The MongolZ made a shocking lineup adjustment, with core player Senzu suddenly being substituted.

After winning third place in the 2025 Thunderpick World Championship, The MongolZ caused a stir in the global Counter-Strike 2 circle. The team announced that core player Senzu was officially removed from the main lineup and placed on the bench.

This sudden change happened only one month before the StarLadder Budapest Major, and The MongolZ had previously been considered the favorite to win the tournament. The news immediately attracted public attention.

The MongolZ released a statement on social media platform X, saying that this decision was made after careful consideration by the players and management. The statement read: "Today, we have made the difficult decision to move Senzu to the bench."

"Over the past few years, Senzu and his teammates have written a new chapter for The MongolZ, demonstrating world-class talent, dedication, and determination. This decision was made after careful discussions between the players and management."

“We sincerely thank our fans for their continued support and respect as the team moves forward. Senzu remains an exceptional player, and we wish him the best in the next phase of his career.”

Senzu was a key player in The MongolZ's rise to prominence. Not only did he help the team reach the top of the Valve regional standings, he was also a key member of the 2025 Esports World Cup champion and BLAST.tv Austin Major runner-up lineup.

With his stable shooting skills and calm performance, Senzu is known as the representative of The MongolZ on the field. However, the team did not disclose the specific reason for Senzu's replacement, nor did they announce his next move. The details are still pending further news.
