Last Sunday, August 24, 2025, the Esports World Cup (EWC) wrapped up its exciting schedule with the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) championship. Two strong teams, The MongolZ and Aurora, went head-to-head. They battled in a best-of-five series. This final match would finally crown a Tier S champion.
Neither team had ever won a top-level CS2 event before. The stage was set for a major showdown. Fate put them right against each other to decide the EWC final. The Mongolian team, The MongolZ, delivered a truly dominant performance. They swept the series.
The MongolZ secured a convincing 3-0 victory. This win brought smiles to their faces after a tough loss earlier this year. They had come so close at the BLAST Austin Major, only to fall to Vitality. Now, they finally claimed their organization’s first Tier S title in Valve’s popular first-person shooter.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE ESPORTS WORLD CUP 2025!

Besides the grand trophy, The MongolZ took home a hefty $500,000 prize. This money was part of the total $1.25 million distributed among all the competing teams. Looking ahead, the next big event at this level is the BLAST Open London. It will feature three well-known teams: FURIA, Legacy, and MIBR.
