The MongolZ move up a place in HLTV world rankings

The MongolZ have moved up a place in the HLTV World Rankings following the latest ranking update release which sees bLitz and co. move up to #8 position in the world rankings. The MongolZ now sit above the likes Spirit, G2, Astralis and FaZe.

The MongolZ most recently were in action at the BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 where they finished in 5-6th place, exiting in the quarter-finals after a 0-2 loss to Aurora. The MongolZ had beaten MOUZ, Liquid and Spirit in the tournament. They will be next seen in action at the PGL Bucharest 2026 event where they start as one of the favourites along with PARIVISION.

The other moves in the top 10 in HLTV's world ranking update released last night were Natus Vincere (NAVI), who finished runners up at the BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 event and their second place run saw them move up two places to #3 while PARIVISION's semi-final run also saw Jame and his boys move up a couple of places to #5. MOUZ's group stage exit hurt them the most in the top 10 as they dropped to #6 while Aurora and Spirit both dropped a place and are at #7 and #9 respectively.

In the Regional rankings -Asia, TYLOO made the biggest moves, moving up five places and are #2 in the Asian rankings with Lynn Vision also making up a place and are at #3 in the Asian rankings. Another Chinese team, Morningstar, also made up a couple of places, moving up to #7 while BnTeT and PokemoN's Alter Ego sits at #10 in the regional rankings.

The MongolZ remain the top Asian team in the Valve rankings as well with THUNDER dOWNUNDER at #2 ahead of FlyQuest, SemperFi and Lynn Vision who round out the top 5 in the Asian standings. While there are no Indian teams in the HLTV world rankings, Bhavi and Ph1NNN's Arise are at #28 in the Valve regional standings - Asia with Arise set to take part in the upcoming ESL Challenger League Season 51 Asia-Pacific Cup 3 later this week.
