Back in April, Team NKT announced a roster shuffle leaving Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold on the bench. The performance on the server was perhaps not the only reason why the 16-year-old Mongolian was axed.

Yesterday Team NKT tweeted this about the Senzu.

Teammate Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand quickly followed up on the tweet explaining in detail what had gone wrong. 

- I can personally confirm that this is 100% true. We have screenshots that show senzu confessing to us. What actually happened is that he gambled our skins that we lent to him and subsequently lost them. He then attempted to lie to us and avoid paying us back.

The future of Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold is unknown. Team NKT informs, that "at the present time, Senzu will remain under contract with Team NKT and will not be allowed to participate in any trials or tournaments without our permission."

Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand has joined Team NTK, the organization announced on Friday. The Indonesian brings a lot of experience to the team and will hope to help NTK strengthen their team moving forward.

The 27-year-old Indonesian was last part of TYLOO before he was released back in September after the team failed to qualify for the IEM Road to Rio Asia RMR. It was BnTeT’s second stint with the Chinese team, which he previously represented in 2017-2019.

Apeks is currently on the market for a new fifth after announcing the benching of the legendary Frenchman Richard “shox” Papillon earlier this week. The veteran rifler was demoted after only two months on the roster, why the Norwegians now are on the lookout for a replacement.

On Apeks’ Twitter, the organization have offered an update regarding the situation stating that they have begun trials with the former TYLOO and EXTREMUM player Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand. In the upcoming officials, the Indonesian is set to take over the in-game leader duties for a temporary period, Apeks confirm.

With Apeks testing BnTeT as their new in-game leader, it looks like Martin "STYKO" Styk has been stripped of the important title. A role which STYKO took over after Apeks decided to bench the former captain Asger "AcilioN" Larsen back in July. However, now it seems they are heading in another direction after only having tested the new setup for a couple of months.

TyLoo

On Saturday, TYLOO announced that they had decided to revamp their roster with the signings of WingHei “Freeman” Cheung and Junsheng “aristo” Jin, who both are going to replace Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand and YuanZhang “Attacker” Sheng on the active lineup.

The roster changes come a month after the team failed to qualify for the Asia RMR, which destroyed their opportunity to secure a spot in the Major for the first time in about 6 years.

BnTeT, who rejoined TYLOO earlier this year after short stints with Gen:G Esports and EXTREMUM, will have to say goodbye to the organization for the second time in his career as his impact wasn’t a big game changer this time around. Attacker, on the other hand, will remain benched until a transfer offer comes up, or he’s called upon.

The new lineup will play their first international matches at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown event, which kicks off on October 19. TYLOO secured a spot in the tournament after finishing in first place at the 5E Arena Asia Cup 2022.

MIBR was eliminated from the IEM Cologne Play-In after a spectacular 4k from the in-game leader of TYLOO, Hansel 'BnTeT' Ferdinand. In a 3v5 situation, he single-handedly staved off elimination for the Asian roster.

The Indonesian rifler found himself on A Short on Dust2 when four players came running against him. Luckily he was equipped with the M4A4 so he had enough bullets to take them all down.

TYLOO has acquired the profiled rifler Hansel ”BnTeT” Ferdinand, the Chinese organization has announced on Twitter this Tuesday. This marks the second spell for BnTeT at TYLOO, as he also represented the team from 2017-2019 before joining the North Americans from Gen.G Esports.

The 26-year-old states that he will take on the in-game leader role on the roster, which also contains the likes of Haowen “somebody” Xu and YuLun “Summer” Cai.

- It’s time to get back to work again! Feels good to be back! Gonna be the IGL for the team and I will do my very best! cheers everyone, BnTeT wrote on Twitter.

BnTeT arrives at TYLOO after a disappointing 12-month period with EXTREMUM, where he and the former 100 Thieves core didn't manage to cement their name at the top of CS:GO. 

The Aaron "AZR" Ward-led side were all benched in October, after failing to qualify for the PGL Stockholm Major.

EXTREMUM

There are plenty of pros out there who had a lot of good ideas about what could change in the game, maybe something they are dissatisfied with, or just or whatever something they think is missing.

RivalryCSGO asked different pro players like EliGE, mantuu and GuardiaN what they would add to CS: GO if they could.

Despite being ranked as the 39th. best team in the world, according to the official HLTV rankings, EXTREMUM is proving themselves in front of the entire Counter-Strike scene. Coming off the back of three 2-0 victories they have once again managed to take their opponent down in an impressive fashion. The EXTREMUM roster, build around the core of the previous Renegades roster, was more than up for the task when facing AGO. In quick succession, they tore apart the Polish roster and managed another 2-0 victory. 

The first map took place on Dust 2. The map was picked by AGO, however, it was clear that EXTREMUM was the better roster on the day. Despite the fact that AGO managed to keep it close in the first half of Dust 2, it became too much for them to handle in the second round. Posting a strong and aggressive T-sided half EXTREMUM swept away their Polish opponents and closed map one at the scoreline of 16-9. 

