After a surprising and impressive run to the finals of the BLAST.tv Paris Major with GamerLegion, siuhy returned to MOUZ. This reunion with his former NXT teammates, along with the addition of Jimpphat, proved to be a successful strategy. The team clinched the title at the ESL Pro League Season 18, a major CS:GO event, just three months into their collaboration.
siuhy has consistently shown exceptional skills in leading the team, helping MOUZ maintain a strong performance level in the early stages of CS2. The team reached the semi-finals at IEM Sydney, even with a stand-in player, and later achieved a runners-up position at the CS Asia Championships.
We are happy to announce that @siuhycs signed a multi-year contract extension!

This contract extension is particularly significant as MOUZ faces a challenging period ahead. They recently lost a key player, David “frozen” Čerňanský, to FaZe. This leaves a gap in the team as they prepare for the upcoming PGL Copenhagen Major at the start of 2024. MOUZ plans to use Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin as a stand-in for their next World Final appearance.
In a statement on MOUZ’s website, the 21-year-old captain siuhy expressed the main reasons for renewing his contract. He highlighted his familiarity and good relations with his teammates, emphasizing the importance of chemistry and a positive atmosphere in the team. He also expressed his desire to be a mentor and grow alongside his teammates, reflecting a commitment to both his personal development and the success of the team.
