The MongolZ announced that cobrazera has been moved to the bench, ending his time in the active lineup after approximately six months with the organization.
His removal follows another major offseason development:
mzinho departed for BC.Game

Updated MongolZ roster
| Player | Status |
|---|---|
| bLitz | Active |
| Techno | Active |
| 910 | Active |
| DarkMeister | Active |
| tikuak | Active |
| cobrazera | Benched |
Background
The remaining core of bLitz, Techno and 910 is expected to form the foundation of The MongolZ's next roster alongside new additions.
cobrazera joined The MongolZ at the end of 2025 after previously being benched elsewhere. His arrival completed the roster following the departure of Senzu and the end of controlez's stand-in period.
During his stint with The MongolZ he appeared in 96 maps and held a 1.02 HLTV Rating 3.0 across his time with the organization.
Although his overall numbers remained respectable, the organization has opted for a younger-looking lineup built around internal promotion and regional recruitment.
Why this matters
The MongolZ have been one of Asia's strongest Counter-Strike organizations over the last several seasons.
Replacing two starters during the offseason is therefore one of the team's biggest roster changes in recent memory.
Key implications include:
a fresh opportunity for academy talent to develop on the main roster;
additional experience for tikuak at Tier 1 competition;
an adjustment period before major international events;
uncertainty regarding cobrazera's competitive future.
The organization has not announced whether cobrazera remains available for transfer or whether he will continue under contract as a substitute.