The second map was chosen by the side of EXTREMUM and was to be played on Inferno. With momentum carrying over from their impressive second half on Dust 2, there was little discussion to be had on Inferno. Once again it was the T-side of EXTREMUM that allowed them to take an instrumental lead in the first half, only allowing AGO 3 rounds. Staying composed and concentrated they finished Inferno 16-4 and thereby also the series 2-0. 

The victory against AGO means that EXTREMUM will face fnatic in their next round of play in order to further advance at the Spring Sweet Spring 1 event.

EXTREMUM is an organization backed by private investors, with the two leading figures of the project being Emir “sngz” Udvincic as Head of Business Development and Evgeniy “aBi” Kuzmin as Sports Director.

The team consist of the Oceanic trio Jay “Liazz” Tregillgas, Aaron “AZR” Ward, and Sean “Gratisfaction” Kaiwai, as well as Joakim “jkaem” Myrbostad from Norway, and former TYLOO player Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand.

You have the opportunity to learn more about the players and coach Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunovic in a short interview. The players and coach have to answer on 25 questions and pick between some tough topics for us to meet them.

Liazz

After months of speculation it is finally revealed that the former four players from 100 Thieves in Aaron "AZR" Ward, Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad, Jay "Liazz" Tregillgas, and Sean "Gratisfaction" Kaiwai once again are going to be reunited, only this time with the addition of Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand who replaces Justin "jks" Savage's place. 

Alongside the acquisition of a new roster, Extremum have also announced that the players' former Head Coach Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović will be joining the organization. In-game, however, it is going to be "AZR" who is calling the shots. The 28-year-old is not without any experience as he was also the in-game leader of the 100 Thieves roster. 

"AZR" explains in a statement regarding the news, how moving to Europe is part of the upcoming plans for the new roster: 

"They offered me the chance to help them put together a team and I accepted the offer. It has already been a great joy working with them and seeing what their vision for the brand is great." 

He furthermore expresses his eagerness to get back into the professional Counter-Strike scene as well as now competing against some of the best teams in the world in Europe: 

"I am so excited to play CS with my good old teammates Liazz, Grats, Jkaem, and kassad, and with our new teammate BnTeT, who will be a great addition to the team. We're looking forward to playing in Europe and grinding against the best in the world. The boys are back!"

100 Thieves

With Cloud9 parting ways with their former Head Coach Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović it is no surprise that they are looking for a new Coach to guide the roster. "kassad" said his goodbyes with the Cloud9 organization after a clash with the British in-game leader Alex "ALEX" McMeekin. 

Cloud9's General Manager Henry "HenryG" Greer states, in an interview with Rush B Media, that: 

"While nothing has been made official as of yet, it is no secret that we are in deep talks with Elmapuddy." 

He carries on by praising the young Australian Coach: 

"He's an absolutely fantastic coach and negotiations are going extremely well. I can't wait to update you all later in the week." 

Chris "Elmapuddy" Tebbit isn't without experience as he was hired as Coach for Gen.G. Last December, however, Gen.G transfer-listed both "Elmapuddy" alongside Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand, Kenneth "koosta" Suen, and Timothy "autimatic" Ta. 

If Cloud9 succeed in signing "Elmapuddy" as well as newly rumored Erick "Xeppaa" Bach, the future of Cloud9 is without any doubt an intersting and promising one.

Gen.G

At the start of 2020 Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand was the first Asian player to leave the region to compete in one of the big CS:GO regions.

The Indonesian swapped TYLOO for the North American team Gen.G and has been one of the most consistent on the NA roster in 2020.

But late last year the North Americans revealed that the entire roster had been put on the transfer list, and therefore allowing them to seek out new opportunities. For Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand this has been a blessing in disguise.

- It was a decision from the organization, but I understand it and still have a positive outlook on this situation. I think it's good for both of us. My plans are obviously to play in Europe or North America. I want to play in Europe because I feel that every top team will be there. And yes, I've received some really interesting offers and I'm still working on that, he tells HLTV in an interview.

The 25-year-old player has a positive match rating against the top 20 teams in the world, so maybe it would be a good idea to secure the service of the Indonesian riffler.

Another North American organization has put their entire roster on the transfer list.

Gen.G, who peaked on the world ranking as #12 in June, has placed their three remaining players and their coach on the transfer list. 

- Players aren't benched and it isn't VALORANT over CS. We want them to see any offers as we go into 2021. We recognize that it has been a challenging period for professional CS, and we're looking at how the scene develops into 2021. In the meantime, we wanted to make sure to minimize the impact on players, so we have allowed them to keep their options open while still under contract with us." Additionally, "[Gen.G] are willing to waive buyouts if the player[s] wants to go somewhere, a Gen.G representative told Rush B Media.

The players and coach placed on the transfer list are.

Timothy "autimatic" Ta is among the players, who are now on the transfer list. The AWP'er elaborated on Twitter, that he is looking to stay in CS:GO, but that he will also try out Valorant in the coming weeks.
