The MongolZ bench Senzu in shock CS2 roster change

Following their third-placed finish at the Thunderpick World Championship 2025, The MongolZ have announced the shock benching of Senzu. This CS2 roster change comes almost a month out from the StarLadder Budapest Major, where The MongolZ were previously seen to be among the favorites for the event.

Why was Senzu benched from The MongolZ?

It’s not clear why The MongolZ have taken the decision to bench Senzu. In a statement on X, the organization said it was made “after careful discussions between players and management.” It has not yet been said if Senzu already has his next move lined up.

Today, we made the difficult decision to move Senzu to the bench.

Over the past years, Senzu and the boys have together written a new chapter in Mongolian esports, showcasing world class talent, dedication, and determination.
