Passion UA CEO: "There were rumors about what NAVI were willing to spend, and we agreed with MongolZ on a higher sum"

Artemijs Rjabovs, CEO of Ukrainian esports club Passion UA, announced that the organization has an option to purchase Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold after IEM Cologne Major 2026, subject to the agreement of all parties. Rjabovs also added that Passion UA ​​outbid NAVI regarding Senzu's loan/transfer offer.

The negotiations were tough because, if I’m correct, this is the first time The MongolZ sell a player. <...>

There were rumors about NAVI and the money they were willing to spend, and we agreed with The MongolZ on a little bit higher sum than what NAVI were offering.

NAVI Head of Esports Amiran "ami" Rehviashvili, on his X social media account, refuted the Passion UA ​​CEO's statement.

That’s a lie, we didn’t offer anything. Delusional CEO.

Notably, a couple of days ago, Passion UA ​​announced one of two players who would be departing the squad to make room for Santino "try" Regal and Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold– both esports athletes joined the team on February 13.
