MOUZ have decided to bench Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek, citing "different visions for the team’s future" in an official announcement on X. The move ends an 18-month tenure during which the Polish leader guided MOUZ to significant achievements and cemented his reputation as one of the top IGLs in the game.
After rejoining MOUZ in mid-2023 following an impressive spell with GamerLegion, siuhy led the team to victories at ESL Pro League Seasons 18 and 19 and the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade, alongside three runner-up finishes. The squad also made it to the semi-finals of the Shanghai Major to close out 2024, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Spirit.
In a surprising shift, Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin will step into the IGL role, transitioning from his rifler position. The Swedish player, who narrowly missed a spot in HLTV’s 2024 Top 20 list, faces the challenge of balancing leadership with maintaining individual performance. MOUZ now need to secure a strong rifler to compensate for this adjustment.
Due to roster lock rules, MOUZ will be unable to register a permanent replacement in time for IEM Katowice. As a result, academy player Adrian "xelex" Vincze, who joined MOUZ NXT in September, will step in as their fifth member.
With siuhy benched, MOUZ's current roster is:
🇭🇺 Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás
🇫🇮 Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo
🇸🇪 Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin
🇮🇱 Dorian "xertioN" Berman
🇭🇺 Adrian "xelex" Vincze (IEM Katowice stand-in)
🇩🇰 Dennis "sycrone" Nielsen (coach)
🇵🇱 Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek (benched)
