdene "⁠dobu⁠" Batbold
Bat-Enkh "⁠kabal⁠" Batbayar
Temuulen "⁠MiQ⁠" Byambadalai
Tuvshintugs "⁠Annihilation⁠" Nyamdorj

Tuguldur "⁠FlyNN⁠" Gansukh (coach)

Munkhsaikhan "⁠Zesta⁠" Erdenebaatar (benched)

wonder who they'll get, hopefully yami?

2024-07-26 21:13

That's what I'm thinking too but he's inactive for a little bit so idk. It would also be nice to see sk0r on a salaried team again.

Xerolte is going to bootcamp with CW, then its not. Yami would be possible.

2024-07-27 00:21

> THANK YOU! Zesta It's impossible to say how much you mean to this team > kicked LOL. all these send off "nice" words are all so fake. doesnt matter big or small teams

2024-07-26 23:18

yes just BS really

2024-07-27 01:29

a send off tweet mentioning about the contributions to the team and well wishes for his next endeavour would be so much more genuine

2024-07-27 12:03

Why is MiQ still here tho? AS for Zesta's replacement maybe they'll go Yami. Maybe they nab Sk0r from the Huns to add more firepower?

2024-07-27 02:05

MiQ has a very high ceiling.

2024-07-27 10:51

I mean yeah but his floor is even worse than what Zesta was doing. ATOX need to get more consistent even if their ceiling is a bit worse to trult establish themselves over Lynn Vision and TYLOO. Sk0r and Yami are good picks imo but idk if roles match
