The MongolZ has climbed to first place in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS) for October 2025, moving from third place.
The October VRS is being used to determine which teams earn an invitation to the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 event taking place in November.
The MongolZ climbing to the top of the October VRS comes after the team won the Esports World Cup in August. Additionally, the Mongolian national team scored second-place finishes at BLAST Bounty Season 2 and FISSURE Playground 2.
The MongolZ knocks Team Spirit from the number one spot, which drops to fourth place after a top-16 placement at EWC and a top-eight finish during the online phase of BLAST Open London.
Elsewhere, FURIA is the big mover following its FISSURE Playground 2 victory. The Brazilian esports organisation’s international roster has moved up eight places from tenth to second.
Other notable movers include the rise of G2 Esports, which moves from 15th to seventh, and Astralis, which makes its return to the top ten for the first time in two months.
