IHC Esports have officially disbanded their Counter-Strike 2 roster, closing the chapter on one of Mongolia’s most historically significant Counter-Strike teams.

The organization originally entered Counter-Strike in March 2022 after acquiring the Checkmate lineup, featuring bLitz, Techno4K, Bart4k, kabal, nin9, sk0R, with maaRaa joining as head coach during the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive era.

According to Liquipedia.net, IHC’s first tournament under the organization was MESA Nomadic Masters: Spring 2022, held in March 2022. Shortly after, the team achieved its most historic milestone by placing 1st at the Asia-Pacific RMR for PGL Major Antwerp 2022.

That victory made history for Mongolian Counter-Strike, as IHC became the first-ever Mongolian team to receive Major team stickers, along with individual player stickers—following erkaSt’s earlier sticker appearance with Grayhound Gaming.

According to data from ggscore.com, IHC Esports competed primarily in the SEA & Oceania region, playing their first recorded match on February 8, 2022. Over their competitive run, the team participated in approximately 51 tournaments, playing 271 matches and securing 166 wins, with a longest winning streak of nine consecutive matches between February 15 and March 26, 2022.

Beyond Counter-Strike, IHC Esports also made a significant impact across multiple esports titles, playing a key role in Mongolia’s rise on the global stage.

In PUBG Mobile, the organization acquired ZEUS Esports on January 2021—a roster that had previously finished 3rd at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2020. Under the IHC banner, the team reached new heights, crowned the Champion title of the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2023, marking one of the greatest achievements in Mongolian esports history.

IHC also fielded competitive rosters in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Dota 2, and VALORANT. Notably, the IHC Dota 2 roster earned a silver medal at the Asian Games Hangzhou 2023, further cementing the organization’s legacy beyond esports-only tournaments.

Across titles and generations, IHC Esports stood as one of Mongolia’s most accomplished multi-title organizations, leaving a lasting footprint on both regional and international competition.

As IHC step away from Counter-Strike 2, they leave behind far more than results or trophies. Their journey—from Major qualifications and historic stickers to world championship titles across multiple games—helped redefine what Mongolian teams could achieve internationally. Rosters may change and eras may end, but IHC Esports’ name will remain permanently etched in the history of Mongolian esports.
