Mongolian rifler Azbayar Senzu Munkhbold may become a new NAVI player. This is reported by EG STUDIO. According to their information, he is being considered as a replacement for captain Aleksib. The MongolZ had previously openly stated that they were ready to sell Senzu, and the player himself is interested in moving to an international team. If the transfer happens, it will become one of the loudest roster moves of the offseason.
The brightest rifler
Senzu is one of the most outstanding young riflers on the CS2 scene in 2025. He placed 13th in the annual HLTV ranking, helped The MongolZ win the Esports World Cup and reach the final of the Austin Major. At the end of the year the player was benched due to burnout, but his transfer value and media weight remained at the highest level.
NAVI, meanwhile, are in a rebuilding phase after an unstable season. The team regularly reached the playoffs of big tournaments but failed to consistently challenge the leaders. Rotation of key positions looks like a logical step for the organization in an effort to return to title contention.

Who may leave: the Aleksib situation
The replacement concerns Aleksib, who serves as captain and in-game leader. The Finnish player has spent more than two years with NAVI, won a Major in 2024, but recently the team has shown significant fluctuations in form.
His statistics over the last three months reflect a typical situation for an IGL: low rating but high involvement in team play. At the same time, NAVI management is reportedly considering a move toward a fragging leader model or even appointing a new captain.
Who may arrive: Senzu’s profile
Senzu is a prototypical representative of the new generation of aggressive riflers who combine high mechanical skill with calm confidence on big stages. At 19 he already has experience playing in the playoffs of a Major, stable statistics at Big Events, and the ability to take initiative in the most intense moments of a match. His strengths include a large number of opening duels, the ability to create space for teammates, and a readiness to adapt to different roles on the T side.
An important point is that Senzu himself does not hide his interest in an international roster, and The MongolZ have publicly declared their willingness to consider transfer offers. That is why a potential move to NAVI looks not just like a rumor, but a logical stage in his career development.
What this means for NAVI
If Senzu signs, NAVI will receive not just youthful reinforcement but a sharp increase in individual firepower on key positions. Such a transfer would almost certainly lead to a change in the team’s play model: the roster would be able to rely on more aggressive entries, early contacts, and a greater emphasis on mechanical dominance.
At the same time, it would signal a course toward rejuvenating the roster and moving to a long-term project built around bright individual stars. The main intrigue is the in-game leader role. If Aleksib leaves the team, NAVI will either have to appoint a new captain within the roster or rebuild the structure of play around a different leadership model.
Insider information
At the moment this is insider information rather than an official announcement. However, the combination of factors makes the transfer more than realistic: the organization itself confirmed readiness to let Senzu go for the right offer, the player is interested in an international roster, and NAVI are looking for ways to strengthen the squad after an inconsistent season.
Given Senzu’s status as one of the main talents of the year, his age, and his experience at major events, a move to NAVI looks like a logical step for both sides. The open question is whether the Ukrainian organization will be able to combine the growth of individual firepower with discipline and stability over the long term.
