For longtime fans, the name lmbt brings back memories of an era when MOUZ was rising fast in the Counter-Strike world. From 2016 to 2019, Sergiy stood behind our main roster, helping shape one of the strongest and most consistent lineups we’ve had. During those years, the team clinched international titles like ESL One New York 2018, V4 Future Sports Festival 2018, StarLadder Season 4, and ESG Tour Mykonos 2017, going toe-to-toe with the best in the world, and beating them.

But perhaps the most lasting legacy of that time was a quiet Estonian rifler who joined the team as a teenager. Robin “ropz” Kool was just beginning his career when lmbt gave him his first shot on a pro stage, identifying his talent early and helping lay the foundation for what would become one of Counter-Strike’s greatest success stories. The same trust, mentorship, and development that helped shape ropz now returns to nurture the next generation.

 

A Decade of High-Level Coaching

Since his first stint with MOUZ, lmbt has added even more experience to his already deep story so far. He’s worked with teams like HellRaisers, forZe, and most recently Monte Esports, helping players grow in all stages of their careers. Whether coaching rising stars or seasoned veterans, his approach has stayed the same: structure, honesty, and high standards.

Now, he’s bringing that mindset back to where it all started.

 

Why MOUZ NXT?

MOUZ NXT isn’t just an academy team and it will be lmbt’s mission to cement the status as a successful incubator for the upcoming generation of CS star players. With four WePlay Academy League titles and a track record of producing players who go on to shine on the biggest stages, MOUZ NXT is wideley considered as the most successful talent developmental program in all of Counter-Strike.

Sergiy knows what it takes to make that leap. And he knows how to prepare players, not just mechanically, but mentally, for the grind, the pressure, and the opportunity.

 

A Natural Fit

Bringing lmbt back feels right. He knows the DNA of this organization. He understands our philosophy of player development approach. And he brings exactly the kind of calm, focused and demanding presence, that can take MOUZ NXT to the next level.

Welcome back, Coach. Let’s build what’s NXT.
