Senzu revealed as #13 in HLTV's Top 20 Players of 2025

Senzu has created history by becoming the first player from a fully Asian team and the first-ever Mongolian player to be featured on HLTV's Top 20 Players of the Year list. The benched Mongolian rifler makes his maiden appearance in the HLTV list at #13 in the Top 20 Players of 2025.

Having put up a 1.12 rating for The MongolZ in 2025, Senzu played a key role whenever The MongolZ made deep runs at major events. After a strong year with the team, the 19-year old was benched in late October 2025, and remains on The MongolZ's bench as the team have brought in cobrazera as his full-time replacement. After starting slow at IEM Katowice 2025, where he had a rating of 0.87 that saw The MongolZ finish in 3-4th place, Senzu then stepped up and was crucial to The MongolZ's success. While The MongolZ weren't able to lift many trophies and fell short in the Playoffs, Senzu's consistency was unmatched and he was the fourth highest rated player at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, where his 1.30 rating saw The MongolZ finish second to Vitality.

He continued to put in strong numbers and put up another strong showing at the Esports World Cup 2025 with a 1.18 rating, where The MongolZ lifted their only LAN title of the year. His final tournament of the year was the Thunderpick World Championship 2025, where The MongolZ finished in 3-4th place but it was Senzu finishing as the highest-rated player in the event with a 1.23 rating.

Playing at the top level since 2021, Senzu had had a short stint with The MongolZ in 2022 before spending time with NKT between November 2022 and September 2023. He returned to The MongolZ in 2023 to replace hasteka and has won two notable LAN titles during his time with The MongolZ, with those being the YaLLa Compass 2024 and the Esports World Cup 2025. He has also received EVPs at various events such as the YaLLa Compass 2024, Esports World Cup 2025, FISSURE Playground 2, Thunderpick World Championship 2025 and was a Major EVP at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.

In his first-ever HLTV Top 20 Players of the Year appearance, Senzu has placed above the likes of XANTARES, NiKo and b1t and he has chosen cobrazera, the player who replaced him on The MongolZ, as his bold prediction.

"He (cobrazera) has the potential and the work ethic to become a Top 20 player next year."
