Thomas ��birdfromsky�� Due-Frederiksen will lead the new line-up, which consists of Florian ��syrsoN�� Rische, Jon ��JDC�� de Castro, Nikolaj ��niko�� Kristensen and Tim ��susp�� Angstrom, with Faruk ��pita�� Pita as coach.
There's no question about it.

The Norwegian organisation has followed the lead of Cloud9 and Team Liquid over the last year to move from a North or South American roster to a full European squad for their CS:GO teams.
According to a statement from 00NATION, the former Brazilian roster of Marcelo ��coldzera�� David, Eduardo ��dumau�� Wolkmer, Bruno ��latto�� Rebelatto, Lucas ��nqz�� Soares and Gabriel ��NEKIZ�� Schenato will be picked up and supported by a local investor.
“Building two separate companies, one in Brazil and the other in Europe, caused great pressure on the teams and resources,” the announcement stated.
“We came to the conclusion that it would make much more sense for Brazilian management and investors to take over Brazilian operations.”
The statement also said that ��the new project will be totally Brazilian, and all the lineups and staff will move into the new organisation��.
The new roster debuted under the 00NATION tag against Sampi in Pinnacle Cup V on Tuesday, where they dominated the all-Slovakian team 16-6 and 16-7.
]]>Following his outstanding performance for GamerLegion at the BLAST.tv Paris Major in April, siuhy��s name has been on the radar of a lot of teams during the Counter-Strike player break.
The Poland-born 20-year-old will take over as the in-game leader for MOUZ��s main roster after the organisation parted ways with previous in-game leader Christopher ��dexter�� Nong on Friday, June 30.
Siuhy has a lot of history with MOUZ, as he led their development squad to four consecutive WePlay Academy League titles in 2021 and 2022, so there was never any doubt about who he would join if he was to leave GamerLegion during the break.
With siuhy returning to MOUZ, he will also rejoin two of his former teammates and his coach from the development squad, with Adam ��torzsi�� Torzsas, Dorian ��xertioN�� Berman and coach Dennis ��sycrone�� Nielsen already on the roster.
After the announcement of his return, siuhy released a statement thanking everyone that helped him along the way from GamerLegion.
To a very special team that will always have a place in my heart.
Thank you @GamerLegion!

Meanwhile, MOUZ released their own statement on the MOUZ esports website speaking about what siuhy will bring to the organisation and CS:GO roster.
��Siuhy��s return infuses the team with a fresh mindset, but also familiarity, providing a solid foundation for their journey ahead,�� a MOUZ statement read.
��As they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented in CS2, MOUZ and siuhy aim to cement their place as one of the top contenders in the scene.��
After replacing dexter with siuhy, there is still one more move that MOUZ needs to make after they benched Jon ��JDC�� de Castro on June 29.
There are numerous reports that suggest that 16-year-old academy prospect Jimi ��Jimpphat�� Salo will be promoted to take fill JDC��s place and complete the five-man roster.
]]>MOUZ announced that the rifled would no longer start for the main team and has been moved to the inactive roster ahead of the fall season.
JDC joined the main lineup in March 2022 after less than a year on MOUZ NXT. During his time with the Academy roster, the player notably won three WePlay Academy League titles. JDC’s former MOUZ NXT teammates ��d��m “?torzsi?” Torzs��s and Dorian “?xertioN?” Berman eventually joined him on the lineup.
JDC did not have a particularly great start with the main team as they recorded a number of losses, like failing to qualify for the Antwerp Major. MOUZ were also eliminated from the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2022 in 9-12th place not long after.
As of today, @JDC_CSGO will be moving to the bench.
Thank you, Jon, for all the effort you put into MOUZ NXT and MOUZ.Wir w��nschen dir nichts als das Beste f��r deine Zukunft. pic.twitter.com/428JvM3HKB

The team started seeing some improvement in early 2022, reaching playoffs in events like the Electronic Sports League Pro League 16 and the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne. MOUZ also placed 3-4th in the IEM Rio Major 2022 and ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022 and runner-up in the Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022.
MOUZ saw a drop in performance at the start of 2023, and despite reaching the finals of events like the IEM Dallas 2023, the team faced multiple group exits and had to restructure. The IEM Dallas 2023 was JDC’s last event with MOUZ, where he posted an impressive 1.12 rating.
With JDC gone, MOUZ currently consist of David “?frozen?” ?er��ansky, Christopher “?dexter?” Nong, ��d��m “?torzsi?” Torzs��s, and Dorian “xertioN” Berman. The team are reportedly set to bring in GamerLegion in-game leader Kamil “?siuhy?” Szkaradek to complete their ranks during the transfer window.
MOUZ’s next event will be the IEM Cologne 2023 which will kick off on July 25 to August 6.
