cobrazera joins The MongolZ: Full roster confirmed ahead of 2026 CS2 season

The MongolZ have officially completed their Counter-Strike 2 roster for 2026 with the signing of Anarbileg “cobrazera” Uuganbayar, ending months of uncertainty following the benching of Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold.

The 20-year-old rifler joins after a breakout year with The Huns and is expected to make his debut with the team at upcoming Tier-1 events following the offseason break.

cobrazera replaces Senzu after months of roster instability

The move closes a chapter that began in October 2025, when The MongolZ made the shock decision to bench Senzu, the longest-standing member of the roster and one of the most influential figures in Mongolian Counter-Strike history.

At the time, the organization stated that the decision was made after “careful discussions between players and management”, acknowledging Senzu’s role in helping the team reach international relevance and historic success.

Senzu himself described the benching as deeply emotional, writing that leaving the team “felt like leaving my home” and reflecting on the memories built over several years together.

Why cobrazera joined late: Major eligibility rules explained

Although cobrazera had already been identified as a long-term target, he was unable to join immediately due to Major roster lock rules.
His former team, The Huns, had qualified for the StarLadder Budapest Major, which prevented player transfers between Major-qualified rosters.

As a result, The MongolZ entered the latter part of 2025 with a temporary solution.

controlez stand-in period: short-term fix, solid results

To bridge the gap, The MongolZ turned to Unudelger “controlez” Baasanjargal, who stood in for the team across several high-profile events, including:

IEM Chengdu

BLAST Rivals Season 2

StarLadder Budapest Major

Despite the pressure, controlez delivered stable performances and helped the team reach playoffs at multiple tournaments, averaging a 1.05 rating during his stand-in run.

His departure in late December left The MongolZ temporarily reduced to four players — a situation that made cobrazera’s signing inevitable once roster restrictions expired.

Player reactions: Techno on resilience, Senzu backs cobrazera

During the post-Senzu period, Techno addressed doubts surrounding the roster change, noting that the team managed to stabilize despite external criticism:

“Maybe people doubted about our new player and what would happen after Senzu was benched, but somehow we managed to bounce back.”

In a notable endorsement, Senzu himself later named cobrazera as his bold prediction for the future, stating that the young rifler has “the potential and the work ethic to become a Top 20 player.”

cobrazera’s stats and role in The MongolZ system

Cobrazera arrives after a highly productive year, having posted a 1.16 average rating across more than 200 maps in 2025. His profile fits The MongolZ’s long-standing philosophy of developing aggressive, mechanically gifted riflers capable of thriving in high-tempo systems.

The signing reinforces the team’s identity after a historic year in which they:

Won the Esports World Cup

Reached the top of the global rankings

Established themselves as Asia’s strongest CS2 representative

The finalized lineup now consists of:

Techno

910

mzinho

cobrazera

The team has opted to skip the opening BLAST Bounty event of 2026, prioritizing practice time and internal synergy before returning to official competition.

What’s next for The MongolZ?

With the roster finally locked, The MongolZ are expected to debut their new lineup at IEM Kraków, where cobrazera will face his first true Tier-1 test.

As one of the most closely watched non-European teams in CS2, their performance with a permanent fifth player will be a key storyline of the early 2026 season.
