The MongolZ are ready to consider transfer offers for Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold. This has been reported by sources close to the situation, as well as information published by HLTV. The organization has already instructed ULTI Agency to find a new team for the player, effectively confirming that Senzu is officially available on the transfer market.
Senzu’s status and the reason behind the benching
Senzu has been inactive since October 2025. At that time, The MongolZ unexpectedly moved him to the bench, explaining the decision as the result of “careful internal discussions between the players and management.” No further details were disclosed publicly, immediately sparking widespread speculation within the community.
Crucially, the benching was not related to performance issues. On the contrary, up until October, Senzu remained one of the core pieces of the roster and consistently delivered at a Tier-1 level.

The 2025 season: why Senzu is an elite asset
Despite missing the final stretch of the season — including the Budapest Major — Senzu’s impact throughout 2025 was so significant that it earned him 13th place in HLTV’s Top 20 Players of the Year ranking. During the first nine months of the season with The MongolZ, he:
- won the Esports World Cup;
- reached the finals of three major tournaments;
- became one of the defining figures behind the historic rise of the Mongolian scene to Tier-1 competition.
This period firmly established Senzu not as a high-upside prospect, but as a ready-made player for top-tier teams.
Return rumors and a sudden turn
Toward the end of the year, Senzu appeared alongside three other The MongolZ players on Mongolia’s version of The Tonight Show. This public appearance was widely interpreted as a signal that he could reclaim his spot in the starting lineup for the 2026 season.
However, on December 31, the situation changed dramatically. The MongolZ announced the signing of 20-year-old cobrazera from The Huns. This move effectively filled the vacant roster spot and made it clear that Senzu was no longer part of the team’s plans.
Player stance: aiming for an international roster
According to sources, Senzu is focused on continuing his career in an international lineup. He is ready to return to active competition immediately and is not considering an extended period on the sidelines. This significantly broadens the pool of potential buyers and makes the transfer especially attractive for organizations looking for instant Tier-1 firepower without a lengthy adaptation period.
Community reaction: shock, memes, and transfer calls
The news triggered a strong reaction across social media. The overall tone ranged from irony and memes to genuine confusion.
- Fans actively joked about 100 Thieves, calling Senzu “the perfect Top 20 player on the market.”
- Many supporters openly questioned The MongolZ’s decision, struggling to understand the logic behind benching one of the region’s strongest players.
- Others expressed concerns that Senzu’s sale might be the result of internal issues rather than a long-term strategic plan.
- At the same time, more radical discussions emerged about potential moves to top European or Saudi-backed projects that could significantly shift the competitive balance.
The general sentiment is clear: a player of exceptional caliber has entered the market, and opportunities like this are extremely rare.

What this transfer means for the market
Senzu’s availability could become one of the defining transfers of the 2026 off-season:
- for The MongolZ, it represents a final roster reshaping and a commitment to a new dynamic;
- for the market, it is a rare chance to sign a young yet fully proven Tier-1 player;
- for Senzu himself, it offers an opportunity to reboot his career in a new environment and confirm his star status outside the Mongolian system.
The question is no longer whether there will be interest — but who will make the first move.
