PGL to host $1 million tournament in Mongolia in 2027
PGL has announced that Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, will host the organizer's fourth event of 2027. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in China, but the location was moved to Mongolia following an exception granted by Valve.
The tournament will feature a $1 million prize pool, with $280,000 awarded to the grand prize winner. Additionally, $300,000 in VRS invite bonuses are available. Sixteen teams will compete in total: 14 will be invited based on the January 2027 VRS update, while the remaining two spots will be decided through qualifiers in Asia and Europe.
PGL Ulaanbaatar is set to take place less than a month before BLAST Open Ulaanbaatar 2027, making the Mongolian capital a dual hub for the tier-one Counter-Strike scene in quick succession. Ulaanbaatar's mayor, B. Purevdagva, stated that the event is expected to strengthen the city's reputation as a growing global hub for esports and digital culture.
