ATOX have established themselves as one of the strongest teams in Asia, breaking into the top 50 in the rankings after a second-placed finish in ESL Challenger League Season 47 Asia-Pacific, which earned them a spot in the next season of ESL Pro League.

The Mongolian team has been placed in Group D, along with Vitality, Liquid, Virtus.pro, Falcons, FURIA, ENCE, and RED Canids. It will be the first time that ATOX will compete on LAN outside their region.

The new ATOX roster will make its first appearance in the Asian closed qualifier for IEM Rio. Scheduled for August 1-2, the tournament will see four teams duke it out in a double-elimination bracket for a spot at the Brazilian event.

With this move, the Mongolian team is now:

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