Azbayar “Senzu” Munkhbold delivered one of the most outstanding performances at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 3 elimination match, setting the Major regulation kills record with 36 on Dust2 and vaulting The MongolZ into the playoffs.

His precision rifling and composure under pressure defined a thrilling 28-25 victory in regulation time over G2 Esports, marking a memorable individual showcase in CS2 Major history.

Record-Setting Performance

Senzu’s 36 kills highlighted his elite game sense and ability to secure crucial entries. Opening the series on Ancient, the MongolZ took an early lead with a commanding 13-6 win, establishing momentum that carried into Dust2.

On the second map, Senzu repeatedly clutched rounds and outmaneuvered G2’s defense, combining aggressive peeks with disciplined positioning to rack up kills in decisive moments.

Securing Playoff Berth

The victory secured The MongolZ's a 3-2 record, ensuring their progression to the Austin Major playoffs, cementing their place in the upper echelon of Counter-Strike.

Entering the decider match, The MongolZ needed a win after a loss to FaZe Clan, and Senzu’s record-breaking display delivered exactly that, silencing doubts about the team’s playoff potential .

Looking Ahead

Ranked among the world’s top five teams, The MongolZ will carry newfound confidence into the Austin Major playoffs. With Senzu in peak form, the Mongolian side pose a legitimate threat to established powerhouses, and fans can expect more electrifying performances as the tournament progresses.

Should Senzu maintain this level of play, his regulation kills record may set a new benchmark for future Majors.
