MOUZ Partners with Ølgod Efterskole to Build the NXT Generation of Esports Players
Building the Future of Esports
As part of this partnership, MOUZ will become the official esports partner of Ølgod Efterskole, a school recognized for its professional approach to gaming education. Our collaboration will center around educational exchange, creating a robust talent pipeline that feeds directly into MOUZ NXT, our world-leading CS2 Academy program.
Jan Dominicus, CBDO of MOUZ, shares his excitement: “Extremely excited to add another layer to our successful Academy program. Thanks to our cooperation with Ølgod Efterskole we will be able to learn a lot about how we can improve our support for talents also outside of the server. Meanwhile, we will be able to share our expertise with the gaming stars of tomorrow even earlier. Having a very solid educational foundation is important for everyone that aspires to become a professional gamer. That’s why we are very happy to support programs such as Ølgod Efterskole, where young players can both get an education and take a substantial next step towards a gaming career.”
MOUZ will also actively contribute to the school’s educational program by providing our experienced coaches and management staff for various classes. This hands-on involvement will ensure that students receive top-tier guidance from professionals who have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in the highly competitive world of esports. This approach not only enhances the quality of education but also bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world esports competition.
Dennis “sycrone” Nielsen, MOUZ CS Head Coach, adds: “We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Ølgod Efterskole. Talent development has always been central to MOUZ, and this partnership allows us to build on that legacy. Denmark’s strong sports culture and understanding of teamwork align perfectly with our values. We look forward to working with the talented players at Ølgod Efterskole, and who knows, maybe one day we’ll see one of them join the MOUZ ranks.”
Denmark: A Key Player in Esports
Denmark has always been a crucial region for MOUZ, geographically and strategically. With our headquarters in Hamburg, Denmark is our closest neighbor, and its influence on the global esports stage is undeniable. Our entire coaching staff and many players hail from Denmark, a country known for its success in developing top-tier esports talent.
Ølgod Efterskole has long been at the forefront of this effort, offering students the opportunity to hone their skills in a structured, supportive environment. Jakob Sommer from Ølgod Efterskole expresses his excitement: “We are extremely excited about this partnership with MOUZ. We believe it’s a great opportunity for our current and future students to develop even further and take the next step in their careers. We are looking forward to getting started and hopefully to a good and long collaboration and a lot of exciting experiences.”
We see this partnership as a natural extension of our commitment to developing a sustainable esports industry. By providing coaching and management expertise and incorporating MOUZ HQ into the curriculum, we aim to elevate the school’s already impressive program, giving students direct access to the knowledge and skills needed to excel in esports.
A Pathway to Success
For students at Ølgod Efterskole, this partnership offers a clear pathway to one of the most successful and long-standing esports organizations in the world. MOUZ NXT has a proven track record of developing young talent and preparing them for the highest levels of competition. The current MOUZ team consists of four players and one coach from the MOUZ NXT program. Through this collaboration, we plan to integrate promising players from Ølgod Efterskole into our Academy Program, offering them the chance to compete at the highest levels of Counter-Strike.
Stefan Wendt, CEO of MOUZ, adds: “We’re excited to partner with Ølgod Efterskole, where Denmark’s unique approach to integrating esports into education allows students to pursue their passion for gaming while receiving a quality education. While this kind of program isn’t yet common in Germany, we’re inspired by what Denmark is achieving and are proud to be part of this innovative initiative.”
This initiative focuses on educational exchange, with no financial transactions involved. Our goal is to contribute to the development of esports at the grassroots level, fostering a new generation of talent with a clear path to Tier 1 esports.
A New Chapter in Esports Education
This partnership represents a new chapter in how esports organizations and educational institutions can work together. By combining our expertise and resources, including integrating MOUZ HQ into the curriculum, we are setting a new standard for how young players are developed and prepared for professional careers in esports. We are excited to embark on this journey with Ølgod Efterskole and look forward to seeing the incredible talent that will emerge from this collaboration.
Together, we are not just building teams; we are building the future of esports.
Welcome to the MOUZ family, Ølgod Efterskole.
