The 28-year-old veteran will remain in the active roster following the unexpected benching of Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold, who stepped down before IEM Chengdu due to burnout. The organization officially announced the decision in a Telegram post, confirming that controlez will finish the season with the lineup.

From Austin Major to The MongolZ

Before that, controlez represented Chinggis Warriors at the Austin Major, delivering several strong individual performances. However, this still marks a noticeable drop in firepower compared to Senzu, who had been one of The MongolZ ’s highest-rated riflers.

Dominant 2025 campaign

Despite roster changes, 2025 has been a historic season for The MongolZ . The team reached the Austin Major grand final, briefly climbed to #1 in the VRS world rankings, and won the Esports World Cup, marking the most successful year in Mongolian Counter-Strike history.

Current The MongolZ roster

• Garidmagnai “⁠bLitz⁠” Byambasuren
• Sodbayar “⁠Techno⁠” Munkhbold
• Usukhbayar “⁠910⁠” Banzragch
• Ayush “⁠mzinho⁠” Batbold
• Unudelger “⁠controlez⁠” Baasanjargal (stand-in)
• Coach: Erdenedalai “⁠maaRaa⁠” Bayanbat
• Benched: Azbayar “⁠Senzu⁠” Munkhbold

The MongolZ ’s next appearance will be at IEM Chengdu 2025, where they’ll aim to secure qualification for the upcoming Budapest Major — the final CS2 Major of the year.
