In a groundbreaking move that signals a bold step forward for the future of MOUZ's Counter-Strike team, we are thrilled to announce the signing of the legendary former professional player, Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth, as our new assistant coach.

Bringing an unmatched wealth of experience, tactical acumen, and a history of success at the highest levels of competitive play, Xyp9x is poised to infuse our talented roster with the wisdom and strategies needed to dominate the global Counter-Strike scene.

Throughout his illustrious career, Xyp9x has been a paragon of excellence in the Counter-Strike world, amassing over $2 million USD in prize money and establishing himself as one of the most successful players in the history of the game.
