MOUZ have officially signed Lotan "Spinx" Giladi from Vitality, adding one of Counter-Strike's most consistent players to their roster. The move comes as the team retools following the unexpected benching of in-game leader Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek, signaling a shift in their strategic direction.
Spinx departs Vitality after more than two years with the organization, having joined from ENCE in August 2022. During his tenure, the Israeli star contributed to seven significant title wins, including the coveted BLAST Paris Major. His individual prowess earned him three consecutive appearances in HLTV's Top 20 Players of the Year, with his highest placement at No. 5 in 2023.
Spinx's departure from Vitality followed a challenging 2024 campaign. Despite early interest in exploring opportunities elsewhere, Spinx remained with the team and played a key role in their IEM Cologne triumph. However, by the year's end, both parties decided to part ways, paving the way for his next chapter with MOUZ.
Spinx is expected to take on the role of a rotating lurker, filling the void left by Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin, who has shifted to in-game leadership duties. This marks a new direction for MOUZ as they integrate one of the game's elite players into their system.
Due to the roster lock for IEM Katowice, Spinx will not participate in the team's upcoming matches in Poland. Academy talent Adrian "xelex" Vincze will step in as a stand-in for the event, while Spinx's debut is anticipated at PGL Cluj-Napoca, set to take place from February 14-23.
With Spinx's signing, MOUZ's roster is now:
🇭🇺 Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás
🇮🇱 Dorian "xertioN" Berman
🇫🇮 Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo
🇸🇪 Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin
🇮🇱 Lotan "Spinx" Giladi
🇩🇰 Dennis "sycrone" Nielsen (coach)
🇵🇱 Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek (benched)
