“I left on my own, and it was 100% my decision”
Senzu explained that his departure from The NKT was not due to disciplinary issues or pressure from the organization — he decided to leave the team himself.
There is a misunderstanding regarding my departure from NKT. I left the team on my own, and it was 100% my decision. Initially, they wanted me to play for 7 days on a trial period. But I stayed for 6 months and received only two salaries.

The player also noted that his colleague, coach Machinegun , did not receive full payment despite his dedicated work.
Debts, unpaid wages, and despair
According to Senzu , after terminating the contract with The NKT, he and his colleagues were left in a difficult situation. The organization allegedly failed to fulfill its financial obligations, and the players had to spend their own money on living expenses during the bootcamp.
After we left, we were left at the NKT Valorant team's bootcamp for 10 days. We spent our money just to survive. When we returned to Mongolia, we had no money. Machinegun had just had a baby, and he needed help. We made the worst decision in that situation.
Senzu admitted that some of his actions at that time were wrong, but added that those events made him stronger and helped him rethink his life.
“The MongolZ solved all my problems”
After moving to The MongolZ , the situation changed drastically. The organization helped the player settle all debts and officially resolve financial issues with the former club.
When I joined MongolZ , they solved all my problems — they paid the ransom and the money I owed NKT. I don't want to have enemies and I don't want to change the past because everything that happened made me who I am today.
A recent step back
However, just a few days ago, Senzu was benched in The MongolZ . This was the first roster change the team made in over two years. The organization did not disclose the reasons but stated that the decision was made “after joint discussions between players and management.” Currently, Senzu remains under contract, although his future is uncertain.
The MongolZ is a leading team from Mongolia, which became one of the main revelations on the global Counter-Strike 2 scene in 2025. The team won the YaLLa Compass 2024 , Thunderpick World Championship 2024 , and Esports World Cup 2025, proving that the Mongolian scene can compete with the best teams in the world.
