MongolZ Coach maaRaa Misses Bounty Finals and EWC
48 days agoErdenedalai "maaRaa" Bayanbat will not be present for The MongolZ during the BLAST Bounty Finals or the Esports World Cup, the organization confirmed. Despite his absence, he will maintain communication with the team to offer support from a distance.
This marks another significant absence for the 36-year-old coach, who also missed the Pro League playoffs and BLAST Open Rotterdam earlier this year. During those events, The MongolZ exited in the quarter-finals, which raises concerns about their performance in upcoming competitions.
The team recently qualified for the Bounty playoffs, showcasing a strong debut with players Zolbayar "tikuak" Chimedtseren and Dugarsuren "DarkMeister" Ireedui. However, the absence of maaRaa is seen as a major setback, particularly as they aim to defend their EWC title from 2025, a challenging task without their highly regarded coach, who was voted the second-best coach by his peers last year.
